Report On ….. The Cognition Symposium at the Biennial Conference of the Australian Institute of Aboriginal Studies Canberra – May, 1974.

Abstract

The Cognition Seminar was held over two days in Canberra, May 27th. and May 28th.

A wide range of papers was presented by Australian psychologists. Also we were fortunate to have the stimulation of a number of overseas speakers.

The overseas visitors who are well known in studies involving various minority groups were Professor R.W. Brislin and Professor T. Ciborowski from the East-West Centre at Hawaii, Professor H.C. Triandis from the University of Illinois, U.S.A., Professor U. Pareek from India and Professor L.W. Doob from Yale University.

Teachers will, I think, be interested to see the variety of issues that were discussed at the two-day symposium. The program for the two days indicates this diversity
