Join the workshop Department of Psychology Computing Research Lab

Online workshop on the Effects of Environmental Stress on Cognition
Due to the distributed nature of interested researchers we have decided to organize the workshop as a series of position papers. These will be made available on the web to participants. All participants are encouraged to discuss and provide feedback to the papers authors, who will then respond with their opinions. After a period of four months the authors will produce a final version of their papers and these will be assembled into the workshop proceedings and published. The total time period needed is six months (to the end of March 2006).

The papers should address one or more of the following questions.

  1. Why would one, based on theory (of stress or cognition), expect that extreme environments would affect cognition and what effects would one expect?
  2. What evidence is there that there are cognitive effects?
  3. What methods and measures can be used to investigate the effects of stress on cognition?
  4. If there are effects what approaches can we take to alleviate the effects?
We will invite two authors to produce papers on each topic. Invited authors will come from the government research agencies, companies and academia. Other participants can also volunteer papers on their research.

The web site and instructions for use will be produced by the 16th September and will be advertised at the HPEE workshop on the 24th September.
