Emory Cognition Project

The Emory Cognition Project provides a forum for theoretical and empirical investigations of major topics in the field. Approximately every other year, the Project hosts a small conference, inviting leading researchers to come to Emory to discuss a specific set of issues from a variety of theoretical and disciplinary viewpoints. The proceedings of many of these conferences have been published as edited volumes in our ongoing book series, the Emory Symposia in Cognition and Development. The Cognition Project also maintains the Cognition Library in the Psychology Department.
