This book of Proceedings contains the accepted papers of the first International Workshop on Artificial Intelligence and Cognition (AIC13). The workshop, held in Turin (Italy) on 3rd December 2013, has been co-located with the XIII Inter national Conference of the Italian Association on Artificial Intelligence.

The scientific motivation behind AIC13 resides on the growing impact that, in the last years, the collaboration between Cognitive Science and Artificial In telligence (AI) had for both the disciplines. In AI this partnership has driven to the realization of intelligent systems based on plausible models of human cognition. In turn, in cognitive science, the partnership allowed the development of cognitive models and architectures (based on information processing, on representations and their anipulation, etc.) providing greater understanding on human thinking.

The spirit and aim of the AI and Cognition workshop is therefore that one of putting together researchers coming from different domains (e.g., artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science, engineering, philosophy, social sciences, etc.) working on the interdisciplinary field of cognitively inspired artificial systems. In this workshop proceedings appear 2 abstracts of the talks provided by the keynote speakers and 16 peer reviewed papers. Specifically 8 full papers (31 % acceptance rate) and 8 short papers were selected on a total of 26 submissions coming from researchers of 14 different countries.

In the following a short introduction to the content of the papers (full and short) is presented.
