DESCRIPTION:<p>Deadline for submissions: 1 March 2018</p>\n<p>Conference website: https://modelsofthemind.wordpress.com/</p>\n<p>Followed by: Mind Network Meeting in Edinburgh\, 20 April 2018 (http://www.mindcogsci.net/)</p>\n<p><strong>Conference theme</strong></p>\n<p>The Models of the Mind postgraduate conference focuses on reasoning about oneself and reasoning about other minds. We are interested in how the mind uses models to achieve this and how philosophers and cognitive scientists can use models to explain these abilities. Example topics include\, but are not limited to\, the following:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dynamic versus static models of the self and other people&rsquo\;s minds (e.g. belief revision about oneself and other people&rsquo\;s mental states)\;</li>\n<li>The structure of the self-model and the nature of the target of its representations\;</li>\n<li>The relationship between model-based accounts of the mind and representational accounts\;</li>\n<li>The development of ability to reason about oneself and about other minds in childhood (e.g. the ability to establish a sense of identity and to infer others&rsquo\; mental states)\;</li>\n<li>The role of one&rsquo\;s self-model and models of other selves in individual and joint action planning and collaboration\;</li>\n<li>The sharing of mental states and the role of (linguistic) communication.</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Submission instructions</strong></p>\n<p>We invite submissions of papers of up to 3000 words formatted for anonymous review. Presentations will be 25 minutes with 35 minutes for discussion (including a 5 minute commentary). Please send your paper to julian.hauser@ed.ac.uk with the subject line &ldquo\;Models of the Mind&rdquo\; and indicating your name and affiliation in the email. The deadline for submissions is 1 March 2018. We especially encourage members of underrepresented groups to apply. Accepted speakers will benefit from a travel bursary\, and will be hosted by local postgraduate students.</p>\n<p>We aim to communicate decisions of acceptance by 15 March 2018.</p>\n<p><strong>Organisers</strong></p>\n<p>Nicola\, Damassino\, Julian Hauser\, and Nina Poth (PhD students in Philosophy\, University of Edinburgh)\, Dr Mark Sprevak (Senior Lecturer in Philosophy\, University of Edinburgh).</p>\n<p><strong>Sponsors</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong></strong>Scots Philosophical Association</li>\n<li>University of Edinburgh</li>\n</ul>
