[CogSci] DUCOG26 - Adaptations across different timescales - Late-breaking abstract submission until 20 March!

[DUCOG - Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science]

Dear All,



We are pleased to announce the *late-breaking abstract submission* for
the XVII.
Dubrovnik Conference on Cognitive Science devoted to Adaptations across
different timescales until 20 March! The conference is going to take place
on 21-24 May 2026, in the Center for Advanced Studies of Dubrovnik,
Croatia, located by the Adriatic sea at the foot of the old city of
Dubrovnik, a UNESCO world heritage site.

Adaptation is a defining feature of living systems, from immediate
adjustments to long-term developmental and societal changes. Here, we will
explore adaptation and its limits across multiple scales, asking how
individuals, groups, and societies adjust to shifting internal and external
demands, and what this means for personality and mental health. We will be
interested in how cognition is adjusted to cope with more immediate
challenges like scarcity, threat, or turmoil. On top of that, effects of
the environment during sensitive developmental periods can leave enduring
marks on information processing and behavioural tendencies. In this vein,
we will consider whether cognitive correlates of personality traits and
psychopathology can be seen as generalized adaptations to the past, or as
obstacles to meeting challenges in the present. In this conference, we will
bring together researchers who address this broad question from various
angles such as experimental psychology, genetics and neuroscience, or
clinical & personality psychology, and use diverse tools such as
computational cognitive modelling and time series analysis of daily life
data.

Invited speakers include:

   -

   Laura Bringmann (University of Groningen)
   -

   Judith R. Homberg (Radboud University)
   -
