UoN students and staff present at the Australian Math Psyc

Last week, students and staff from the School of Psychology at the University of Newcastle traveled to Melbourne for the annual meeting of the Australasian Society for Mathematical Psychology. among the topics presented were Models of Memory, Consumer Choices, Methods for Estimating Cognitive Workload, and more.

Next year's meeting is planned to take place in Sydney. Newcastle will host the 2021 meeting of the society, and it'd be great to have locals and guests alike, so mark Feb 2021 in your calendars.
