What does it me an to be literate? What does it mean to be a
cognizing individual? What is the nature of cognizing? These are
not new questions. They have been treated as "philosophical
puzzles" to be pondered systema tically in the hope of some
eventual solution. They have also been viewed as sets of "language
games" with their own rules to enable the individual to understand
the world. These age-old and significant issues gain renewed
meaning with our advances in technology and neurosciences.
Psychologists and educators would need to be aware of the explicit
knowledge needed to prepare their students to be literate
individuals. These were some of the questions that a small number
of psychologists, educators, and computer scientists attempted to
answer when they gathered for the Symposium Literacy and Cognition,
which was held at the University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon, Canada
from 29th to 31st October, 1987. The occasion also marked the
sixtieth anniversary of the College of Education of the University,
which had as its beginning the Normal School for the Province of
Saskatchewan. We are grateful to the presenters for their
presentations and their written papers, and also to our other
colleagues from the United States and Sweden for their
contributions to the multi faceted theme of literacy and cognition.
There are many other people whom we would like to thank. These
include: Dr. Sylvia Fedoruk, Chancellor of the University and
Lieutenant Governor of Saskatchewan, for her opening remarks at the
Symposium; Dr."
