The Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society is a
multi-disciplinary conference aimed at bringing together researchers
studying and modeling cognition in humans and machines.  The 1991
meeting will be held at the University of Chicago, hosted by the
Artificial Intelligence Laboratory of the Computer Science Department.

Areas of interest to the Society include:

Cognitive Psychology 		Connectionist Models 
Artificial Intelligence 	Cognitive Neuroscience 
Linguistics		 	Education 
Philosophy of Mind 		Cognitive Development 
Cognitive Anthropology 		Philosophical Foundations  

Invited speakers currently include: Geoffery Hinton, Lucy Suchman, and
Steve Kosslyn.

Three types of submissions are encouraged:

Papers, Symposia, and Videotape/Computer presentations.

SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

Authors should submit five (5) copies of their papers in hard copy
form.  All paper submissions should be sent to:


		Cognitive Science 1991 
		Department of Computer Science 
		University of Chicago 
		1100 East 58th Street 
		Chicago, IL 60637 

Papers will be accepted either for presentation as talks or posters.
Authors are encouraged to submit new work to the poster sessions.
They provide a less formal forum for introducing work in its early
stages.

Unfortunately, electronic and FAX submissions cannot be accepted.

APPEARANCE AND LENGTH

Papers should be 8 pages long (excluding title page); have 1 inch
margins on top, bottom and sides; and use no smaller than 10pt type.

Camera ready versions of papers will be required only after authors
are notified of acceptance.

TITLE PAGE

Each copy of the paper must include a title page, separate from the
body of the paper. This should contain:

1. Title of the paper.

2. Full names, postal addresses, phone numbers and email addresses (if
   available) of all authors.

3. An abstract of 100-200 words.

4. The area/subarea in which the paper should be reviewed.

5. A note stating if the first author is a student and
   should thus be considered for the David Marr award.

   presentation as a talk or poster.

TIME TABLE

Submissions must be received by March 1st, 1991.

Notification of acceptance or rejection will be made on or before

Camera ready versions of papers will be due May 15th.

SYMPOSIA

Symposium proposals should include a single page describing the issue
or issues that the panel will address, followed by a page each
describing the relevant work of each participant.  In general, we
recommend that individuals interested in chairing symposia contact the
Program Chairs as soon as possible so that details of personnel and
content can be discussed.

VIDEOTAPE/COMPUTER PRESENTATIONS

Videotape and computer presentations will be made during the poster
sessions.  We are interested in presentations that demonstrate results
in the areas of: Artificial Intelligence, Protocol analysis,
Educational tools, and Cognitive Ethnographic studies.

Authors should submit one copy of a videotape (in either Beta or VHS
format) of 15 minutes maximum duration, accompanied by a submission
letter that includes:

Title; names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses of all
authors; three copies of an abstract of one to two pages in length.

Researchers wishing to present computer demonstrations should contact
Kristian Hammond as soon as possible to discuss review criteria and
ensure machine availability.
