 Please begin with the following elements: 
TITLE 

An abstract must have a short, specific title (containing no abbreviations) that indicates the nature of the investigation.

Author Names, University Affiliations - No titles (Dr., Mr., Ms., etc.) should be used, nor should rank be indicated. 

Author Name(s): The submitting author is designated as the primary/presenting author. You may rearrange the order of the authors; however, always list the senior author last.

Additions or deletions of author names are not permitted after the submission deadline. NO EXCEPTIONS.

All authors’ names should be carefully reviewed for accuracy. If the abstract is accepted and eventually published, changes cannot be made after publication.

Abstracts may have the following identifiable sections: Introduction, Objectives, Methods, Results and Conclusions. These fields can be edited or deleted as appropriate for your abstract.

Describe briefly the objectives of the study unless they are contained in the title. Include a brief statement of methods if pertinent. State findings in detail sufficient to support conclusions.

Abstract assessment

Abstracts are reviewed based on the general guidelines of preparing abstracts, subject relevancy, and the criteria stated above. Each abstract is assigned to two anonymous reviewers. In case reviewers require further information about the submission, you will be asked for further information. Declining to submit the requested information within the specified deadline would result in the rejection of the submission.

Reviewers will take into account the following criteria: 

Is the question or issue clearly stated?

Is the significance of the work clearly mentioned? Is relevant previous work appropriately cited?

If relevant, are the method, data collection, and analysis procedures well-designed and appropriately applied?

Is the conceptual framework coherent? If relevant, is the theoretical analysis well-argued?

Is the work original? Does it present new data (if relevant)?

Is the work completed, or does it show very strong promise of being completed in time for the conference?

Are the conclusions justified in relation to the data and/or analyses?

Is the abstract written clearly and organized well?

Is the topic of scientific, methodological or theoretical importance?

 Is the abstract timely in terms of current issues of interest to the field of Cognitive Science?
