One of the key issues regarding representation concerns the possible varieties of representation: what are various ways of representing? Are mental representations propositional or image-based, connectionist, analog or digital? How can one answer these questions in the case of natural cognitive systems? What consequences does a pluralist attitude to representation have for claims that animals and even plants are capable of representing? Call for Papers 300 word abstracts are invited no later than the extended deadline of July 15th. Accepted speakers will have 40 minutes for their presentations, including discussion time.
