THE PERCEPTION OF SPEECH AND OTHER ACOUSTIC SIGNALS

general cognitive processing? What constitutes evidence and
counter-evidence for these heoretical positions?

(formerly known as the Radisson Plaza Lord Baltimore Hotel),
20 W. Baltimore St., Baltimore MD 21201; (410) 539-8400,
1-800-HILTONS. This restored old hotel is located in downtown
Baltimore adjacent to the Inner Harbor. A block of rooms has been
reserved for the nights of May 8-12 at a special rate of
$119/night plus tax (single to quadruple occupancy; roll-aways
can be added for $10/nights). Participants should call the hotel
directly, BY APRIL 9, to make reservations. Participants
interested in sharing a room should consult the H-OT-97 Web page
where roommate information is kept up-to-date.
REGISTRATION
To pre-register, BY APRIL 9 send your physical and electronic
mail addresses, your phone number, and the dates you expect to
participate to H-OT-97: Cognitive Science Department, Johns
Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218-2685. Please enclose $25
(for faculty/postdocs; $15 for others) to help defray the cost of
printing, morning and afternoon coffee breaks, and a Saturday
night workshop party. Registration at the door will also be

from National or Dulles). The BWI airport Shuttle Express offers
a shuttle service to downtown hotels (every half hour) at the
cost of $11 one-way ($17 round-trip). A cab ride should be less
if you share it with several other participants.

Station, located north of downtown. Take a cab for a 5 minute
ride to the hotel.
