We'd appreciate your limiting conference announcements to 150 lines,
so that we can post more than 1 per issue. Please consider omitting
information useful only to attendees, such as information on housing,
transportation, or rooms and times of sessions. Please do not use
abbreviations or acronyms for your conference unless you explain
them in your text. Many people outside your area of specialization
will not recognize them. Thank you for your cooperation.

Eighteenth Annual Conference of the
COGNITIVE SCIENCE SOCIETY
July 12-15, 1996
University of California, San Diego
La Jolla, California
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
The Annual Cognitive Science Conference began with the La Jolla
Conference on Cognitive Science in August of 1979. The organizing
committee of the Eighteenth Annual Conference would like to welcome
members home to La Jolla. We plan to recapture the pioneering spirit
of the original conference, extending our welcome to fields on the
expanding frontier of Cognitive Science, including Artificial Life,
Cognitive and Computational Neuroscience, Evolutionary Psychology, as
well as the core areas of Anthropology, Computer Science, Linguistics,
Neuroscience, Philosophy, and Psychology.
The conference will feature plenary addresses by invited speakers,
invited symposia by leaders in their fields, technical paper sessions,
a poster session, a banquet, and a Blues Party. San Diego is the home
of the world-famous San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, Sea World, the
historic all-wooden Hotel Del Coronado, beautiful beaches, mountain
areas and deserts, is a short drive from Mexico, and features a high
Cappuccino Index. Bring the whole family and stay a while!

Stephen Crain (UMD College Park) & Mark Seidenberg (USC)
Moderated by Paul Smolensky (Johns Hopkins University)
