Conference at a Glance

1998 Meeting on Trauma and Cognitive Science
offered by
Institute of Cognitive and Decision Sciences of the University of Oregon
Department of Psychology of the University of Oregon
Center for the Study of Women in Society of the University of Oregon

Program Committee:
Jennifer J. Freyd, Ph.D., University of Oregon
Chris R. Brewin, Ph.D., University of London

Pre-meeting Goals: The aim of the meeting is to share knowledge and theory relevant to understanding the way in which trauma interacts with information processing. A particular focus will be on how traumatic information is encoded, stored, and later retrieved from memory. Related topics include disturbances of consciousness during and after trauma, the accuracy of memory for trauma, the need for multi-level models of memory, the effects of early trauma on subsequent information processing, and inhibitory processes in memory. This meeting will have a research focus, but we believe it is important to keep in mind the significant ethical, clinical, and societal implications of our work. These will also be the focus of discussion at the meeting.
