I can send you a latex source of a longer version of my article on
cognitive science in the forthcoming Encyclopedia of Computer Science &
Engineering.  There is a good bibliography appended to it.

I will, soon, make this available by ftp.  But anyone wanting a copy now
can send me email (though I will be going away for Xmas vacation soon and
may not get your mail till early January).  Or you can order the tech
report from my dept. (contact Sally Elder (elder@cs.buffalo.edu):
