interested in exploring questions such as: Why are some cognitive processes so capacity-limited? What principles and mechanisms enable the acquisition and use of abstract knowledge? What are the costs and benefits of compositionality? What common information-processing
principles do humans and LLMs share, and where do they diverge? Both empirical and theoretical approaches to these and related questions are welcome.</span></div>
