STUDENT TRAVEL AWARDS FOR GRADUATE
STUDENTS
AND POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLARS (2008)
The Society for Mathematical Psychology is providing a limited number of $100 student travel awards on a competitive basis. The purpose of these student travel awards is to subsidize the costs of travel to the Society for Mathematical Psychology Meeting which will be held at The Fairmont Washington D.C. Hotel (www.fairmont.com/washington) in Washington, D.C. In order to be eligible for a graduate student travel award, the student must: (1) be a student member of the Society for Mathematical Psychology, and (2) be a graduate student. Postdoctoral scholars are now also eligible to apply for student travel awards. In addition, an applicant for a travel award must be a co-author on an abstract for oral or poster presentation at the Society for Mathematical Psychology meeting as well as include a copy of that abstract in their application packet. Students should also include a vita with their application. Applications must be postmarked by April 30, 2008 and sent to: Mathematical Psychology Student Travel Award, Attention: Dr. Richard Golden, School of Behavioral and Brain Sciences - GR4.1, University of Texas at Dallas, 800 West Campbell Road, Richardson, TX 75080-3021.
Awards will be officially announced and distributed at the Society for Mathematical Psychology Business Meeting in Washington, D.C.

CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE
41st Annual Meeting of the
Society for Mathematical Psychology
at
The Fairmont Washington DC Hotel
Saturday Evening July 26, 2008 – Tuesday Noon July 29, 2008
immediately following the 30th Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science
Society
Featuring Symposia Covering the
Topics of:
Cognitive Decision Theory Causal Modeling
Computational Linguistics Psychometric Assessment
Submission Deadlines:
April 1, 2008 (papers) - April 20, 2008 (posters)
*Submissions deadline extended to April
30th
*Submission deadline for POSTERS has been
extended to April 30 as well
The 41st Annual Meeting of the Society for Mathematical Psychology will
begin the Evening of July 26, 2008 (Saturday) and end the Afternoon of
July 29 (Tuesday). The conference will be located in Washington, D.C.
at The Fairmont Washington DC hotel (www.fairmont/washington).
See www.mathpsych.org for additional details
regarding this year’s Mathematical Psychology conference as they
develop as well as information regarding how to register for the conference.
The 41st Annual Meeting of the Mathematical Psychology Society will immediately
follow the 30th Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society (which
will takes place July 23-July 26 about 2 miles away at the Omni Shoreham
Hotel (www.cognitivesciencesociety.org/cogsci.html).
Please support the 41st Annual Meeting by taking advantage of the special
conference discount rates offered by the Fairmont exclusively to SMP participants
and please register early for the conference. Make sure to mention that
you are with the Society for Mathematical Psychology to obtain your discount
rates!!
Papers for the meetings may be submitted by regular members, student members,
and non-members. Any o¬ne person may present only one paper, but may
be a co-author of other papers, or may be an invited speaker or symposium
participant. Papers will be limited to those in which mathematical, statistical,
or simulation methods play a significant role in the development of psychological
hypotheses or the interpretation of results. Purely theoretical developments
should clearly relate to substantive issues or contribute to methodologies
of obvious use in psychology, cognitive science, cognitive neuroscience,
and related areas. Experimental results should bear directly on some mathematical
or simulation model.
Programs of past meetings appear in the Journal of Mathematical Psychology
and are available at the official conference website: www.mathpsych.org.
All members of the society are welcome to make suggestions for symposia
and invited speakers. Contact Dr. Michael Dougherty (mdougherty@psyc.umd.edu)
for further information and to make suggestions. Papers will be accepted
o¬n the basis of their quality and suitability and not according to
the author's affiliation with the Society. Presentations that bridge disciplines
and treat issues of mathematical interest in the behavioral and social
sciences, cognitive science, and cognitive neuroscience are highly encouraged.
For oral papers, presentation time will be limited to a maximum of 25
minutes including five minutes for discussion. Sessions will be strictly
timed. Poster presentations have the advantage of longer discussion time,
less formality, and closer audience contact. The "status" associated
with poster presentations will be equal to that associated with oral presentations.
Poster “spotlight” sessions are planned to allow poster presenters
to give brief 2-3 minute overview of their posters.
