Workshop on Constructive Memory |
Advanced
Interdisciplinary Workshop
on
Constructive Memory:
Data and Models
Sofia, New Bulgarian University, July 12-14, 2003
The aim of the workshop will be to challenge our current understanding of human memory by integrating data with theoretical and computational models and by bringing researchers from a variety of domains together.
The workshop topics will include:
- False Memory and Memory Illusions
- Interaction between memory and reasoning, between memory and imagination
- Autobiographical memory
- Spatial Memory
- Memory for Actions and Events
- Memory for Faces and Objects
- WM and constructive processes
- Context-Sensitivity of Human Memory
- Collective memory
The workshop is deliberately interdisciplinary and will cover a variety of methods:
- lab experiments
- field studies
- computer simulations
- mathematical models
- brain imaging
- brain lesions
The workshop program will consist of invited key speaker talks which will be challenged by discussants, short talks by regular participants, and numerous discussions and working groups. See the Call for Papers.
In parallel to the workshop an International Summer School in Cognitive Science will take place.
