The 24th Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society 
(CogSci2002),  will be held August 8 - 10, 2002 (Thursday through 
Saturday), at George Mason University, Fairfax, Virginia, USA. 
(http://www.hfac.gmu.edu/~cogsci/). CogSci2002 is the annual meeting 
of the premier society for basic and applied cognitive science 
research. We encourage researchers from across the world to submit 
their best work and to attend CogSci2002 to hear the latest theories 
and data from the world's best cognitive science researchers.

This year, Prof. Richard Shiffrin will receive the $100,000 Rumelhart 
Prize at the conference for his life achievements in quantitative 
modeling of cognitive phenomena.
