CogSci 2022
The 44th Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society was a fully hybrid meeting where the in-person component was held in Toronto, Canada at the Metro Toronto Conference Centre on Wednesday July 27th – Saturday July 30th, 2022 (Wednesday, July 27th is the Tutorials and Workshops Day).
The conference highlighted research on the theme Cognitive Diversity in addition to the full breadth and diversity of research topics offered by the society’s membership. The meeting adhered to the traditional meeting structure of previous conferences with keynotes, award talks and invited panel presentations, including the Elman and Rumelhart Symposia, Glushko Award talks, and the Rumelhart Keynote by Michael Tomasello. In addition to the keynotes and award sessions, the meeting had individual talk presentations, contributed symposia sessions as well as poster presentations, and virtual flash talks. Talks are available for up to two years post conference for registered delegates. Delegates and presenters participated in a LIVE Hybrid Q&A following all presentations to encourage discussion and future collaborations.
