The International Symposium
on
"Inhibitory
Processes in the Mind"
Clock Tower Centennial Hall,
Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan
14th and 15th January 2006
"Inhibition" is an important concept in many areas of psychology. The frequent appearance of this term in the literature suggests that it is useful for describing a number of mental processes and that it is a key factor in understanding various human behaviors. Approaches to understanding inhibitory processes in the mind are diverse, including neuroscientific, developmental, clinical, and pure cognitive psychological approaches. The goal of this symposium is to demonstrate the broad contribution these different disciplines make to our understanding of inhibition, to unite recent major findings, and to share the advantages of an interdisciplinary approach for exploring phenomena related to mental inhibitory processes. We believe that communication across different disciplines that are potentially connected can facilitate new theoretical developments in the field. Based on this perspective, we have planned this international symposium with the aim of providing a forum for discussion by researchers from different backgrounds.
