Next meeting:Attention:An interview with Michael Posner

Topic for next week: Attention: An Interview with Michael Posner.

Wednesday, 16th January, 8pm.

Michael Posner, a very famous cognitive psychologist, with a special interest in attention visited Belgium at the end of 2007, where he received an honorary doctorate from the VUB.

He very kindly allowed me and Joanne Norris of the family ADHD group to interview him for the groups.

We talked about his resent research on meditation and attention. But also a range of other topics including the experience of flow, training attention (can it be trained? mainly for children with ADHD) and a tip for maintaining concentration.
