With the deep development of the false memory, researchers have tried to give theoretical
explanations to the researches on relatedness effect in memory illusion. It can be generalized and
commented from four aspects: (1) theories based on partial coding theory, including Whittlesea's
SCAPE mocdl and Arndt's prototype familiarity illusion et al, (2) signal detection, cluding
Roediger & McDermott's false memory model and Miller & Wolford's standard shifting theory, (3)
fazzy-trace theory, (4) Schacter's constructive memory. This article also analyze and summarize
these models and put forward some suggestions for further research in future.

The rules and tools of intelligence: How IQ became obsolete, Jagannath Prasad Das,
Developmental Disabilities Center, University of Alberta, Canada
The world has changed since IQ was invented in the early part of the last century . The cognitive
revolution in Psychology and new techniques in Neuropsychology to study brain processes have
compelled psychologists and educators to rethink intelligence. Cognitive processes underlying
performance in intelligence tests are currently regarded as much more useful topic than IQ both
for research and application. .What are the theories that have made IQ obsolete and how the
cognitive approach has helped us understand difficulties in processing information , attending and
planning ? I discuss these in my address.

Control processes in the information of task units: The confluence of emerging properties and
intentional efforts, Daniel Gopher, Institute of Technology, Israel
Tasks are the elementary units of goal directed behavior. They encompass the structural and
dynamic constraints on performance, in the service of intentions or instructions, and are a joint
product of top down constraints and the properties of the environment. Information processing,
response, memory representations and performance competency are all developed within and
bounded by their respective task shells. The talk discusses and presents experimental evidence in
support of the primary role of control processes in the formation of task shells. Also discussed is
the interaction between control and environmental characteristics in the creation of units.

Conscious and unconscious cognition: A graded dynamic perspective, Axel Cleeremans,
Cognitive Science Research Unit, Universite Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium
The possibility of cognition without consciousness continues to elicit controversy. In this talk I
will review these developments and suggest that the ongoing search for the neural correlates of
consciousness should be complemented by a search for the computational correlates of
consciousness -- principles of information processing with which to characterize the differences
between conscious and unconscious processing. Starting from the perspective that any cognitive
