Proceedings of the Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society

The proliferation of web-connected devices has presentedsignificant opportunities and challenges to cognitive sci-ence — opportunities in that cognitive scientists can collectdata relevant to human cognition orders of magnitude fasterthan before, addressing questions that were otherwise impos-sible to address; and challenges in that cognitive scientistsrequire new infrastructure to collect these data and new meth-ods to analyze them once collected.This workshop brings together cognitive scientists who areat the forefront of these opportunities and challenges in scal-ing cognitive science, along with cognitive scientists whowould like to be, to engage in a day of interactive exchangeand development of ideas related to scaling cognitive science.The workshop is a full day. Each presentation addresses adifferent opportunity or challenge. One set of presentationshighlights opportunities. A second set highlights challengesof statistical analysis and data collection. In a break-out ses-sion, attendees address these opportunities and challengeshead on.
