Cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence have provided valuable insights into the scope and limitations of understanding human thought and behavior. Advances in computer technology and tools are becoming more of a fixture in everyday life, and increasingly affecting how we think about artificial intelligence and cognition. This special track is motivated by these two fronts of research. First, we extend cognitive studies to include the social psychology of people's everyday life with technology, comparing human cognition and experience with today's computer models, and second, on this basis we seek appropriate applications using computer technology, and seek to improve computer models of cognition and AI programs. This approach might yield many new ideas for creating technology and tools that amplify the ability of people to think and work together (such as new approaches for building robots in real-world domains), as well as new psychological and social theories.

Cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence have provided valuable insights into the scope and limitations of human thought and behavior. As technology becomes more of a fixture in our daily routines, advances in artificial intelligence increasingly impact how we think and interact with others. This track is motivated by these two fronts of research: the basic theoretical integration of cognition and artificial intelligence; and its application to real-world domains. As such, the track will cover a wide range of issues. We welcomed submissions in any area where cognition and computers are mutually explored, but especially encouraged work in how humans and computers communicate or how artificial intelligence facilitates communication.
