DRAFT: Modular Representations of Cognitive
Phenomena in AI, Psychology and Neuroscience (in HTML or PDF). Expected to appear in Visions
of Mind, Darryl Davis ed. Updated December 2003
Language Isn't Quite That Special
(HTML). Commentary on The cognitive functions of language by Peter
Carruthers, both in Behavioral & Brain Sciences
(BBS). Updated 10 Dec, 2002.
Embodiment
vs. Memetics: Does Language Need a Physical Plant? from the
Proceedings of the Workshop on Developmental Embodied
Cognition (DECO 01). I describe my model of how language connects
to modular embodied intelligence in nature, and what this implies for
AI. Just a position/review paper, no novel results, but good fun.

Stein. From IJCAI
2001. A 6 page summary of my dissertation, including a description
of BOD, differences between reactive agent
architectures, and an overly brief example of using BOD. (Final

This
text brings together a number of perspectives on issues realted to complete
synthetic minds with contributions from leading figures in the area.
It follows in the tradition of Computers and Thought (1963), Mind Design
(1981), Architectures for Intelligence (1988) and Android Epistemology (1989).

European Commission Framework 6 Cognitive Systems Initiative
Presentation by Colette Maloney, June 2003.
This workshop was funded by the European Social Fund and organised by
Ricardo Sanz, Ron Chrisley and Aaron Sloman.
The web site includes information about attendees and abstracts of
presentations. There is
the
official report on the workshop in PDF format,
Duplicated
here,
and a
Summary presentation by Ron
Chrisley,
duplicated in PDF
here.
Following the workshop, Aaron Sloman prepared new versions of these
slide presentations on topics discussed at the workshop.
