ACT-R is a cognitive theory and simulation system for developing cognitive models for tasks that vary from simple reaction time paradigms to driving a car and air traffic control, see: http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu for more information. In spring 2013, we will organize a third European ACT-R Spring School and Workshop. This is a first announcement, a call for registrations will follow in January.

Spring School

The spring school will take place from Monday April 8 to Thursday April 12. The spring school is set up around the tutorial units that can be found on http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/actr6/ with a lecture introducing the topic in the morning, and a presentation on a more advanced topic associated to the day's topic in the afternoon. During the day, students can work on the unit assignments under the supervision of expert ACT-R modelers. 

Master Class

Like previous years, we will also accept a number of more advanced students who can work on their own projects and get input from other modelers and spring school teachers. 

European ACT-R Workshop

The European ACT-R workshop will take place immediately following the spring school. Participants are invited to present their ACT-R research by submitting a title and abstract with their registration, which will be published online in informal proceedings. We are also open for proposals for other types of contributions, for example small symposia. 

Housing 

A block of rooms will be reserved in the University Guest House. Alternatively, other hotels can be found at, for example, http://www.hotels.nl/groningen/ - but be aware that some of the hotels advertised as being in Groningen are a car-ride from the city center/location of the spring school and workshop.

Registration

A call for registrations will follow in January.
