processes and  cognitive processes such as memory, language, perception,
attention, visual cognition and/or psychophysiology.

(3) COGNITIVE PSYCHOLOGY: Expertise in any area of cognition. Individuals
with broad interests in language processing and cognitive science, and
research expertise in  psycholinguistics, discourse processing, speech
comprehension and production, word perception and/or reading will be given
special consideration.

(4) COGNITIVE MODELING: Expertise in the computational modeling of cognitive,
perceptual, and/or neural processes. Individuals with the demonstrated
ability to relate these models to empirical observations are especially
encouraged to apply.

(5) SOCIAL COGNITION: Experts in such areas as social judgment and decision-
making, social memory, beliefs and attitudes, affect, motivation, social
psychophysiology, and/or interpersonal relations are especially encouraged to
