Eighth Australasian Mathematical Psychology Conference (AMPC97)

[John Dunn]

Second Call for Papers

Eighth Australasian Mathematical Psychology Conference (AMPC97)
November 27-30, 1997
University of Western Australia
Perth, W.A.
Australia
 
Conference organisers: 	John Dunn, Mike Kalish, Steve Lewandowsky
Email to: mathpsych at psy.uwa.edu.au.

-----------------------------------------------------

AMPC97 provides an opportunity for researchers interested in the application
of mathematical analysis to psychology to meet and exchange views. Relevant
domains include Experimental Psychology (particularly computational models),
Cognitive Science, Connectionist Modelling, Scaling, Psychological Methods,
Statistics and Test Theory. 

Papers are invited from researchers in all areas of mathematical psychology.
Contributors are encouraged to propose topics for focused symposia,
consisting of three to six papers, to present their work. The following
symposia have been accepted. If you wish to present a paper at any of these,
please contact the relevant convenor, listed below. Requests for additional
symposia should be directed to the conference organisers at
mathpsych at psy.uwa.edu.au.

The current deadline for abstracts is August 31, 1997.

Special issue of the Australian Journal of Psychology
-----------------------------------------------------
A special issue of the Australian Journal of Psychology dedicated to
Mathematical Psychology will be forthcoming in late 1998 or early 1999. The
conference organisers, John Dunn, Mike Kalish and Stephan Lewandowsky, will
act as guest editors of this issue. All contributors to AMPC97 are invited
to submit a paper which will be fully peer reviewed by researchers who are
not contributing  to the special issue.

The aim of the special issue is to showcase the work of Australian
mathematical psychologists and to demonstrate how this work is at the
forefront of international developments. We are therefore particularly
interested in papers arising from international collaboration, preferably
those co-authored by researchers in Australia and abroad.
