The major goals of the InternationalGroup and the North American Chapterare: 1. To promote internationalcontacts and the exchange of scientific information in the psychology ofmathematics education. 2. To promote and stimulateinterdisciplinary research in the aforesaid area with the cooperation of psychologists,mathematicians and mathematics educators. 3. To further a deeper and betterunderstanding of the psychological aspects of teaching and learning mathematicsand the implementation thereof. iii Reviewers PME-NA XXIII Proceedings, 2001 Silvia Alatorre Elizabeth Jakubowski Arthur Powell Alice Alston Amanda Jansen Norma Presmeg Dawn Leigh Anderson Debra Johanning David Pugalee Bridget Arvold Pat Lamphere Jordan Manya Raman Leslie Aspinwall C0115;',ance Kamii Christopher Rasrrn;seti Patricia Balderas-Canas Rochelle Goldberg Kay Reinke Jeffrey Barrett Kaplan Ron Ritchhart Joanne Rossi Becker Elhan Kazemi Manuel Santos Babette Benken Paul Kehle Roberta Schorr Sally Berenson Regina Kiczek John Selden Joyce Bishop Margaret Kinzel Annie Selden Linda Bolte Anita Kitchens Betty Senger Daniel Brahier Hari P.
