***apologies for multiple postings CALL FOR PAPERS Cognitive Robotics and Theoretical
Psychology Tom Ziemke & Mark Bickhard Cognitive robotics – the use of robots in the modeling of
cognition – evolved in reaction to disembodied and context free notions
of cognition. Cognitive robotics and related orientations emphasize the
centrality of agency to cognition, together with multiple corollary properties
of dynamic agents interacting in real situations. There are many interrelations
and synergies between cognitive robotics and theoretical psychology, and
progressively more of them are being explored in both psychology and robotics. We are calling for papers for a special issue of the journal New Ideas in Psychology* addressing the
relationships between cognitive robotics in a broad sense — including,
for example, embodied cognition, and autonomous agents — on the one hand,
and theoretical psychology, on the other. We would like to focus on what these
approaches offer to psychology — philosophically, theoretically,
methodologically, suggestions for models, and so on — as well as what
opportunities are offered to psychology for application, testing, and
exploration of psychological issues and theories. Interested authors should
send an abstract of their intended paper to both editors. Initial abstracts are
due 15 Nov 2006, and full papers for accepted abstracts will be due 16 Apr
2007. Important dates: Submission of abstracts: 15 Nov 2006 Submission of full papers: 16 Apr 2007 Feedback/notification: 20 June 2007 Completion of final drafts: 15 Oct 2007 Aim for publication: Early 2008 Tom Ziemke Professor of Cognitive Science/Cognitive Robotics School of Humanities & Informatics [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mark Bickhard Henry R.
