Meeting Description:

The Graduate Center of the City University of New York, with the generous support of the National Science Foundation, is pleased to announce a two-day workshop on bilingualism and executive function.  The workshop's 5 panels will feature two invited speakers and a discussant.  The participants' areas include cognitive psychology, linguistics, aging, and neuropsychology, bringing an interdisciplinary perspective to the question of how bilingualism is related to executive function.

The Workshop will immediately precede the International Symposium on Bilingualism-10 at Rutgers University (ISB-10, 20-24 May 2015).

Call for Papers:

To facilitate and inspire the interdisciplinary exchange of ideas among researchers and students from different backgrounds, and to promote collaborative research projects in the future, we invite researchers in all areas of cognitive science and related fields to submit abstracts for a poster session (18 May) on bilingualism and executive function.

Abstract submission deadline: Sunday, 05 April 2015
