Title: “Forty years of research on numerical cognition: Summing it up”.
Speaker: Jo-Anne LeFevre
Abstract: In July, I was the recipient of the Donald O. Hebb award for “significant contributions to the study of Brain, Behaviour, and Cognitive science” in Canada. Accordingly, I had the opportunity to discuss my research and other scholarly activities in a presentation to the Canadian Society for Brain, Behaviour, and Cognitive Science. In this talk, I will repeat that presentation, slightly modified, covering the highlights of my research, supervision, and service activities in relation to the evolution of cognitive science in Canada.
