Call for Papers:
Cognitive Science pursues a scientific understanding of the
mind through all available methodologies, notably those of
anthropology, artificial intelligence, computer science,
education, linguistics, logic, neuroscience, philosophy and
psychology, in whatever combinations are most appropriate to
the topic at hand. The focus of this year's conference will
be to represent the full breadth of research in the
cognitive sciences, in ways that will lead to useful mutual
interaction. All contributions should be addressed to an
interdisciplinary audience.
* STANDARD SPOKEN PAPERS: 20-minute spoken
presentations, which (if accepted) will be published as
6-page papers in the Proceedings;
* STANDARD POSTERS: poster presentations, which (if
accepted) will be published as 6-page papers in the
Proceedings;
* ABSTRACT POSTERS: poster presentations, which (if
accepted) will be published in the Proceedings as one-page
abstracts, but can be submitted only by members of the
Cognitive Science Society. For information about
membership, see http://www.umich.edu/~cogsci or contact the
Executive Officer, Colleen Seifert (Fax: (734) 429-9248;

page abstracts in the Proceedings.
Submissions for standard spoken papers, standard posters,

experts according to the following criteria: Significance;
Relevance to a Broad Audience of Cognitive Science
Researchers; Originality; Technical Merit; and Clarity of
Presentation.
ALL submissions for standard spoken papers, standard
posters, abstract posters, and symposia should be submitted
according to the instructions at
http://www.hcrc.ed.ac.uk/cogsci2001. Electronic templates

PRESIDENTS' PRIZES
Continuing a tradition started by former president Kenneth Pike,
a committee consisting of the President, the President-Elect,
and former Presidents of LACUS will select the winner of the annual
Presidents' Prize, with an award of $500, for 'the best paper' by
a junior scholar. For purposes of this prize, 'junior scholar' is
defined as one who has had a doctoral degree for less than ten
years and has not yet attained a tenured position.
The Presidents' Predoctoral prize, with an award of $100, will be
given for 'the best paper' by a student who has not yet received
a doctor's degree.
For purposes of these prizes, 'best paper' is defined as that which
in the judgement of the committee makes the most important
contribution to knowledge. Organization and presentation may also
be considered.
The prizes will be awarded at the annual banquet, to be held at the
end of the meeting, Saturday, August 4th.
Only single-authored presentations will be considered for
prizes.
Junior scholars and predoctoral scholars should identify their
status in the e-mail message sent in with the abstracts, to
indicate their eligibility for one of the prizes.
FINANCIAL AID
Limited funds to assist scholars coming from countries with
weak currencies may be available. For information contact the
Conference Committee Chair.

A panel of referees will select certain papers presented at
