Posters

Two poster sessions (one on November 6th and one on November 7th, 20 posters per session) provide a forum for PhD students and postdocs to network and receive feedback on their work related to attention-learning interactions.

The Cognitive Science Society has generously offered a $250 prize for the best student presentation. The prize winner will also receive complimentary membership to the Cognitive Science Society for the next year.
