The research project R8-[CSpace] investigates the cognitive complexity involved in spatial relational reasoning problems and planning scenarios. We address cognitive complexity from a computational and empirical perspective by using cognitive modeling methods from Artificial Intelligence informed by behavioral experiments. One potential application of such a theory is the improvement of human-machine interaction.

Strong interest in cognitive science research especially in Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Modeling (e.g., in the cognitive architecture ACT-R) or neuro-imaging data analysis and in interdisciplinary collaboration is expected.
