<b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">Spatial Cognition</span></b><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""> is concerned with the acquisition, development, representation, organization, and use of knowledge about spatial objects in real, virtual
or hybrid environments and processed by human or artificial agents. Spatial Cognition includes research from fields such as cognitive and developmental psychology, linguistics, computer science, geography, cartography, philosophy, neuroscience, and education.
The conference is single-track, and the final program will be the result of a selective review process. The program will include oral and poster presentations of refereed papers, symposia and keynote talks.</span></p>

the workshop we will give a brief introduction to eye tracking as a method, starting from the physiological basis of human attention and the vision system through the method basics and finishing at fields of application in psychological and interdisciplinary
research. In the second part, participants will have the chance to join hands-on sessions to try out Tobii Pros latest screen-based eye tracking solutions. This workshop is aimed at beginners and advanced eye tracking users, as well as interested parties.</span></p>
