<b>=== Motivation and Goals ===</b><br>
<br>
Humans are arguably the most adaptable species on Earth, not because we are exceptionally skilled at anything but because we are incredibly good at learning new skills. We don't have a perfect model of the world around us, but we can constantly update our partial
view of it. We can't read other people's minds, but we can get to know them and make assumptions about their intentions. We, as researchers, can make models of the inner workings of the human brain, describe its functional components, and replicate specific
behaviors in controlled environments. But if we want to move those models into the real, human, world, we need to gift those models with the same adaptability we possess. We believe that to achieve such a monumental goal, we cannot be satisfied with building
"static" systems but should instead create dynamic architectures that grow and learn, inspired by what infants do every day.<br>

<b>=== Call for Contributions ===</b><br>
<br>
In pursuit of fostering insightful conversation on the topic of learning, particularly at the intersection of Cognitive Architectures and Developmental AI, we invite participants to submit their contributions. Submissions may be an extended abstract (2 to 4
pages) or a short position paper (1 page). </div>
<div style="direction: ltr; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont; font-size: 12pt; color: black;">
<br>
Beyond submitting papers presenting state-of-the-art research, we invite authors to share works in progress, reports featuring preliminary results, and critical reflections and position papers. This inclusive approach allows for exploring and identifying pertinent
and novel discussion points that authors may wish to address during the ensuing panel discussions. <br>
<br>
Submissions should be sent in a PDF format to <a href="https://forms.gle/Gbd7XaXD9EzDsRpL7" target="_blank" id="OWA4988d475-74cf-330d-f4c8-3305e89e052c" class="OWAAutoLink" rel="noopener noreferrer" data-auth="NotApplicable" data-loopstyle="linkonly" data-linkindex="1" data-ogsc="">
