The HFES Meeting was held in Philadelphia September 2-6 and there were a number of activities relevant to research on aging. Tim Salthouse and Dan Morrow gave invited addresses in a session entitled "Expertise and Aging Effects in the Aviation Domain". There were also two paper sessions devoted to aging research: "Aging and Cognitive Processes" and "Aging and Technology". The Arnold M. Small Student Paper Award for the Aging Technical Group was awarded to Richard A. Sit for his paper entitled "Retention of multiple task performance: Age-related differences". Richard is a graduate student in the Engineering Psychology Program at Georgia Institute of Technology.
