From Individual-Level Cognition to Collective Dynamics - Ralf Kurvers

Explore the collective dynamics of social systems in this 48-minute lecture from the Santa Fe Institute's 2022 Workshop on Constructing & Deconstructing Collectives. Delve into evidence accumulation models, evolutionary algorithms, and collective dynamics. Examine resource finding, Rochester's paradox, and Asian-based simulations. Investigate predictions, real-life testing, and robotics applications. Engage with discussions on gender effects, social context, and predicting the future. Learn about real-time information exchange, experimental approaches, and ice fishing competitions. Gain insights into the transition from individual-level cognition to collective behavior through various examples and research findings.
