 Since its inception in 1965, the Carnegie Mellon Symposium on Cognition
has been a vehicle for framing issues in cognitive science and furthering
progress in the field. Each meeting has been characterized by lively
exchanges from multiple perspectives and has led to a widely disseminated
proceedings volume. A list of the contributors to these books includes the
field's most prominent researchers. The first volume on problem solving
(edited by Benjamin Kleinmuntz) presented chapters by such luminaries as
Alan Newell, George Miller, Herbert Simon, and B. F. Skinner. Since then
artificial intelligence, cognitive and developmental psychology, and,
increasingly, cognitive neuroscience have been amply represented, along
with mathematical and comparative psychology, decision science, philosophy
and linguistics. 

A typical symposium runs from Thursday morning to Sunday afternoon.
Research presentations are punctuated by questions, discussions, and critical
summaries. Social events also offer time for free-form exchange.
The symposia are open to any interested party; however, pre-registration is
requested in order to facilitate planning.
