Cognitive Processing -  (CP) is a new, peer reviewed scientific journal merged with the well established Psychologische Beiträge. It publishes innovative contributions to the multidisciplinary field of cognitive science. The first aim is to present the newest results reached in the manifold disciplines concerned with the different aspects of cognitive processing in natural and artificial systems: Artificial intelligence, Computer science and Knowledge engineering, Linguistics, Mathematics, Neuroscience, Philosophy and Cognitive anthropology, Psychology, Robotic. The main purpose is communication with different specialists on topics of common interest. The journal will promote an interdisciplinary understanding of diverse topics in contemporary cognitive science. 

CP considers whatever subject matter concerning cognitive processing, accepting whatever approach to investigation: theoretical, experimental, methodological, computational and modeling, applicative. A tentative list of topics Action, Attention, Cognitive change and optimization, Computing in Cognitive science; Connectionist approaches, Expertise, Knowledge acquisition, Knowledge representation, Language (Grammar and Semantics, Discourse analysis, Development, Disturbances), Mental architectures and models, Memory, Mind design, Multimedia data-bases, Perception and pattern recognition.

Each issue will contain: 2 invited papers broadly discussing the same problem from the point of view of neuro- and computer sciences; original research reports; brief research notes; information and book reviews. 
CP will be indexed from the first issue in PsychLit.
Manuscripts should be submitted to the CP Editor at the following address:

Marta Olivetti Belardinelli - ECONA, via dei Marsi 78, I-00185 ROMA.
 http://studens.psi.uniroma1.it/olivetti.htm

Each submission should include one original and two copies of:

a) the full manuscript;
b) a separate title page containing the title, authors' names and affiliations and authors' address, fax and E-mail;
c) another separate sheet with the abstracts, approximately 200 words long, and again the indication of the title.
d) a list of 4 keywords.

Authors should prepare manuscripts according to the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (4th ed.).

Accepted manuscripts will be published immediately in Internet before the Journal appears.
