2008 Annual Convention

May 22-25, 2008
Chicago

The 20th Annual Convention will be held May 22-25, 2008, in Chicago, IL. Program highlights can be found on our Web site at www.psychologicalscience.org/convention, and will be updated regularly as the convention approaches.

APS welcomes and encourages you to take part in our three themed programs; specifically, Learning Competitiveness and Real-World Achievement. This symposium includes research in cognitive, educational, social and organizational psychology along with cutting edge presentations on learning and performance at all levels. It addresses how learning, achievement, motivation and emotions interact with learning and performance processes producing failure or success; and promoting cooperation or competition.
