Welcome to the Provisional Programme for the XVI Annual BPS-CPS Conference in York 13th - 15th September, 1999. Presented below is the provisional conference timetable.

There have been a record number of applications this year, which makes for the most lively section conference yet!

A close look at the timetable below will show that there are four organised symposia:
  • Working Memory and Imagery,
  • Development,
  • Attention, and
  • Developments in the Neuroscience of Language.

  • There are also five keynote lectures:
  • Derrick Watson: Cognitive Prize Lecture - Prioritising selection for new objects by top-down attentional inhibition of old objects,
  • Dan Reisberg: Internal representations, external representations, and the benefits of thinking out loud,
  • Joe Torgeson: The remediation of children's reading disabilities,
  • Hal Pashler: Dual-Task Interference And Cognitive Architecture, and
  • Ruth Cambell: Language From The Face - Recent Findings

  • The abstracts for these papers are also available by clicking on the link below:

    Keynote abstracts




    Throughout the conference there will be three parallel sessions. The themed symposia (in bold in the timetable) will be in Room A, with talks lasting 30 minutes. All other talks will last 20 minutes. There will also be two extended poster sessions, during the afternoon tea/coffee break on Tuesday and Wednesday.

    To ease space in the timetable only the name of the author presenting the paper has been included.


    The full list of authors and abstracts for these papers are also available by clicking on the initial below of the presenters name.
