Darwin and Darwinism is a forum for discussion of any and all matters
concerned with evolution. This means Darwin, his life and theories,
Darwinian scholarship, including other approaches to evolution in the past
and present. It is also intended to include findings, debates, concepts and
philosophical disscussions about Darwinian ideas in other disciplines,
including, for example, Darwinian psychology, social science, epistemology
and the relevance of Darwinism to moral, cultural, social, political and
ideological matters.
One of the aims of the forum is to provide a place where different
disciplines and points of view which often do not make much contact can
debate in a single space. This means that sharp disagreements are very
likely. The forum leaders are determined that these will be condicted in a
civil manner.

agnosia, categorical perception.
ABSTRACT: Although the study of visual perception has made more
progress in the past 40 years than any other area of cognitive
science, there remain major disagreements as to how closely
vision is tied to cognition. This paper sets out some of the
arguments for both sides (arguments from computer vision,
neuroscience, Psychophysics, perceptual learning and other areas
of vision science) and defends the position that an important
part of visual perception, corresponding to what some people
have called early vision, is prohibited from accessing relevant
expectations, knowledge and utilities in determining the
function it computes - in other words it is cognitively
impenetrable. That part of vision is complex and involves
top-down interactions that are internal to the early vision
system. Its function is to provide a structured representation
of the 3-D surfaces of objects sufficient to serve as an index
into memory, with somewhat different outputs being made
available to other systems such as those dealing with motor
control. The paper also addresses certain conceptual and
methodological issues raised by this claim, including the use of
signal detection theory and event-related potentials to assess
cognitive penetration of vision.
A distinction is made among several stages in visual processing.
These include, in addition to the inflexible early-vision
stage, a pre-perceptual attention-allocation stage and a
post-perceptual evaluation, selection, and inference stage which
accesses long-term memory. These two stages provide the primary
ways in which cognition can affect the outcome of visual
perception. The paper discusses arguments that have been
presented in both computer vision and psychology showing that
vision is "intelligent" and involves elements of "problem
solving". It is suggested that the cases of apparently
intelligent interpretation that are sometimes cited in support
of this claim do not show cognitive penetration, but rather they
show that certain natural constraints on interpretation,
concerned primarily with optical and geometrical properties of
the world, have been compiled into the visual system. The paper
also examines a number of examples where instructions and
"hints" are alleged to affect what is seen. In each case it is
concluded that the evidence is more readily assimilated to the
view that when cognitive effects are found, they have a locus
outside early vision, in such processes as the allocation of
focal attention and identification of the stimulus.

Subject: summerschool Groningen 29 June-3 July 1998
Summerschool 'SYMBOLS AND NEURONS'
The Research School 'Behavioural, Cognitive, and Neurosciences' this
year again organizes a summerschool. It will consist of a number of
separate and independent workshops. One of the workshops will be on
the role of symbols for human information-processing, and their
interrelation to neural processes. This topic will be placed in a more
general context of cognitive and neural systems. The lectures will be
partly introductory, and partly cover specific and advanced topics.
Title: Models of cognitive and neural systems
Time: Monday 29 June - Friday 3 July, 13:30 - 16:30
There will be four speakers:
Prof. Stevan Harnad, University of Southampton, UK
Prof. Terrence W. Deacon, Boston University, Boston, USA
Dr. G.J. Dalenoort, BCN, University of Groningen, NL
Dr. P.H. de Vries, BCN, University of Groningen, NL
Proposed topics (to be divided over the five afternoons):
1.general methodology, levels of description (Dalenoort)
(symbolic/functional and structural).
2.some general questions relating to questions of self-organization
in relation to learning, the nature of the memory trace, etc.
(Dalenoort).
3.symbol-grounding (qualia), categorical perception, the origin and
adaptive value of natural language. (Harnad).
4.neural models, artificial as well as biological (Harnad, Dalenoort)
5.conceptual networks networks as inspired by cognitive psychology
and the neural substratum. (De Vries)
6.models of the development of symbolic abilities (including
language, evolutionary (phylogenetic) as well as individual
(ontogenetic), in relation to the architecture of the brain, and
to cognition. (Deacon)
The basis for the contributions by Prof. Deacon will be his new book
'The symbolic species', New York/London, 1997.
consequences these may have for our models of the architecture
of the brain.
8.The relation to binding from theoretical and experimental point of
view (Dalenoort/ De Vries)
This is not the precise order of presentation during the week.
During the workshop some demonstrations will be given of simulation
programs of conceptual networks, and possibly A-life (artificial life).
=========================================================================
General lecture:
T.W. Deacon: Tuesday 30 June, 16.45 -18.30 hrs.: 'The symbolic species'.
The lecture will concentrate on the last chapter of the book of
this title, that appeared 1997 (published by W.W. Norton & Co.,
New York and London).
Of course a number of topics from earlier chapters will be mentioned
as building ground for the topics of the last chapter.
Comments, and elaborations of some points will be given by Prof. Harnad,
the other speaker from abroad.

KEYWORDS: personality, extraversion, dopamine, incentive
motivation, neurobiology behavioral sensitization,
heterosynaptic plasticity
ABSTRACT: Extraversion has two central characteristics: 1)
Interpersonal engagement consisting of affiliation (enjoying
and valuing close interpersonal bonds, being warm and
affectionate)and agency (being socially dominant and enjoying
leadership roles, being assertive, exhibitionistic and having a
sense of potency in accomplishing goals) and 2) Impulsivity,
which emerges from the interaction of extraversion and a
second, independent trait (constraint). Agency is a more
general motivational disposition including dominance, ambition,
mastery, efficacy, and achievement. Positive affect (a
combination of positive feelings and motivation) is closely
associated with extraversion. Extraversion is accordingly based
on positive incentive motivation. Parallels between
extraversion (particularly its agency component) and a
mammalian approach system based on positive incentive
motivation implicate a neuroanatomical network, and is
neurotransmitter in the processing of incentive motivation. A
corticolimbic-striatal-thalamic network (a) integrates the
salient incentive context in the medial orbital cortex,
amygdala, and hippocampus; (b) encodes the intensity of
incentive stimuli in a motive circuit composed of the nucleus
accumbens, ventral pallidum, and ventral tegmental area
dopamine projection system; and (c) creates an incentive
motivational state that can be transmitted to the motor
system.
Individual differences in the functioning of this network arise
from functional variation in the properties of the ventral
tegmental area dopamine projections, which are directly
involved in coding the intensity of incentive motivation.
Animal evidence suggests that there are three
neurodevelopmental sources of individual differences in
dopamine: genetic, "experience-expectant", and
"experience-dependent processes". Individual differences
promote variation in the heterosynaptic plasticity that
enhances the connection between incentive context and incentive
motivation and behavior. Our psychobiological threshold model
explains the effects of individual differences in dopamine
transmission on behavior and their relation to personality
traits.

KEYWORDS: amnesia, memory, hippocampus, fornix, thalamus,
temporal cortex
ABSTRACT: Based on new information from both clinical and
experimental studies in animals (lesion, electrophysiological, and
gene-activation), the anatomy underlying anterograde amnesia is
reformulated. The distinction between temporal lobe and
diencephalic amnesia is of limited value because a common feature
of anterograde amnesia is damage to part of an 'extended
hippocampal system' comprising the hippocampus, the fornix, the
mamillary bodies and the anterior thalamic nuclei. This view, which
can be traced back to Delay and Brion (1969), differs from other
recent models in placing critical importance on the efferents from
the hippocampus via the fornix to the diencephalon. These are
necessary for the encoding and hence the effective subsequent
recall of episodic memory. An additional feature of this
hippocampal/anterior-thalamic axis is the presence of projections
back from the diencephalon to the temporal cortex and hippocampus
that also support episodic memory. In contrast, this hippocampal
system is not required for tests of item recognition that primarily
tax familiarity judgements. Familiarity judgements reflect an
independent process that depends on a distinct system involving the
perirhinal cortex of the temporal lobe and the medial dorsal
nucleus of the thalamus. In the large majority of amnesic cases,
both the hippocampal/anterior-thalamic and the perirhinal/
mediodorsal-thalamic systems are compromised, leading to severe
deficits in both recall and recognition.

Registration by June 30, 1998, is necessary for those planning to stay
on campus. Because space is limited, every participant is advised to
reserve a room. For participants who fly into Wichita (the nearest major
airport) and report their arrival and departure time in advance,
transportation will be available from 4 to 10 p.m. July 27 and from 9
a.m. to 8 p.m. July 31.
