Call for Symposia
for the 49th Annual Meeting
of the Psychonomic Society

May 1, 2008 is the deadline for any member to propose an invited symposium by providing the following information. The proposal should highlight new emerging ideas that are likely to have broad influence in shaping future research, especially ideas from related disciplines.

It should include: a title for the symposium, a 150-word abstract, the names of the participants, and the titles of their presentations. Participants should have agreed to participate prior to proposal submission. Note that participating in a symposium does not preclude submission of an abstract for a talk or poster. In preparing a proposal, the organizer may decide the format (e.g., discussants can be scheduled, question periods can be extended, etc.), but the symposium should not be longer than two hours and ten minutes.

Submission of the proposal may be made to Suparna Rajaram (srajaram@notes.cc.sunysb.edu), with copy to Laura Carlson (lcarlson@nd.edu). Questions about procedures should be addressed to Laura Carlson. Notification will be made within two weeks of the proposal deadline. Upon acceptance of a symposium, participants should provide an abstract form to the organizer, who will then submit the set of abstracts to the publications office under the deadline for normal abstract submissions.

To increase diversity among symposium organizers, the Governing Board encourages proposals from women and members of underrepresented groups.
