SLU PROFESSOR WRITES TEXT CHAPTER ON MEMORY

CANTON - St. Lawrence University Professor of Psychology Thomas 
F. Cunningham is the co-author of a textbook chapter on human memory.
	Cunningham and Alice F. Healy, professor of psychology at 
the University of Colorado in Boulder, co-wrote a chapter entitled 
"Recall of Order Information" in the text On Human Memory: Evolution, 
Progress and Reflections on the 30th Anniversary of the Atkinson-Shiffrin 
Model, recently published by Lawrence Erlbaum Publications.
	The chapter reports the results and theoretical implications of 
research Cunningham and Healy conducted over the past 15 years on the human 
ability to remember information about item order over relatively brief 
time intervals.
	Cunningham also presented a paper based on this work as part of 
a symposium entitled "Human Memory: Honoring the Atkinson-Shiffrin Model 
30 Years Later," conducted during the March meeting of the Southeastern 
Psychological Association in Savannah, Georgia.
	A member of the St. Lawrence faculty since 1969, Cunningham is a 
graduate of St. Peter's College, with a master's degree and Ph.D. from 
Oklahoma State University.
