The working memory discussion meetings have now been running annually for well over 25 years. They offer an opportunity to engage in discussion of research about working memory in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. It is not intended to be a conference, but instead to provide an opportunity for those attending to present data, work-in-progress, and discuss recent theoretical and methodological developments.

There is therefore no formal programme as such; the meeting consists of short presentations, each followed by discussion and question sessions which are usually of around the same duration as the initial presentation. The order of presentations is decided at the beginning of the meeting, but importantly everyone attending who wishes to will have an opportunity to present something at some stage. On the other hand, there is no compulsion to give a presentation. The subject matter ranges widely, but should have at least some relevance to working memory, even if this is only in the most general way. Talks typically last 15 minutes, and are followed by at least 10 minutes of discussion and conversation.

In addition to the informal programme of talks and discussion, the meeting also offers the opportunity for enjoyable walks in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside, full access to the Parcevall Hall gardens and trips to one of the excellent local pubs in the evenings.
