The primary purpose of this workshop is to create a broad research summary and planning report on the topic of visual cognition to guide research in the interdisciplinary field. Visual cognition integrates visual perception with higher level domain knowledge, and serves as the interface to high-level reasoning, planning, communication, learning, and other cognitive abilities. Many diverse, practical areas, such as automated manufacturing and robotics, mechanical design, transportation planning, education, and the representation and storage of spatial information stand to benefit from research in visual cognition. A fuller understanding of higher-level cognitive processes and their development may hinge on an understanding of their relation to perception. There is already a body of relevant work in computer science on these issues, categorized variously as diagrammatic reasoning, qualitative physical reasoning, geometric reasoning, and the formal logic of spatial reasoning, and there have been other meetings on visual cognition. But the field is of necessity strongly interdisciplinary (the three workshop organizers come from psychology, computer science, and electrical engineering, for example), so this meeting will attempt to be more comprehensive and integrative in nature, in order to accomplish its stated purpose.

本次研讨会的主要目的是创建一个广泛的研究总结和规划报告的主题视觉认知，以指导跨学科领域的研究。视觉认知将视觉感知与更高层次的领域知识相结合，并作为高级推理，规划，沟通，学习和其他认知能力的接口。 许多不同的，实用的领域，如自动化制造和机器人，机械设计，交通规划，教育，以及空间信息的表示和存储站受益于视觉认知的研究。 更全面地理解更高层次的认知过程及其发展可能取决于对它们与感知的关系的理解。 在计算机科学中，已经有一系列关于这些问题的相关工作，分为图形推理、定性物理推理、几何推理和空间推理的形式逻辑，还有其他关于视觉认知的会议。但该领域必然是跨学科的（例如，三个研讨会组织者来自心理学，计算机科学和电气工程），因此本次会议将试图在本质上更加全面和综合，以实现其既定目标。
