International Conference on Working Memory
Cambridge, 9th – 11th July 2014
This conference is being held in celebration of the exceptional contributions of Alan Baddeley and Graham Hitch, on the 40th anniversary of the publication of their model of working memory in 1974. The conference will cover the full range of theoretical and empirical approaches to the understanding and study of working memory.
The meeting will be held at the University Arms Hotel in central Cambridge. On the evening of the first day, there will be a garden party at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit, formerly the Applied Psychology Unit, where Alan and Graham’s early work was conducted.
