A CBBC Workshop
Location and date
New Research Building Auditorium (to be confirmed)
Georgetown University
Friday, March 28th, 2008

Goals of the workshop
The workshop aims to bring together researchers, students and funders who are interested in various cognitive and neural aspects of retention, attrition, and aging in language and memory, but who generally do not interact much – in particular people from the Cognitive Neuroscience community who study memory or language, and researchers from the fields of Bilingualism and Second Language Acquisition (SLA).Cristina Sanz and Michael Ullman, Organizers
