# A. David Redish - Beyond the Cognitive Map **Opening (not a real abstract):** I wish to thank first my doctoral advisor , David Touretzky, without whose high standards and support over the years, this book would not have been possible, and second the other members of my dissertation committee, Jay McClelland , Bruce Mc Naughton, and David Plaut , for helping make the book what it is. I am also grateful to Bruce Mc Naughton and Carol Barnes for their ' guidance and flexibility during my last year of work on the book. I am deeply indebted to the many people who have given me critical comments (and some good arguments), and who have been so generous with their data, their comments, and their encouragement : Larry Abbott , Tad Blair, Neil Burgess, T. S. Collett , Howard Eichenbaum, Mark Fubs, Kati Gothard , Michael Hasselmo, Jeremy Goodridge , Jim Knierim , Chip Levy, John Lisman ,
