Thanks to the generous support of the William K. and Katherine W. Estes
Fund advanced training program through the Association for Psychological
Science and the Psychonomic Society, we are pleased to offer a one week
workshop titled Computational Cognitive Models of Learning and Development.
<https://sites.google.com/view/compmodelscogdevworkshop/home>

In this workshop, students will develop an understanding of computational
methods that can facilitate a deeper exploration of learning and
development.  Students will develop connections between state-of-the-art
methods in machine learning, computer science, and statistics, and accounts
of psychological behavior, specifically cognitive models of learning and
development. By the end of the course, students will have acquired applied
knowledge to further develop new computational models, and analysis methods
for studying questions in learning and cognitive development.

DATES: May 15th-19th, 2023

LOCATION: The Harvard University Campus, Cambridge, MA. Please note, the
workshop will be held in person.

INTENDED AUDIENCE: The workshop is intended for trainees (Graduate
students, Postdocs, Masters students, and Lab Managers) with a strong
background in Cognitive Development and the Learning Sciences, but with
novice and beginner level modeling experience. We may consider early career
faculty positions in rare cases. We especially encourage applications from
students identifying as individuals from under-represented groups.

HOW TO APPLY: People interested in attending the workshop can apply using

regarding vaccination and in-person visits.

COST: The workshop is free for all attendees, however attendees are
expected to fund their accommodation and travel. Some funding may be
available to cover travel for students identifying as individuals from
under-represented groups.

DEADLINE: Applications <https://forms.gle/UogyuUvF4mhpJakJ7> received by
