human cognitive processing. Although they seem very different, research has
revealed behavioral and neural linkages between the two domains. This symposium
aims to integrate perspectives from research in the two areas, using techniques
from psychology and neuroscience (as well as linguistics, computer science, AI,
and philosophy, depending on participants’ interests). The symposium will focus
primarily on the following topics, but is not limited to them:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 36pt;line-height:18pt;font-size:12pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><span style="font-size:16pt;font-family:"Apple Color Emoji";color:rgb(38,37,36)">▪<span style="font-variant-numeric:normal;font-variant-east-asian:normal;font-stretch:normal"></span><span style="font-size:7pt">
