KEYWORDS: working memory, syntactic processing, sentence
comprehension
ABSTRACT: This target article discusses the verbal working memory
system used in sentence comprehension. We review the idea of
working memory as a short duration system in which small amounts of
information are simultaneously stored and manipulated in the
service of a task and that syntactic processing in sentence
comprehension requires such a storage and computational system. We
inquire whether the working memory system used in syntactic
processing is the same as that used in verbally mediated tasks
involving conscious, controlled processing. Various forms of
evidence are considered: the relationship between individual
differences in working memory and individual differences in the
efficiency of syntactic processing; the effect of concurrent verbal
memory load on syntactic processing; and syntactic processing in
patients with poor short term memory, poor working memory, or
aphasia. The experimental results suggest that the verbal working
memory system specialized for assigning the syntactic structure of
a sentence and for using that structure in determining sentence
meaning is distinct from the working memory system that underlies
the use of sentence meaning to accomplish further functions. We
present a theory of the components of the verbal working memory
system and suggestions as to its neural basis.

Workshop
Advances in Analogy Research:
Integration of Theory and Data from the Cognitive, Computational, and
Neural Sciences
Sofia, July 17-20, 1998
Aims:
This workshop is intended to stimulate the researchers in the field of
analogy to cooperate more intensively and to integrate various approaches
and data in their study. Its aim is to advance our understanding of the
cognitive mechanisms of analogy-making, i.e. how people notice/perceive
analogies, how they retrieve analogs from memory or how they construct
them, how they map and transfer knowledge from one domain to another, how
they combine knowledge from multiple analogs or how they combine analogy
with rule-based reasoning, how they generalize and learn from the analogies
made, how they use analogies for problem solving, explanation,
argumentation, creation. What is the place of analogy among the various
cognitive processes, such as perception, thinking, memory, learning, etc.
What is the role of analogy in human development? Which are the brain
structures involved in analogy-making processes? What kind of deficits do
brain-damaged patients exhibit?
This workshop will be highly interdisciplinary and will make a serious
attempt to integrate the knowledge researchers have accumulated on
analogy-making in various domains: Artificial Intelligence/Computational
Modeling, Cognitive Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Neuropsychology,
Philosophy, Cognitive Linguistics, as well as various applications in
Education, Legal and Political Reasoning, etc. A serious attempt will be
made to integrate all the positive results obtained so far in theories of
analogy-making, computational modeling, and experimental work.
The workshop participants will participate in numerous formal and informal
discussions which we hope will lead to systematization of the knowledge in
the field, formulating established facts, open issues, and ideas for new
approaches.
Format of the workshop
The workshop will consist of key talks (45 min) (see the list of key
talks), short papers (20 min), poster presentations, round table thematic
discussions, working group sessions, informal discussions, concluding
discussions on ideas for future work and cooperative projects.
Pre-Proceedings of the workshop (containing all the accepted papers) will
be published in advance and distributed to the participants, so that we can
focus on discussions and joint work at the workshop.
Submission instructions
Paper and poster submissions should be made both electronically (in RTF
format) and in hard copy (A4 or US letter (11" x 8.5") paper format)
following these instructions. Papers should be no more than 8 pages long,
poster abstracts - one page. The text should be formatted in two columns
with an overall width of 14 cm and length of 20 cm, with 0.7 cm between the
columns. Use 10 point Times Roman with 11 point vertical spacing, unless
otherwise specified. The title should be 14 point, bold, centered, 0.5 cm
below the top margin. Authors' names should be in 11 point, bold, and
centered; authors' affiliation, postal address, and e-mail address should
be in ordinary 10 point, centered. First-level headings should be 12 point,
bold, initial caps, and centered. Second-level headings should be 11 point,
initial caps, bold, and flush left. Third-level headings should be 10
point, bold, initial caps, and flush left. Use standard APA citation
format, e.g. (McClelland & Rumelhart, 1981).

Participants and Funding
Participation in the workshop is mainly by invitation to ensure high
quality and balance of representatives of various schools of thought, of
various disciplines, of various countries and continents. The organizers
hope that all these schools and geographic regions will be represented. The
following list of invitees is provisional and open for additions. The
workshop is, however, open to other participants as well, up to the upper
limit of 50 participants.
The organizers are looking for some funding which would allow us to support
some of the participants for their participation in the workshop. However,
as this is still uncertain, we would like to kindly ask the potential
participants to look for their own funding sources and to try to ensure
their participation in advance.
Co-events
The workshop will take place during the 5th International Summer School in
Cognitive Science (July 13-25, 1998) which will offer an opportunity to
have external critics and advisors from well known researchers working in
other areas of cognitive science.
Location
Sofia is an old city first established by the Thracians about 4000BC. There
are still some ruins from the old Roman time city. The National History
Museum holds some fascinating gold treasures from Thracian times. There is
a small church with frescos from the 12th century painted in a realistic
Renaissance style a long time before the Renaissance in Europe started.
Not very far from Sofia is the beautiful Rila monastery as well as some old
towns like Plovdiv (with an old town part and a Roman amphitheater) and
Koprivstitza. You may also want to combine your trip with a holyday at the
Black Sea side.

Subject: Re:Golgi symposium
Reply-To: Marina Bentivoglio <marina1(a)borgoroma.univr.it>
Stemming from the initiative of a cultural association in Camillo Golgi
birth village (Corteno, now Corteno-Golgi, in the province of Brescia,
Italy), a symposium on Golgi's legacy, entitled "Camillo Golgi and the
Neurosciences", already announced at the Soc. Neurosci. in New Orleans, will
be held in Boario Terme, not far from Corteno and near Brescia, on April 17
and 18, 1998, and will include an excursion to Golgi's birth village.
I am helping the local organizers and the Professor of Neurology of the
University of Brescia (Luigi Vignolo) with the organization, and am now able
to update the information given in New Orleans:
The preliminary program includes at the moment the following speakers:
- Paolo Mazzarello (Golgi's biographer, from Pavia) who will talk about
Golgi's life.
- Giorgio Macchi (Catholic University of Rome): Golgi as clinical
neuropathologist
- Pierfranco Spano (University of Brescia): Lombroso and Golgi
- Gunnar Grant (Karolinska Institutet): Retzius and Golgi
- Javier De Felipe (Cajal Institute, Madrid): Cajal and Golgi
- Larry Swanson (University of Southern California, Los Angeles): Golgi
and the structure of the hippocampus
- Marco Celio (University of Fribourg, Switzerland): Golgi and the
perineuronal nets
- Giovanni Berlucchi (University of Verona): The law of dynamic polarization
- Ennio Pannese (University of Milan): The black reaction
- E.G. Jones (University of California at Irvine): Cajal and Golgi and the
birth of the neuron doctrine
- I will speak either about the Golgi apparatus or about the students and
guests of Golgi's laboratory
- I will also contact Prof. A. Calligaro, Director of the Museum of the
History of the University of Pavia
The talks will be in Italian or English with translation into either language.
Posters by all other participants will also be presented.
The registration fee is Lit. 200.000 (approximately 115 USD), which includes
all lunches, a welcome cocktail, two excursions (one of which will be
to Golgi's birth village), a volume and a videocassette on Golgi.
Hotel fares in Boario Terme for meeting participants will be
rather convenient (Lit. 50.000 per person, including one meal).
The nearest international airport is Milan.

encephalography, readiness potential, brain imaging
ABSTRACT: Preparing words in speech production is normally a
fast and accurate process. We generate them two or three per
second in fluent conversation, and overtly naming a clear picture
of an object can easily be initiated within 600 ms after picture
onset. The underlying process, however, is exceedingly complex.
The theory reviewed in this target article analyzes this process
as staged and feedforward. After a first stage of conceptual
preparation, word generation proceeds through lexical selection,
morphological and phonological encoding, phonetic encoding and
articulation itself. In addition, the speaker exerts some degree
of output control by monitoring self-produced internal and
overt speech. The core of the theory, ranging from lexical
selection to the initiation of phonetic encoding, is captured in a
computational model, called WEAVER++. Both the theory and the
computational model have been developed in conjunction with
reaction time experiments, particularly in picture naming or
related word production paradigms with the aim of accounting for
the real-time processing in normal word production. A
comprehensive review of theory, model and experiments are
presented. The model can handle some of the main observations in
the domain of speech errors (the major empirical domain for most
other theories of lexical access), and the theory also opens new
ways of approaching the cerebral organization of speech production
by way of high-resolution temporal imaging.
