meeting at UBC

The Society for Applied Research in Memory and Cognition is holding its first biannual conference this July (15-17) at UBC in Vancouver. The Society now has over 200 members and was heavily involved in last summer's Practical Aspect of Memory conference held at the Univ of Maryland. This year's meeting will have three "streams" or concurrent talks. One will focus on Psychology & Law (Eyewitness memory etc), another on Autobiographical Memory, and the third will be comprised of papers submitted in response to the Call for Papers. Keynote speakers will include Steve Ceci (Psych & Law) and David Rubin (Autobiographical mem). If you are interested in presenting a paper on any aspect of applied cognition and memory,please e-mail David Burrows (dburrows(a)skidmore.edu) for the apropriate materials. We have a strong group of speakers on each of the two focus themes and wish to encourage all of you to attend. And, Vancouver is a rather pleasant place to visit in July.
