Winter Conference on Animal Learning and Behavior

About the Conference   The Winter Conference is a friendly and informal meeting. It provides an opportunity to combine intensive, scientifically rigorous discussions on a variety of topics in animal conditioning and learning with skiing at one of Colorado's premier ski areas. The skiing includes up to black diamond downhill as well as exciting cross-country in the Arapaho National Forest. The majestic snow-covered Rockies in winter are breathtaking. Daily paper sessions begin at around 4:00pm and end in time for a fashionably late dinner. A Focus Session (The Interface Between Learning and Cognition--This Focus Session related to the Keynote Address is being organized. The format will be presentations followed by discussion among participants. Let me (sweiss@american.edu) know if you would like to join that session). The focus session will be developed around the theme of Aaron Blaisdell's Keynote Address, Rational Rats: Causal Inference and Reality Monitoring. All participants in the meeting are invited to make a presentation and suggest topics. Graduate students are welcome. The 2010 program should be posted by early 2010.       The Winter Conference on Animal Learning and Behavior website is hosted courtesy of American University Department of Psychology Comments, suggestions, or inquiries should be sent to sweiss@american.edu
