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.
