Spatial Cognition is concerned with the acquisition, development, representation, organization, and use of knowledge about spatial objects in real, virtual or hybrid environments and processed by human or artificial agents. Spatial Cognition includes research from fields such as cognitive and developmental psychology, linguistics, computer science, geography, cartography, philosophy, neuroscience, and education.
SC2024 is supported by SellSTEM whose research theme is spatial ability in STEM learning. Therefore, submissions are also welcome that explore issues such as the role of spatial ability in STEM learning across all age groups, spatial ability development separate to or integrated with STEM, professional development for teachers to enhance spatial ability development in formal and informal learning environments and curriculum design and policy to promote spatial ability development.
The conference is single-track, and the final program will be the result of a selective review process. The program will include oral and poster presentations of refereed papers, symposia and keynote talks.
Submission Guidelines
All papers must be original and not simultaneously submitted to another journal or conference. The following paper categories are welcome:
- Full papers
- Posters
- Oral presentation abstracts
- Workshops
- Symposia
- Submissions for Poster Presentations (abstracts). Poster abstracts should not exceed 500 words (including figures, tables, and references).
- Submissions for Symposia or Workshops. To organize a symposium, please send a 500-word overview, and then follow the rules for extended abstracts. To organize a workshop, please submit a proposal not to exceed 1200 words.
- Submissions for Oral Presentations presenting original and unpublished work are solicited in all areas of spatial cognition. Authors may choose to submit in either one of two ways.
- Extended abstracts not aimed at book publication should not exceed 1,200 words (including figures, tables, and references).
- Papers submitted for inclusion in a book published by Springer Link in the LNCS series (https://www.springer.com/series/558). Two types of paper are possible: a short paper of 6 to 11 pages or a full paper of 12 to 15 pages (400 words per page approx). Full papers are preferred. Both will be subject to a single peer-review process. Authors should consult Springer's Instructions for Authors of Proceedings (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines) and use either the LaTeX or the Word templates provided on the authors' page for the preparation of their papers. Information on the License to Publish Agreement can also be found on the author's page.
All submissions must be written in English, formatted according to APA standards.
All submissions (papers and abstracts) will be reviewed by the Program Committee. Accepted submissions must be presented at the conference (at least one author of each submission must register by 25 May 2024 or the presentation/poster will be dropped from the program).
Proceedings will be indexed in WoS and SCOPUS.
