(from Adam Golding)
For reading, people could read sections of interest from:
http://www.morganclaypool.com/doi/abs/10.2200/S00372ED1V01Y201107AIM014?journalCode=aim
With some emphasis on the more discrete/symbolic stuff in there. Or if they want to ‘go interdisciplinary’ they could choose among the readings from this Seance:

Optional supplementary reading material:
A Case for Simple SAT Solvers. Jinbo Huang. CP’07.
http://users.cecs.anu.edu.au/~jinbo/07-cp.pdf
“It is a short paper, and gives an overview which I’d consider more modern
(though some people might not agree). It also cites a lot of classic
papers in the field.” (Alexandra G)

Choose a paper from the special issue in Trends in Cognitive Sciences,
particularly something written by Joshua B. Tenenbaum
If you’re feeling lazy and just want to be given a paper to read, then at least read this:
Probabilistic models of cognition: Conceptual foundations. Chater, N., Tenenbaum, J. B., and Yuille, A.
If you’re feeling more adventurous, choose a paper that catches your interest from Josh Tenenbaum’s home page.
