Senior guest speakers:

Mark Johnson (University of Oregon)
Annette Karmiloff-Smith (UCL)
Susan Hurley (University of Warwick)
Rob Ellis (University of Plymouth).

The remaining papers will be presented by researchers and academics in
the related fields of psychology, philosophy of mind, linguistics and
artificial intelligence (artificial life).

Purpose:  With the decline of traditional 'rules and symbols'
'cognitivist' psychology, it has been clear that new approaches are
needed. This conference will bring together researchers from a variety
of fields and approaches with a view to 'building bridges' between
researchers in disparate research areas. The extent to which these
approaches constitute a 'paradigm shift' in the Kuhnian sense, will
be a key theme of the conference.
Papers and posters are welcomed from researchers in the fields of
embodied cognition, discursive cognition, situated cognition,
distributed cognition, artificial life, post-Chomskyan linguistics,
activity theory, and ecological (Gibsonian) psychology.
A proposal can be submitted for any of the following types of
presentation:

·       Individual paper (30 minutes including time for discussion)
·       Individual poster
·       Symposium presentation (no more than 3 papers, 90 minutes including
time for discussion)
The language of the conference is English. Individual papers will be
arranged within sessions according to their themes as much as possible.
Papers, symposia and posters on all relevant subjects will be
considered, but they should take account of the conference themes.
