[Inline image 2] Dear Colleagues, The Cognitive Development Center at CEU is pleased to announce the eighth annual BCCCD meeting in Budapest, Hungary (BCCCD18, January 4-6, 2018). Undeterred by the recent steps undertaken by the Hungarian government against our university, we would like to reassure all prospective participants that the conference will definitely take place under all circumstances (more here<https://www.ceu.edu/category/istandwithceu>eu>, #IstandwithCEU). We welcome submissions from all areas related to cognitive development. Previous BCCCD meetings featured a variety of topics such as comparative cognition, cognitive bases of culture, biological bases of cognition, conceptual learning, perceptual learning, early social cognition, language acquisition, executive functions, metacognition, communication, numeracy, and object cognition.
