Posters/Demonstrations-. Printed displays of information, usually reporting empirical research and/or "hands-on" demonstrations (e.g., computer programs). Poster/Demonstration presentations are scheduled together at a special session of 60 minutes during which the presenters are available to discuss their research.

NOTE: Posters/Demonstrations may be submitted up to March 1, 1999.

Panel, Discussions: Responses to a specific issue by several presenters. Time will

be allocated for interaction among the panel of speakers as well as with the audience. Each panel discussion is allotted 45 minutes. Panel discussions must be organized and submitted by a chair who will also serve as the session's moderator.

Guest Speakers

At our 1999 convention, ISB is pleased to feature Dr. Willard van Orman Quine as the B. F. Skinner Memorial Speaker. Members of the Harvard Society of Fellows for many years, Drs. Quine and Skinner shared a passion for the development of a naturalistic epistemology and an empirical analysis of the function of verbal behavior.

We are also pleased to announce that this year's invited speaker is Dr. James A. Dinsmoor, Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Indiana University. His major research interests include conditioned reinforcement, stimulus control, and the aversive control of behavior.

The International Society for Behaviorology (formerly TIBA) was founded in 1989 to promote the science of behavior. The convention provides a forum for the exchange of information about the science of behavior. Sessions are organized on a single track so that attendees can participate in all events.
