Luca Lorenzo Bonatti
of the cognitive science group at the CNRS/Ecole Pratique in
Paris is giving an intsensive seminar as part of our Cognitive
Doctoral program.
TOPIC: New Models of Human Reasoning
Time: from 13th to 23rd of September.
Daily seminars from 10 to 12 at Izabell 46 Room 316. room of Csaba
Pleh.
Luca will be `stationed` in Izabella street.
Please post this note.
For cognitive psychology majors the class is a must.
Tentative listing:
THE PSYCHOLOGY OF REASONING
1. Introduction.
2. Options for a theory of reasoning: structural and non
structural approaches. (Core references: Rips 1990; McGinn 1989;
Rumelhart 1989;Bechtel & Abrahansen 1992, ch. on reasoning)
3. Theories of propositional reasoning. A. Mental logic: the work
of Rips and Braine (Core references: Rips 1994, ch. 4 and 5;

1992; 1994);Bauer & Johnson-Laird 1993)
5. Theories of propositional reasoning. C. A connectionist model:
SHRUTI. Conclusion on propositional reasoning: pure and impure
representations. (Core references: Shastri & Ajjanagadde 1994,
and related discussion).
6. Figural effects and syllogistic reasoning (Core references:
Johnson-Laird & Bara 1984; Ford 1995; Rips 1994; Newstead 1993)

effect (Core references: Oakill & Johnson-Laird 1985; Newstead,
Pollard, Evans, & Allen,1992; Evans, Barston & Pollard 1983;
Newstead & Evans 1992; Byrne 1989; 1991)

9. Between deductive reasoning and task-specific reasoning: the
case of spatial reasoning. (Core references: Franklin & Tversky
1990; Taylor & Tversky 1992; Bryant, Tversky& Lanca, MS )

This is a last minute call for participation for the Oxford
Summer School on Connectionist Modelling. (This is extremely
short notice. Apologies) Full details are given below.
There are only 3 places left for this year's Summer School.
The Summer School is a 2-week residential summer school which
provides an introduction to connectionist modelling.
Please pass on this information to people you may know who
would be interested.
The inital call for participation follows, and further
information is available via the World Wide Web at the
following URL:
http://cogsci1.psych.ox.ac.uk/summer-school/
(Please ignore the closing date in the initial call for
participation. If you know of people who might wish to attend
then they could contact Sue King via email or phone -- details
below).
Here is the initial call for participation:
Oxford Summer School on Connectionist Modelling
Department of Experimental Psychology,
University of Oxford
10-22 September 1995
Applications are invited for participation in a 2-week
residential Summer School on techniques in connectionist
modelling of cognitive and biological phenomena. The
course is aimed primarily at researchers who wish to
exploit neural network models in their teaching and/or
research. It will provide a general introduction to
connectionist modelling through lectures and exercises on
Power PCs. The instructors with primary responsibility for
teaching the course are Kim Plunkett and Edmund Rolls.
No prior knowledge of computational modelling will be
required though simple word processing skills will be
assumed. Participants will be encouraged to start work on
their own modelling projects during the Summer School.
The cost of participation in the Summer School is u500 to
include accommodation (bed and breakfast at St. John's
College) and registration. Participants will be expected
to cover their own travel and meal costs. A small number
of graduate student scholarships may be available.
Applicants should indicate whether they wish to be
considered for a graduate student scholarship but are
advised to seek their own funding as well, since in
previous years the number of graduate student applications
has far exceeded the number of scholarships available.
If you are interested in participating in the Summer School,
please contact:
Mrs Sue King
Department of Experimental Psychology
South Parks Road
University of Oxford
Oxford OX1 3UD
Tel: +44 (1865) 271 353
Email: sking(a)psy.ox.ac.uk
Please send a brief description of your background with an
explanation of why you would like to attend the Summer
School (one page maximum) no later than 31st January 1995.
