>This announcement is new as of 5/8/93. Please store it for reference.
>
>SUBJECT
>
>This list is an informal way to discuss phenomena at the interface of
>cognitive science and neuroscience. The discussion is scientific and
>academic. Topics include:
>
> o biological aspects of behavior; high level issues in neuroscience;
> o neuropsych issues in ethology, ecology, genetics, pharmacology;
> o imaging, simulation, innovative use of computers for cogneuro;
> o books, papers, paradigms, research directions, new results.
> o curricula, graduate programs, jobs, funding.
>
>Very important:
>
> o The list is self-moderating. Please read GUIDELINES below.
>
> o Please read HOW TO USE THIS LIST, below, BEFORE you subscribe or
> forward the list's address to a colleague.
>
>GUIDELINES
>
>The language of the list is English.
>
>The list is meant to be low in volume and high in S/N ratio.
>
>Controversy and informal speculation are as welcome as orthodoxy and
>rigor. Because cogneuro is a huge field, submissions shouldn't be
>off-topic or otherwise not essentially scientific or academic. Since
>the emphasis is scientific and academic, participants are expected to
>be both tolerant of other participants' opinions and choice of words
>and respectful in advance of their sensitivities.
>
>The list is initially open to anybody who is interested, but might be
>closed or restricted soon to keep the quality up. Although I don't
>expect ever to need to exercise it, I reserve the right to remove
>anybody from the list if there are problems, especially if these
>directions are not absorbed. I want to keep a spirit of free exchange
>of cognitive neuroscience.
>
>The premise upon which the list is founded is that no editor, censor,
>dictator, alpha male figure, or committee is likely to do as good a
>job in this context as your desire and that of your colleagues to
>MAINTAIN A REPUTATION FOR QUALITY. It is an exercise in
>SELF-MODERATION, and a potential model for future scientific
>collaboration on the net. It requires more from you, but I believe
>that it has the potential to bear fruit that will make it well worth
>while.
>
>I hope you join; please feel free to ask me any questions.
>
>HOW TO USE THIS LIST
>
>Would you like to avoid these common mailing list problems?
>
> o Sending a trivial administrative message to 500 of your
> colleagues, all over the world, in an age when the computer
> never forgets?
>
> o Being subscribed or unsubscribed unintentionally?
>
> o Experiencing anxiety over acknowledgements?
>
>Don't worry, avoiding mortification and inconvenience is EASY AS PIE.
>Just follow these directions EXACTLY! A word to the wise: the
>excruciating detail of this announcement is due to each of the above
>mistakes actually having occurred. With luck, this will prevent them.
>
>Note: THIS IS NOT LISTSERV. There are many types of mailing lists,
>only a few of which are Listserv. Listserv does not run under UNIX,
>to my knowledge, so its commands will not work.
>
>To UNSUBSCRIBE, send mail like this.
>
> To: cogneuro-request(a)ptolemy.arc.nasa.gov
> Subject: cogneuro: unsubscribe
>
>To SUBSCRIBE, send mail like this.
>
> To: cogneuro-request(a)ptolemy.arc.nasa.gov
> Subject: cogneuro: I read and understood the instructions
>
>In the body of your message, please write the DATE of this
>announcement (see above) and any information about yourself that you'd
>like me to know. You must have a FULL REAL NAME in the From: header,
>as well as an address.
>
>THERE WILL BE NO AUTOMATIC CONFIRMATION OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but you
>might get a note from me welcoming you if I am not swamped with
>requests. There should be a delay of a day or two for all requests,
>since the mechanism is only semi-automatic and I am not on-line
>continuously. There is a human being on the other end of the line.
>(A live, breathing, real, emotion-feeling, existing, remembering human
>being, not a regression of computer homunculi. Please remember this.)
>
>You can usually add a "return-receipt-to: (your address)" header just
>above the subject header if your mailer allows you to. That will tell
>you that ptolemy received your mail, but it will not assure you that
>you are actually on or off the list. There is as yet no mechanism to
>assure this, but no subscriber who has followed the directions has had
>any difficulties. If you aren't sure, mail the administrator as
>below.
>
>To CHANGE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS, or if you know that your MACHINE WILL GO
>DOWN for a while, or in case you LEAVE THE NET, say, for the summer,
>simply unsubscribe from your old address and resubscribe when you
>return to the net. If you want to be sure, you can put a note to the
>effect that that is what you are doing in the subject line after the
>"subscribe". If you REALLY want to be sure, wait a day or two before
>resubscribing, to let the unsubscribe take effect first. While you
>can SOMETIMES get away with not doing this (because the software can
>sometimes guess who you are), it risks a great deal of work on my part
>and anxiety on yours. (Note: the list has to have a constant full
>real name if you change your address, or the same address if you
>change your name. Otherwise, how can it possibly tell that you are
>the same person as the previous requester? Answer: it can't read
>minds.)
>
>To POST (send a message to everybody on the list), send mail to
>cogneuro(a)ptolemy.arc.nasa.gov, or followup to an existing message.
>
>e.g.
>
> To: cogneuro(a)ptolemy.arc.nasa.gov
> Subject: corpus callosum
>
>To REPLY to the poster, just use the reply command of your mail reader
>as with any other message. Do be sure that the "cogneuro" addresses
>are not in the headers if you don't want your reply posted.
>
>To ask a METAQUESTION (a question or comment about the list), or if
>you have any PROBLEMS, send mail to the ADMINISTRATOR at
>cogneuro-request(a)ptolemy.arc.nasa.gov. Do not under any circumstances
>inconvenience the entire list with a problem. They will remember you!
>SUGGESTIONS for improving this announcement or the list are very
>welcome. This announcement is intended to balance giving you concise
>information with making sure that common errors don't occur.
>
>If YOUR MACHINE GOES DOWN for a long time, or for some other reason
>mail to you bounces, I might remove you from the list. It's nothing
>personal at all; it's just that I receive bounces for EVERY post to
>the list, and have to correct each one manually. If you are concerned
>that this might have happened, you can resubscribe without fear of
>double subscription. That is because my software, for all its
>shortcomings, does know who you are (by your full real name or your
>address, assuming you have not changed them -- see above) and usually
>won't think you're two people. If you get MULTIPLE MESSAGES, it might
>be because somebody is also gatewaying cogneuro to another, perhaps
>local, list that you are on. In that case, you can unsubscribe from
>either of the lists. If you're not sure, just contact me.
>
>Whatever you do, if you have a REQUEST, contact your friendly, unpaid
>administrator, me, at cogneuro-request. You must NOT mail it to the
>entire list, no matter what. It will not help in any way, and your
>request might be delayed. (If you are not already convinced, that
>this perhaps knowing that 500 of your reviewers and grant sources will
>be inconvenienced will work. It GALLS me to have to say this type of
>thing, for I believe in the community and the desire of most people to
>do the right thing, so I apologize. But it is NECESSARY to mention.)
>
>More things necessary to mention: Unless otherwise noted, SUBMISSIONS
>may be FORWARDED by list members to other interested people as long as
>the author and the list are attributed and quoted correctly. I
>generally try to protect subscribers' privacy, but PRIVACY CANNOT BE
>GUARANTEED. Any IDENTITY you use must be consistent for as long as
>you are subscribed. Only subscribers may post. Any and all illegal
>activity is obviously your responsibility as a poster to prevent. The
>list is global.
>
>You will usually not receive BOUNCES from posts to the list unless
>they are due to problems getting from you to ptolemy. Bounces
>normally go to me; I usually fix them manually by removing the
>offending addresses. If you do get a bounce, it is usually something
>weird at another site. If you know how to debug it, I will appreciate
>your effort, as I am not an expert in mail transport. If not, don't
>worry too much about it, but if you haven't received the bounce
>before, please send an explanation, the full set of headers for the
>message you received, and the bounce, to "cogneuro-request" so that I
>can try to debug it when I have time. (Examples of this type of
>bounce are a gateway that is subscribed to the list under a user's
>name, a user who has a bad forwarding address and a nonstandard
>forwarding agent, etc. There is no way for any mailing list to
>prevent them from happening in advance.)
>
>Rarely, two different people with the same full real name (like two
>people named "John Q. Doe") get only one entry, so that only one is
>subscribed.
>
>To date, there have been no bugs in the software. That does not mean
>that there are not any. As I want to fix any bugs quickly, you must
>send me all headers and tell me what your symptoms were. (I can't
>read minds yet, so I can't tell that there is a problem unless you
>tell me, at the cogneuro-request address.)
>
>The list ARCHIVES are maintained manually or semi-automatically by
>Phil A. Hetherington <het(a)blaise.psych.mcgill.ca>. Please arrange any
>archive requests with him. He is also a volunteer, so please take it
>easy on him.
>
>Things to remember (these hold true for almost all mailing lists):
>
> o Sending to "cogneuro" posts to the whole list.
> o Sending to "cogneuro-request" sends to me qua administrator.
> o Following up is for generally interesting posts.
> o Replying is for courtesy notes such as thank-yous.
> o Admin notes must only be sent to "cogneuro-request".
> o At your discretion, an archiving protocol such as ftp can be
> useful for distributing especially large files, files that

*****************end forwarded message*****************
THE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG
Lectureship in Psychology.
Applications are invited for the position of Lecturer (British
system: equivalent to an Assistant Professor in N. America) in
the Department of Psychology in the area of cognitive science.
The filling of post is subject to the availability of funds, but
it is hoped that an appointment will be made early in
1994, for a fixed term of 2 to 3 years, which would be
expected to be renewed at the end of this first contract.
Applicants for this post should ideally possess a Ph.D.
degree and have research, teaching and practical experience in
cognitive science. Teaching at the undergraduate and
postgraduate levels would be required.
There is currently little teaching of cognitive science
at the University of Hong Kong, and the appointee would
be expected to fill this gap, as well as do research in
this area. It is anticipated that a new degree or
postgraduate degree course in Cogntive Science will
soon be offered by the University, and the Department
of Psychology will take on a significant teaching role.
Other departments that are likely to be involved
include Computer Science, Philosophy and Education.
The annual salary (non-superannuable, but attracting a
15% (taxable) terminal gratuity) is on an 11-point scale:
HK$377,220 - HK$630,180 (approx. Sterling L32,800 - L54,800;
US$48,500 - US$80,800 at December, 1993 exchange rates).
Starting salary will depend on qualifications and experience.
At current rates, salaries tax in Hong Kong will not exceed 15%
of gross income. Children's education allowances in Hong Kong
and abroad, leave, and medical/dental benefits are provided;
housing or tenancy allowances are also provided in most cases at
a charge of 7.5% of salary.
Further particulars and application forms may be
obtained from the Appointments Unit, Registry, The
University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong (fax (852) 5592058;
email APPTUNIT(a)HKUVM1.HKU.HK). Closes February 15,
1994 (extended deadline from earlier advert).
Further particulars
-------------------
Facilities at the University of Hong Kong are very good, with all
lecturers provided with a PC connected via LANs to the
Departmental servers, the University's mainframes (Vax 6420,
IBM9375, IBM4361, DECSystem 5500s, SUN SPARCserver 670), and the
universities' and polytechnics' DECmpp 12000 supercomputer.
There is access, via the LANs, to the Internet, and to computers
and networks abroad. There is external access to this network.
The University of Hong Kong has expanded rapidly over the last
few years, with a current student quota of 8500 undergraduates
and 2500 postgraduates (of which about 1000 are research
postgraduates). Resourcing and facilities for research can be
excellent. The Department of Psychology has several purpose-
built laboratories, for research in psychophysiology, perception,
experimental psychology, and developmental psychology amongst
others.
The standards of the undergraduate students are high, the
University being able to select only those in the top
percentiles. The programmes themselves are of an international
standard, and are vetted by external examiners usually from
abroad, while many courses and programmes are internationally
accredited.
Hong Kong itself is an exciting and vibrant city, being at the
heart of an area which is economically forging ahead of the rest
of the world.
Informal queries can be sent to Dr. John A. Spinks,
Department of Psychology, at: spinks(a)hkucc.bitnet

TOWARD A THEORY OF HUMAN MEMORY:
DATA STRUCTURES AND ACCESS PROCESSES

KEYWORDS: amnesia, binding, context, data structure, lexical
decision, memory access, perceptual identification, recall,
recognition, representation.
ABSTRACT: A theory of the data structures and access processes of
human memory is proposed and demonstrated on 10 tasks. The two
starting points are Marr's (1982) ideas about the levels at which
we can understand an information processing device and the standard
laboratory paradigms which demonstrate the power and complexity of
human memory. The theory suggests how to capture the functional
characteristics of human memory (e.g., analogies, reasoning, etc.)
without having to be concerned with implementational details. Ours
is not a performance theory. We specify what is computed by the
memory system with a multidimensional task classification which
encompasses existing classifications (e.g., the distinction between
implicit and explicit, data driven and conceptually driven, and
simple associative (2-way bindings) and higher order tasks (3-way
bindings). This provides a broad basis for new experimentation.
Our formal language clarifies the binding problem in episodic
memory, the role of input pathways in both episodic and semantic
(lexical) memory, the importance of the input set in episodic
memory, and the ubiquitous calculation of an intersection in
theories of episodic and lexical access.
