SARMAC Regional Meeting Down Under - Adelaide, Australia, 2018
February 6th - 8th
The SARMAC Regional Meeting Down Under is designed to bring together academics and PhD students in Australia who share an interest in applied cognitive psychology research. The event organisers share a common interest in eyewitness research, however the meeting will be suitable for attendees from a variety of research fields (e.g., forensic, cognitive, social). Over three days, attendees will have the opportunity to develop skills in computational modelling and Bayesian analysis, attend and participate in research presentations, and network in a friendly and relaxed environment.
And - in the spirit of good science and building collaborations - registration is free!
The Regional Meeting will include three workshops, designed to develop computational modelling skills and the learning of new statistical techniques and software. In particular, Dr Carolyn Semmler will deliver 'An Introduction to Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Signal Detection Theory applications to Eyewitness Identification Data', and Associate Professor Nathan Weber will deliver two workshops: 'An Introduction to Bayesian Analysis in Applied Psychology' and 'Using R to Visualise Data'.
