Dynamical Hypothesis: BBS Call for Commentators

by Stevan Harnad

Below is the abstract of a forthcoming BBS target article on: THE DYNAMICAL HYPOTHESIS IN COGNITIVE SCIENCE by Tim van Gelder This article has been accepted for publication in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (BBS), an international, interdisciplinary journal providing Open Peer Commentary on important and controversial current research in the biobehavioral and cognitive sciences. Commentators must be BBS Associates or nominated by a BBS Associate.

ABSTRACT: Recent years have seen increasing use of dynamics in cognitive science. If the heart of the dominant computational approach is the hypothesis that cognitive agents are digital computers, the heart of the alternative dynamical approach is the hypothesis that cognitive agents are dynamical systems. This target article attempts to articulate the dynamical hypothesis and to defend it as an empirical alternative to the computational hypothesis. Digital computers and dynamical systems are characterized as specific kinds of systems. The dynamical hypothesis has two major components: the nature hypothesis (cognitive agents are dynamical system) the knowledge hypothesis (cognitive agents can be understood dynamically). A wide range of objections to the general hypothesis are then rebutted. The conclusion is that cognitive systems may well be dynamical systems, and only sustained empirical research in cognitive science will determine the extent to which that is true. -------------------------------------------------------------- To help you decide whether you would be an appropriate commentator for this article, an electronic draft is retrievable by anonymous ftp from ftp.princeton.edu according to the instructions below (the filename is bbs.vangelder).

Updated Call for Abstracts CUNY '98

by Suzanne Stevenson

**** Please note clarification in "WHAT TO SUBMIT" below. **** CALL FOR ABSTRACTS DEADLINE: November 7, 1997 11th Annual CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing Hosted by Rutgers University March 19-21, 1998 Featuring a Special Session on The Lexical Basis of Syntactic Processing: Formal and Computational Issues INVITED SPEAKERS: Joan Bresnan, Stanford University Beth Levin, Northwestern University Mitch Marcus, University of Pennsylvania Jerry Fodor, Rutgers University DISCUSSANTS: Mark Johnson, Brown University Amy Weinberg, University of Maryland Maryellen MacDonald, University of Southern California ABSTRACT DEADLINE: November 7, 1997 The 11th Annual CUNY Conference on Human Sentence Processing is soliciting abstracts for papers and posters presenting theoretical, experimental, and/or computational research on human sentence processing. Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously and will be considered for both the general conference sessions and for a special session on The Lexical Basis of Syntactic Processing: Formal and Computational Issues. SPECIAL SESSION: Lexical influences on processing are currently a major focus of attention in research on sentence comprehension, yet much of the work remains isolated from investigations of the lexicon in other disciplines. The special session, The Lexical Basis of Syntactic Processing: Formal and Computational Issues, will examine current theories of lexical representation from a multidisciplinary perspective, relating the issues raised to current work on sentence comprehension. The focus of the session will be presentations by invited speakers from linguistics, computer science, and philosophy, with critical commentary and discussion from researchers within the sentence processing community. The special session will also include submitted papers and posters on the topic of the role of the lexicon in sentence processing. Abstracts that are considered for the special session will be evaluated both for the quality of the research and for the fit between the submitted abstract and the invited papers. SUBMISSION DEADLINES: For consideration in the spoken paper sessions: November 7, 1997. For consideration as a poster only: January 12, 1998 WHAT TO SUBMIT: Abstracts must be text only (ASCII), no more than 400 words in length, excluding references. Please do not submit MIME encoded email or non-ascii output of a word processing program. At the top of the abstract, please include your name, email address, and indicate whether your abstract is to be considered for PAPER ONLY, POSTER ONLY, or PAPER OR POSTER. The last category means that you would be willing to present a poster if your abstract is not included in the spoken sessions but is accepted for one of the poster sessions. Please leave several blank lines between this information and your title and abstract, so that we may remove this information for anonymous abstract review. Abstracts submitted but not accepted for the paper sessions will automatically be included in the submissions for poster sessions, unless the abstract is marked PAPER ONLY. WHERE TO SUBMIT: We will accept email submissions only. Email your submissions to cuny(a)ruccs.rutgers.edu Please use "Abstract" as your subject header. If you are submitting more than one abstract, each must be separately emailed. You will receive an email acknowledgment for each abstract you submit. If you are unable to use email to submit your abstract, you must contact the organizers for instructions on submitting a PC-readable disk with the required information and abstract. CONFERENCE DATES AND LOCATION: The conference will be held on March 19-21, 1998, at the Hyatt Regency, New Brunswick, New Jersey, adjacent to the Rutgers University campus. The conference site is easily accessible by shuttle from the Newark airport, and by train from New York or Philadelphia. Detailed hotel reservation and travel information is available on the conference web site; please check out the Accommodations and Transportation links.
