Satellite Meeting for the Science of Learning Centers at the 2006 Society of Neuroscience Meeting
On Friday, October 13th, the NSF-funded Science of Learning Centers (SLC’s) will host a full day symposium at the 2006 Society for Neuroscience in Atlanta, Georgia. The satellite will consist of two broad sessions. The first will focus on “Memory, Planning, and Cognition” and will include presentations from Boston’s CELEST Center and discussants John Bruer from the McDonnell Foundation and Elsbeth Stern from the Max Plank Institute for Human Development in Berlin. The second session will focus on “Language, Social Cognition, and Education” and will include presentations by the LIFE Center, the CELEST Center, and Pittsburgh’s PSLC Center. Discussants will be John Geake from the Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Oxford and John Bruer. In the evening students from the three centers will convene a poster session, which will take place as part of a social hour in which presenters, attendees, and students will have the opportunity to share and discuss their work.
The NSF-funded symposium is designed to: (1) bring faculty and students of the three existing NSF Science of Learning together to present and discuss research projects central to their missions, and (2) to introduce other scientists and practitioners interested in the science of learning to the work of the SLCs.
