There will be no lab meeting next week (March 19) . Our next meeting will take place on March 26th and we will discuss Ashby and Ell’s chapter from the Steven’s handbook. The full copy is available in two parts from Dr. Ashby’s own website.
Meeting on March 12
Sarah Devantier will give a preliminary version of her brown-bag talk about some of the data we have collected in a think-aloud task with physicians. As always, we will meet at 11:45 in room 8409.
Meeting on March 5th
For our march 5th meeting we will read and discuss the paper by Poldrack and Foerde (2008),
Poldrack, R., & Foerde, K. (2008). Category learning and the memory systems debate. Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 32, 197-205.
This paper is available on line, but email me if you need a copy. Although this paper is clearly in favour of Multiple memory systems, I’m hoping we get some idea of what the counter arguments might be, and how the memory systems literature informs category learning in general.
