* Topical focus: How Language and Behavior Constitute Cognition
* Submission deadline: 7 May 2014 *
* http://www.ccs.uni-tuebingen.de/kogwis14 *
KogWis 2014 invites submissions of extended abstracts on current work in cognitive science. Generally all topics related to cognitive science are welcome. Contributions that address the focus of this meeting, that is, language and behavior and the construction of cognition due to language and behavior are particularly encouraged. Submissions will be sorted by topic and paradigms and will be independently reviewed. Notifications of acceptance will depend on the novelty of the research, the significance of the results, and the presentation of the work.
Submission and Proceedings:
KogWis calls for submissions in extended abstract format. Abstracts for oral presentations should not exceed 4 pages, abstracts for poster contributions should not exceed 2 pages, including pictures and references. All accepted contributions will be published in the form of a Supplement KogWis 2014 in the journal Cognitive Processing (Springer Verlag).
