CEMS 2019

The 17th Annual Context and Episodic Memory Symposium (CEMS2021) was held at The Logan Hotel, in Philadelphia, PA, on August 16th and 17th, 2021. Every year, the symposium provides a forum for the exchange of ideas among colleagues working on theoretical and empirical approaches to the study of context and episodic memory, broadly construed. All presentations at CEMS 2021 were delivered in person. Our program committee decided to use CEMS2021 to highlight the work of younger investigators, particularly postdocs and junior faculty. These two groups were prioritized for spoken presentations. All other groups who submitted work (senior faculty, graduate students) were given poster presentations.
