  2. Full names, postal addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses 
     (if possible) of all authors.
  3. An abstract of no more than 200 words.
  4. The area(s) in which the paper should be reviewed.  When possible, please

       action/motor control, acquisition/learning, cognitive architecture, 
       cognitive neuroscience, connectionism, conceptual change/education,
       decision making, foundations, human-computer interaction, language 
       (indicate subarea), memory, reasoning and problem solving, perception,
       situated action/cognition, skill/expertise.
  5. Preference for presentation format: Talk or poster, talk only, poster only.
     Poster sessions will be highlighted in this year's conference. The 
     proceedings will not distinguish between papers presented orally and
     those presented as posters.
