Collective Memory Meeting,
Coogee Surf
Club, July 2006; of our two previous Memory Days at Macquarie (Memory
Day 2007 and Memory
Day 2008), and of the
memory strands and themes in ASCS09,
the annual conference of the Australasian Society for Cognitive
Science, which we hosted in 2009.
Memory Day 2010 features work-in-progress talks from colleagues
interested in memory across a range of disciplines.
Here is the full
