Professor Simmering discussed her research in visual working memory, focusing on proposed neuro-developmental mechanisms underlying capacity increases during the preschool years. Professor Vlach presented her research that connects memory development and forgetting with children's science learning in educational interventions. Professor Wager examines these ideas through a practice based approach as she discussed ways in which pre-K teachers facilitate young children's mathematical learning as they engage in play. Finally, Professor Graue brought in her expertise in early childhood to facilitate discussion among the audience and the presenters.
