Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to an international workshop on individual differences in Pavlovian conditioned approach: Sign- and goal-tracking: Human data, computational models, and rodent foundations Potsdam, Germany (near Berlin) – Friday 20 November (15:00) to Sunday 22 November 2026 (14:30) https://danielschad.github.io/workshopSTGT.html Research on sign- and goal-tracking has developed rapidly in several partly overlapping areas: rodent work on the neural and neurochemical mechanisms, computational accounts of why identical cue–reward contingencies produce different conditioned responses across individuals, and a growing body of human research using eye-tracking, physical approach tasks, and neural responses to cues and rewards. Researchers from these areas rarely meet in the same room. The aim of the workshop is to compare the approaches side by side – lever autoshaping, gaze-based and neural measures, physical approach tasks, and formal models – and to discuss not only findings but also the practical and methodological details of how the work is done. Speakers and contributors include Patrick Anselme, François Cinotti, Shelly Flagel (online), Sara Garofalo, Michelle Heck, Robert Honey, Jonathan Morrow, Cristina Orsini, Martin Paulus, Terry Robinson (online), Nicola Sambuco, Benjamin Saunders (online), Francesco Versace, and Reinout Wiers (online). Ralf Engbert and Daniel J. Schad facilitate the workshop. How to take part Online: Participation via Zoom is open to everyone. Email us at stgtworkshop.potsdam@gmail.com and we will send you the programme and the access details. On site: A small number of places remain in Potsdam (participation fee €70, covering some food and drinks). If you would like to attend in person, please write to us as soon as possible – on-site places are limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Posters: A poster session open to researchers at all career stages runs alongside the workshop. If you are attending on site and would like to present, please include a title and a short abstract in your email. Please feel free to forward this invitation to colleagues and students who may be interested. With best wishes, Daniel Schad Prof. Dr. Daniel J.
