TriState (Plus) Conference
on Animal Learning & Behavior
TriState is the premiere animal
learning and behavior meeting in the Midwest. This
page provides a web home for the meeting. Archival information about
past meetings and available information about the upcoming meeting appear
here.
Description:
TriState(Plus) provides an opportunity for investigators of animal behavior
to get together regularly to discuss their work, share ideas, and generally
have a good time. The conference has occurred more or less annually
since 1987, and originally involved psychologists from Indiana, Kentucky,
& Ohio. Recent meetings have drawn people from Michigan, ...,
and even Ontario, Canada.
The conference is loosely organized at best - even the existence of this
web page bothers some regular attendees because it suggests a level of organization
that does not exist. Nonetheless, the conferences typically run smoothly
and offer lots of fertile scientific discussion.
TriState normally occurs in April or May, depending on the schedule of
the hosting institution. The conference typically lasts from early
afternoon on one day to lunchtime the next day. There is no registration
fee, and the host institution provides lodging, dinner, and breakfast.
