<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">As replicating human-like decisions is at the core of agent-based modelling for social simulation, we need theories, models, and methods for building agents that reproduce authentic and
realistic features of human deliberation (e.g. the more deprived is a need, the greater is the corrective action) while fitting within the constraints and purposes set by social simulations (e.g. covering specific social phenomena, scalability). </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The current prevailing approach to model human decision-making in social simulation revolves around random distributions of behaviors, which reduces both the spectrum of possible simulations
to cases where decisions can be simplified to distributions and the accuracy of simulations as psychological incoherences and subsequent wrong conclusions can be introduced [1,2,3]. If we want to step up social simulation for improving both the range of phenomena
we can cover and the realism of our models, we need our models to be further ingrained in the findings identified by psychology and cognitive sciences. However, the question of how to produce such models and how to balance the extra expenses they entail (e.g.
complexity, validation, computational costs) with simulation benefits (e.g. realism, explainability) remain open and is the subject of this track.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
