Dr Jaimie Northam (USYD) & Priya Vaughan (USYD) Title: A new age for youth mental health: practical considerations for research and practice Abstract: Youth mental health has been recognised as research priority by the Australian government with the goal of reducing long term harm and social and economic costs. Lived experience participation and engagement has […]
Dr Graeme Hoddinott (USYD) Title: Applying psychology (socio-behavioural science) to tuberculosis – acceptability, value, and preferences Abstract: When I was a psychology student, I thought I was going to be ‘a psychologist’.

Within the meta-reasoning framework, […]

I’ll provide some background as […]
Prof Ed Awh (University of Chicago) Title: Content-independent pointers mediate storage in working memory Abstract: Although past neural studies of working memory (WM) have focused on stimulus-specific activity that tracks the stored feature values, a separate line of evidence has revealed neural signals that track the number of items in WM, independent of the contents […]
