VENUE: Online venue – access will be provided after registration.

DATES: July 15-31, 2020, with live Q&A sessions July 22-31, 2020. We invite you to virtual MathPsych/ICCM 2020, the joint gathering of the 53rd Annual Meeting of the Society for Mathematical Psychology and the 18th International Conference on Cognitive Modelling (ICCM): the premier conference for research on computational models and computation-based theories of human cognition. Following our success in previous years, ICCM has again joined forces with the Society for Mathematical Psychology to create a conference in which all sessions are open to all attendees, and cross-talk is highly encouraged. Virtual MathPsych/ICCM 2020 is a forum for presenting and discussing the complete spectrum of cognitive modeling approaches, including connectionism, symbolic modeling, dynamical systems, Bayesian modeling, and cognitive architectures. Research topics can range from low-level perception to high-level reasoning. We also welcome contributions that use computational models to better understand neuroscientific data. The virtual conference will run from July 15, 2020 (approx. 9am Eastern daylight time) to July 31, 2020 (approx. 6pm Eastern daylight time) with live Q&A sessions July 22, 2020 to July 31, 2020. Pre-recorded talks and poster and a discussion forum will be available throughout the conference period. More information about the schedule for submitting video presentations, viewing periods etc., can be found on the conference website. Virtual MathPsych/ICCM 2020 is now accepting submissions. Please visit the conference website or go directly to the submission website. The deadline for all MathPsych and ICCM submissions is May 8, 2020. There are 4 submission categories: Symposia MathPsych Abstracts (up to 250 words) ICCM Extended Abstracts (up to 2 pages) ICCM Full papers (up to 6 pages) Please note that there are 3 categories of presentations: Symposia (submissions have closed) Talks Posters -- this presentation format will be replaced by lightning/flash talks For all three presentation types the initial structure will be identical: Asynchronous: recorded talks (15 minutes or less for symposium talks and regular talks; 5 minutes or less for posters, with no more than 4 slides). After a viewing period, we will open a discussion board where people can pre-post panel questions. Second part of structure: Synchronous: Symposia will be followed by a LIVE discussion panel during which panelists answer questions from the discussion board first and then take questions from a live audience. Times for these discussion panels will be staggered over time zones. More information about the schedule for submitting video presentations, suggested viewing periods etc., will be made available on the conference website. How-to A how-to guide for prerecording your video presentation along with uploading instructions will be disseminated once acceptance notifications have been made.
