Call for Papers
Object and event perception are core features of human cognitive
processing. Further, these core human cognitive abilities may be
reflected differently in language and in perception. This symposium aims
to integrate perspectives from different areas (including psychology,
neuroscience, linguistics, computer science, AI, and philosophy). The
symposium will focus primarily on the following topics, but is not
limited to them:
Events and objects
Events in space and time
Event perception from a developmental perspective
Developmental origins of event and object perception
Neural principles of event and object perception
Perception of causality
Relations between objects and events
Typology of events and objects
Events in semantics
Deadlines:
Abstracts of no more than 250 words are to be submitted by May 15
(lpcs at lu.lv). (Abstracts should contain a brief description of relevant
theory, research design and methods, and results.) Authors will be
notified in the second half of May.
