2018, the joint gathering of the 51<sup class="">st</sup> Annual Meeting of the Society
for Mathematical Psychology and the 16<sup class="">th</sup> International Conference on
Cognitive Modeling (ICCM): the premier conference for research on computational
models and computation-based theories of human cognition. Following our success in 2017, ICCM has again
joined forces with the Society for Mathematical Psychology to create a
conference in which all sessions are open to all attendees, and cross-talk is
