Supplemental information
There is currently a great need but limited supply of high quality research at the intersection of the cognitive science and education research communities. Many research areas and traditions within cognitive science offer great promise for informing education practice, yet capacity needs to be built by encouraging researchers to direct their interests and methodological skills toward research questions in this important area. In order to stimulate research programs at this important intersection, and build interest in future research in this area, the Cognitive Science Society will present an annual award for the best paper on the topic of cognition and student learning presented at the annual meeting. These prizes are intended to encourage more effort toward understanding the processes that underlie effective real-world learning, and are intended to lead to stronger research in this area.
