The work of Richard M. Shiffrin has highly impacted the field of
cognitive science, and current developments within perception and
memory have been influenced by his ideas. In this volume, several
key figures in the field will comment on these developments and put
them in a wider perspective. Although many theories and models have
been presented in recent years for various aspects of human
cognition, there have not been many comparative evaluations that
focus on how these models have really advanced our understanding of
the underlying mechanisms. This volume will be a valuable source of
information for both cognitive scientists working in the field, and
researchers and students looking for a clear, accessible
presentation of the key problems in cognitive science. Highlighted
sections include attention and perception, memory functions and
processes, knowledge representation and semantics, modelling
approaches and applications.

This special issue of "Cognitive Science" honors the research and
mentorship contributions of Dr. John R. Anderson, the 2004 David E.
Rumelhart Prize recipient whose research has provided the field of
cognitive psychology with comprehensive and integrative theories,
and has had a practical impact on educational practice in the
classroom and on student achievement in learning mathematics. The
David E. Rumelhart Prize is awarded annually to an individual or
collaborative team making a significant contemporary contribution
to the formal analysis of human cognition. For three decades, Dr.
Anderson has been engaged in a vigorous research program with the
goal of developing a computational theory of mind. The diverse
articles in this issue feature work by Dr. Anderson's students,
colleagues, and collaborators, illustrating that it is possible to
impact education with rigorous stimulation of human cognition.
