December 2005 update from Bill Maki at Texas Tech re Armadillo 2006...

ARMADILLO 2006

As you probably knew last month, ARMADILLO did not meet in 2005.  Rest assured -- ARMADILLO did not become road kill.  We are alive and well and will meet in October 2006.  Here is a preliminary announcement so that you can reserve the dates on your calendar.

The 2006 meeting of the "Association for Research on Memory, Attention, Decision-making, Intelligence, Learning, Language, and Organization (of memory, that is)" will be held on the Texas Tech University campus in Lubbock, Texas.  It will be hosted by the TTU Department of Psychology with financial support from the TTU Provost's office.

The meeting will span Friday and Saturday, October 20th and 21st, 2006.  As usual, research talks will be scheduled throughout those two days along with one or more poster sessions during breaks and/or early Friday evening.  A call for papers will issued next summer.

Bob and Elizabeth Bjork (UCLA) will be our invited speakers for the 2006 meeting.  Their tentative titles are:

The talks and poster sessions will be in the Merket (alumni) center on the southeast (downtown) corner of the TTU campus.  A block of rooms is being held until September 19th, 2006, at the Hawthorn Suites which is just across the street.  The conference dinner/cash bar (Friday night) has been tentatively scheduled for the university’s restaurant (which is also just across the street on the top floor of the Bank of America building). 

If you know of colleagues in your department who did not receive this email, please have them contact Bill Maki (by email to bill.maki.edu) so they can be added to the mailing list.

A secure web site is being developed for on-line registration (including processing of a modest registration fee); details will be announced.  Meanwhile, general information about the meeting will be posted, as available to the ARMADILLO website here.
