(Absztrakt)
Ebben a dolgozatban a logika tarsadalomtudomanyi alkalmazasanak
lehetosegeit feszegetem. A szemugyrevett problema ugy parafrazalhato, hogy
egy jellegzetes tarsadalomtudomanyi ervelestipus CETERIS PARIBUs
(egyeb feltetelek azonossaga eseten tett) osszehasonlitasok menten
szervezodik, s elore nem tudhato, mik azok a feltetelek amelyeknek
azonosaknak kell lenniuk.
Hogy a vizsgalodas valamennyire konkret lehessen egy M. Hannan altal az
elmult evben kifejlesztett szervezetszociologiai elmeletet vazolok fel,
amely a szervezetek halandosaga es eletkoruk kozott keres osszefuggeseket.
A talalt kapcsolatok annak ellenere erdekesek, hogy elsorendu logikai
forditasaik a feltetelek egyideju kielegithetoseget kizarni latszanak.
A fent nevezett ervelestipus elemzese oda konkludal, hogy ez a tipusu
tarsadalomtudomanyi erveles nem elegiti ki az elsorendu logika egy jol
ismert meta-tulajdonsagat, a monotonitast: ujabb premisszak felvetele
esetenkent a mar levezetett konkluziok elvesztesevel jar.
Ettol kezdve a kihivas logikai termeszetu: Hogyan lehet olyan intuitive
vilagos es konszenzualis elvek menten szervezodo logikat megadni, amely
huen rekonstrualja a jelzett erveles tipust. A dolgozat magva egy ilyen
logika szemantikajanak bemutatasa.
A dolgozat annak felvazolasaval zarul, hogy mifele kovetkezmenyekkel jar a
vizsgalt tarsadalomtudomanyi elmeletre egy ilyen, nem-monoton logikai

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).

Publication of the Workshop Proceedings - June 30th, 1998
Workshop - July 17-20, 1998, (arrival 16th, departure 21st)
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.

Ph.D. in Cognitive Science
Carleton University now offers a PhD in Cognitive Science. The
programme admitted its first students in Sept. 1997. The next admission
will be in Spring 1998 for Sept. 1998 registration. The programme is
Canada's first dedicated, fully structured Ph.D. programme in Cognitive
Science. Further information can be obtained from the Director, Andrew
Brook, abrook(a)ccs.carleton.ca, or at the regular mail address given at
the end or from our Web site:
http://superior.carleton.ca/~jlogan/Grad_Cog_Sci.html
The programme is housed in the Institute of Interdisciplinary
Studies. The programme involves 26 faculty from the five core disciplines
of Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Psychology, Linguistics,
Philosophy, and Neuroscience, 17 from Carleton, the other nine from the
University of Ottawa, McGill University, and the federal Communications
Research Centre.
It is possible to enter the programme with an honours Bachelor's
degree as well as with a Master's degree. Students with training in any
of the core disciplines or a related discipline or disciplines are
invited to apply. The programme involves dedicated core courses, courses
from contributing departments, a highly innovative `methodology rotation'
in which students spend a term in a laboratory or other research facility
in three different cognitive disciplines, and a dissertation. The
methodology rotation serves as the comprehensive examination. The
dissertation committee is interdisciplinary.
Financial assistance in the form of Scholarships and Teaching
Assistantships is available to all qualified students. All students are
provided with office space, a fully networked computer, and so on. About
five new students will be admitted each year in the early years of the
programme.
The programme has been assessed by an international panel of
cognitive scientists from England, Canada and the United States. All
rated it in the highest category.
