Title: Why Cognitive Scientists Should Care About Computational Complexity
Date: Wednesday 22 May 2019
Time: 13:00-14:00
Location: ILLC Common Room (F1.21), Science Park 107, Amsterdam

Abstract:
Computational complexity theory studies the computational resources (e.g., time, space, randomness, etc.) required for solving computational problems. Its analytical tools aren't yet commonly taught in cognitive science and many still go about their business without much concern for the computational resources presupposed by their theories and models. Yet, there are good reasons for cognitive scientists to care more about computational complexity. In this talk I will explain how computational complexity theory provides useful analytical tools to guide and constrain computational-level theorizing.
