s have been solicited from participants of the 2004 symposium, researchers known to be interested in this area, and readers of relevant research mailing lists. We expect to select approximately 10 abstracts to be presented as papers at the workshop. The program will be available at http://www.cs.wlu.edu/~levy/cogsci2010/ We propose to follow up the workshop with a special issue in Cognitive Sci...
