Space, language, and numbers play an essential role in our information society. Research in Psychology, Cognitive Science, and Linguistics investigates how humans perceive, process, and mentally represent them. However, the relation between space, language, and numbers is still unclear and often only looked at from the perspective of one discipline.

In this workshop, both PhD students and established researchers from Psychology, Cognitive Science, and Linguistics are invited to foster their knowledge about the three domains and to shed light on the relation between them. In addition, different methodologies and experimental paradigms will be introduced, and networking opportunities will be offered. We welcome you to attend keynote talks, interactive methodological talks with Q&A, a podium discussion, a meet-the-expert-session, a poster session, and a social networking event in Tübingen! In particular, we invite you to present your own research about space, language, numbers, and relations between them on a poster.

Poster sessions:

Participants have the opportunity to present their own research, either in a preregistration poster or in a traditional poster. A preregistration poster offers the opportunity to get feedback before data collection, while a traditional poster presents a study that has already been conducted, including the discussion of the main results. The deadline for the abstract submission was January 28th, and acceptance notifications have been sent before February 18th.

The posters should have a vertical (not horizontal) layout with a size of DIN A0 (which is 33.1 * 46.8 inches, or 841 * 1189 millimeters) or in a similar range. Posters should contain the following information:

1. Preregistration poster: Introduction (background, research questions, hypotheses), planned method (subjects, procedure, material) and approach for statistical analysis

2. Traditional poster: Introduction (background, research questions, hypotheses), method (subjects, procedure, material), applied statistical analysis, results, discussion and conclusions
