Welcome Dear Colleague: We are happy to welcome you to the 49th Annual Meeting of the Society for Mathematical Psychology hosted by Rutgers University. This year’s conference runs from August 4 to 7, and will feature keynote addresses from John Anderson, Chris Donkin (2015 winner of the William K. Estes Early Career Award), and Brandon Turner (2015 winner of the William K. Estes Early Career Award). There are also three invited symposia with a total of 17 talks, 89 contributed talks, and more than 20 posters. As conference kickoff events, there will be a workshop on working with psiTurk, a workshop on Teaching Bayesian statistics with JASP, and a professional development symposium hosted by the Women of Mathematical Psychology. We would especially like to acknowledge the support of Rutgers University, which is celebrating its 250th anniversary this year. Their support made an important contribution to many aspects of this year’s conference, including our keynote speakers and invited symposium speakers.

Best, The organizing committee: Pernille Hemmer

Donations We gratefully acknowledge the generous donations provided by: Rutgers University Center for Cognitive Science (RuCCS) Department of Psychology, Rutgers University-New Brunswick Rutgers Graduate School-New Brunswick The Office for the Promotion of Women in Science, Engineering,and Mathematics (SciWomen), Rutgers University

General Information Locations The conference will be held at the Heldrich Hotel (Street address: 10 Livingston Ave, New Brunswick, NJ 08901). All major events of the conference will take place on the second floor in the Perkins/Roosevelt, Neilson, and Kelly Rooms. The welcoming reception will take place at Harvest Moon (Street address: 392 George St, New Brunswick, NJ 08901) and the conference kickoff workshops on August 4th will be held at Rutgers University in Voorhees Hall, Room 105 (Street address: 71 Hamilton Street, New Brunswick, NJ 08901)

Welcome Reception The welcome reception will be held August 3rd at Harvest Moon (Street address: 392 George St, New Brunswick, NJ 08901) and begin at 7:00pm. There will be appetizers and a cash bar, as well as a brief welcoming address by the organizing committee.

Registration Desk The registration desk will be set up outside the Perkins/Roosevelt room, and volunteers will be present at all times to register attendees and answer questions.

Catering, Lunch, & Coffee breaks As part of the registration, we offer breakfast and a lunch buffet to all attendees on the main days of the conference (August 5th, 6th, and 7th). There will be daily coffee breaks with snacks and refreshments.

Conference Dinner The conference dinner is scheduled on the evening of Saturday, August 6th. At 5:00pm, chartered coach transportation will leave from the Heldrich Hotel to the Spirit of New Jersey cruise ship, offering a 3 hour cruise along the Upper Bay, Hudson, and East Rivers (http://www.spiritcruises.com/new-york-metro/cruises/dinnercruises). Return transportation will arrive back at the hotel at approximately 11:00pm.

Travel Located in central New Jersey, New Brunswick is only a short trip away from both New York and Philadelphia; located 23 miles from Newark Liberty International Airport, approximately 50 miles from LaGuardia Airport and JFK Airport, and 75 miles from Philadelphia International. Additionally, it is accessible via train on the Northeast Corridor Line for Atlantic coast participants. In addition to driving, there are a number of ways to arrive at campus. New Brunswick is accessible by train and bus. NJ Transit trains from New York Penn Station take approximately one hour. Passengers arriving at JFK or LGA should take a taxi or subway/MTA bus to connect at Penn Station (http://web.mta.info/nyct/sbs/M60LaGuardiaAirportHarlem/index.html). Bus lines generally depart the Port Authority Bus Terminal, and can take longer depending upon the time of day. You can use NJ Transit trains to depart directly from Newark Liberty International Airport.

Transportation to Cognitive Science conference The Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society will be held at the Philadelphia Convention Center, about 60 miles from our conference, or about a 1h15m drive for those who take I-95 and the NJ turnpike. Philadelphia is also accessible by train. The ride will take approximately 1 1/2 hours. There are several options, including Amtrak, as well as some commercial bus services. Visit www.septa.org and www.njtransit.com for more information on public transportation options.

Presentation Guidelines Talks There will be three parallel talk sessions in rooms Perkins/Roosevelt, Neilson, and Kelly, consisting of strict 20-minute slots for every talk (15 min. talk + 5 min. for discussion). It is essential to stick to timing so everyone can switch sessions in order to hear specific talks. Symposium talks are on the same schedule. Each session will be chaired by the first speaker in the block. Each speaker can use their own computer or one of the computers provided in the session room (please give your presentation in Powerpoint or PDF format to the room assistant well before the session starts).

Keynote Speakers The keynote addresses on Friday and Sunday will be held at 2:00pm (John Anderson and Chris Donkin respectively). Saturday’s keynote address will be held at 1:30pm (Brandon Turner). All keynote addresses will take place in the Perkins/Roosevelt room.

Invited Symposia There will be three invited symposia. The first symposium is scheduled for Friday from 9:00am to 12:00pm in the Perkins/Roosevelt room and is titled “Integrating Prior Knowledge with Memory” (Chair: Robert Jacobs). The second symposium is scheduled for Friday from 3:20pm to 5:30pm in the Kelly Room and is titled “Probabilistic Approaches to Perceptual Organization” (Chair: Jacob Feldman & Manish Singh). The third symposium will be on “Trends in Modeling Cognition with Cognitive Architectures” (Chair: Marieke van Vugt) and will be on Saturday from 9:00am to 10:20am in the Kelly room.

Posters The posters will be on display on Friday from 5:00pm to 7:00pm in the Johnson Room, and the poster session will take place from 5:30pm to 7:00pm. The name of the first author will be displayed on each poster board. The size of each poster board is 4ft (width) × 3ft (height).

Abstracts No printed abstract booklets will be distributed at the conference. Instead, the 2016 conference has a smartphone app through Eventor. To install Eventor, use the QR code to the right or go to http://www.eventor.mobi/secure/conference/652 on your mobile device. In the app, simply look for the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Society for Mathematical Psychology and find all the abstracts there. We will also make available a printable PDF file for those who want to bring a hard copy of the abstracts book. 3

Conference Kickoff Events psiTurk This is an open platform for science on Amazon Mechanical Turk. The workshop covers key aspects of open source projects, and doing experiments online using psiTurk. This workshop will be from 9:00 AM to 10:45 AM on Thursday, August 4th.

JASP JASP, or Just Another Statistics Package, is an open source statistics platform. The workshop will cover how JASP can make Bayesian versions of common analyses (such as t-tests, ANOVA, regression, etc.) available to a broad audience and be used to teach Bayesian statistics to psychology students. This workshop will be from 11:05 AM to 12:50 PM on Thursday, August 4th.

Women of MathPsych Professional Development Symposium The Women of Mathematical Psychology (WoMP) proudly announces Karen Kafadar (University of Virginia, Charlotteville) will be the Keynote speaker for the Professional Development Symposium: “Reaching out from the Ivory Tower: Building Bridges with Industry, Public Policy, and Government. This symposium will be held from 2:00 to 5:30 PM on Thursday, August 4th.
