Cognitive science experts to discuss nature of the mind
Eight UI departments and units are joining forces to present the symposium,
"Cognitive Science at the Dawn of the 21st Century." Cognitive science is an interdisciplinary field concerned with all aspects of the nature of the mind, its contents, and processes.
The symposium, sponsored by the Ida Cordelia Beam Visiting Professorships Program, will bring to campus three distinguished scholars who represent the richness and diversity of the collective disciplines of cogitive science. They include Fred Dretske, professor emeritus of philosophy at Stanford University and senior research scholar at Duke University; Paul Smolensky, professor of cognitive science and assistant director of the Center for Speech and Language Processing at Johns Hopkins University and an adjunct faculty member of the Linguistics Department at the University of Maryland; and Anne Treisman, professor of psychology at Princeton University.
Symposium sponsors include the Departments of Psychology, Computer Science, Linguistics, Philosophy, Psychiatry, Psychological and Quantitative Foundations, Audiology and Speech Pathology, and the Foreign Language Acquisition Research and Education (FLARE) program.
The symposium, which will be held from 9:15 a.m to 5 p.m., Nov. 12 in S301 Lindquist Center, is free and open to the public. For further information, contact Gregg Oden, (33)5-2444 or gregg-oden@uiowa.edu.
