Subject: (1) USSR Academy of Sciences Public Access Computer Account
After a good deal of preparatory work, Alexandra Belyaeva and her
research group at the Institute of Psychology of the USSR Academy of
Sciences have announced the opening of a special public account,
which you are welcome to use. The idea behind psy-pub is to facilitate
communication between Russian and non-Russian psychologists using
electronic mail as one essential link in the communication process.
If there is a particular psychologist you want to get in touch with, or
if you only want to seek out someone interested in your particular
topic area (assuming it is related to psychology!), write to psy-pub
for help. We are looking into the possibility of arranging
complementary assistance here in this country.

Subject: (2) Cognition & Representation Conference
COGNITION AND REPRESENTATION:
ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
A conference on cognition and representation will be
held April 3rd, 4th, and 5th, 1992, in the Center for Tomor-
row, the conference center on the Amherst campus of the
State University of New York at Buffalo. The conference will
begin Friday afternoon, have an evening session on Friday,
continue all day Saturday, and end following a session Sun-
day morning. The conference is jointly sponsored by the
Center for Cognitive Science and the Departments of Philoso-
phy, Computer Science, Psychology, and Linguistics.
The following speakers will make invited presentations:
Charles Fillmore, Linguistics, University of California
Jerry Fodor, Philosophy, Rutgers and the Graduate School,
City University of New York
Whitman Richards, Brain and Cognitive Science,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Paul Smolensky, Computer Science, University of Colorado
Bonnie Webber, Computer Science, University of Pennsylvania
We are soliciting a limited number of shorter presenta-
tions. Potential contributors are invited to submit papers
having a reading time of no more than 20 minutes. In lieu of
the completed paper, abstracts of one or two pages may also
be submitted. These should be sent to:
The Center for Cognitive Science
651 Baldy Hall
State University of New York at Buffalo
Buffalo, New York 14260
The deadline is October 15, 1991. At present there are no
funds to support those presenting submitted papers, but a
strenuous effort will be made to provide lodging in the
homes of local faculty for those who would like it. Should
additional funds be obtained, they will be used to defray
some of the expenses of those reading papers.
For further information, please send email to Ms. Dawn Phillips,

Subject: (3) Dynamic Representation in Cognition Conference
DYNAMIC REPRESENTATION IN COGNITION

Cognition is a dynamic phenomenon. Cognitive processes are in
continuous adaptive interaction with the changing environment. The
cognizing system must deal in real time with a constantly changing
environment. Many crucial features of the environment, such as the
escape path of prey or an utterance in a natural language, have an
extended temporal structure. Further, in development and learning, the
system itself undergoes change. Yet cognitive science has
traditionally tried to abstract away from the dynamic nature of
cognition, using various strategies -- such as dividing time into
discrete segments or taking cognitive processing to be the sequential
manipulation of static representational structures. Increasingly, this
approach is being challenged by researchers in a wide variety of fields
who are building dynamics directly into their theories and models of
cognitive processes. These include many who now believe that dynamical
systems theory is a more appropriate mathematical framework for the
study of cognition than symbolic computation. A radical new conception
of mental representation is gradually emerging: representations might
hemselves be dynamic structures such as trajectories in a system state
space. There are now many concrete examples of dynamical models of
cognitive phenomena in areas such as motor control, olfaction and
language processing. The aim of this workshop-style conference is to
bring together many key researchers, to share perspectives from diverse
areas of cognitive modeling, and to provide plenty of time to discuss
the foundational issues in genuinely dynamical conceptions of
cognition.

greetings to the forms of subordinate clauses, and from the influence
of perception on language to the modularity of syntax. Abstracts (250
