The Developmental Dynamics Lab and the Theory of Cognitive Systems Group will be contributing to the CogSci 2024 conference program , including 2 organized symposiums, 2 talks, and 3 posters.

Symposium

• Gregor Schöner chairs the symposium "How does the sensory-motor brain integrate and give rise to cognition and learning?" with Illiyana Trifonova & John Spencer giving a talk on "A neural dynamic model of auditory word learning and recognition"
• John Spencer chairs the symposium "Is Deep Learning the Answer for Understanding Human Cognitive Dynamics?" with Raul Grieben & Gregor Schöner giving a talk on "Bridging Dynamic Field Theory and Deep Neural Networks – A model of guided visual attention in natural environments"

Talks

• Ajaz Bhat, John Spencer  & Larissa Samuelson on "Similarity in object properties supports cross-situational word learning: Predictions from a dynamic neural model confirmed"
• Lea Kati, Daniel Sabinasz, Gregor Schöner on "Interaction of polarity and truth value - A neural dynamic architecture of negation processing" in collaboration with Barbara Kaup from the University of Tübingen

Posters

• Stephan Sehring, Richard Koebe, Sophie Aerdker, Gregor Schöner on "A Neural Dynamic Model Autonomously Drives a Robot to Perform Structured Sequences of Action Intentions"
• Minseok Kang, Daniel Sabinasz, Gregor Schöner on "A Neural Process Model of Structure Mapping Accounts for Children’s Development of Analogical Mapping by Change in Inhibitory Control"
• Stacey Stuart, John Spencer on "Testing a dynamic field model of infant visual attention"
