Meeting Description:

The 4th Attentive Listener in the Visual World (AttLis) workshop will be held
in Goa (India) on 3-4 March, 2017.

The workshop’s theme is multi-modal cognition with an emphasis on the
interaction between language and vision. More specifically, there is a central
focus on how attentional and visual processes interact with spoken and written
language processing. Why are attention and vision crucial to language
comprehension? Prominent approaches to language-vision interactions have
focused so far on whether language processing is like sensory processing (the
'embodied cognition approach') or whether cross-linguistic differences lead to
permanent restructuring of cognition and perception (the 'linguistic
relativity approach'). We know, however surprisingly little about the nature,
representations, and mechanisms of every-day language-vision interactions such
as when language guides our attention around the visual world. Core themes of
the workshop are the (non)-intentionality of language-vision interactions, the
nature of competition, selective processing, learning and development which
suggest that the investigation of language-vision interactions by means of
methods such as eye-tracking offers a window into the mechanisms of how high
level representations involved in language and memory interact with visual
input. The workshop seeks to encourage discussions which advance the field in
important ways and lead to close collaborations between the participating
researchers.

Call for Papers:

The 4th Attentive Listener in the Visual World (AttLis) workshop will be held
in Goa (India) on 3-4 March, 2017.

We invite submissions of posters relating to one (or more) of the following
questions:

- What kind of visual and linguistic information is considered by listeners
and speakers to guide their visual attention and what is the time course of
their integration?
- How do different sources of information interact?
- What role do individual differences (i.e. memory capacity, linguistic or
visual skills, age, selective impairments) play in integrating visual and
spoken information?
- In what way do different contexts and instructions affect visual attention
during listening and speaking?
- What are the developmental trajectories for integrating visual and spoken
information?
- What is the relation between perceptual cues and mental representations?
- What are the limitations of the ''visual world'' with respect to conclusions
regarding the real world?

Key Dates:

Poster submission deadline: 20 December 2016
