Members

• Full membership is open to persons who are active and established researchers in some area of Cognitive Psychology. Such persons would normally have a Ph.D. or equivalent, and recent publications in refereed journals of psychology and cognate subjects. Exceptionally, at the discretion of the Committee, persons not fulfilling these criteria may be admitted to Full membership. Persons having Full membership shall be known as "Full members".
• Associate membership is open to persons in the initial stages of their research careers and who are active researchers in some area of Cognitive Psychology. Such persons would normally be working on their Ph.D. (or equivalent). Associate membership would normally be limited to a maximum of five years. Any extension would be at the discretion of the Committee. Persons having Associate membership shall be known as "Associate members".
• Retired membership Full members who retire can request a status of retired member. The committee defines the modalities under which this status is granted. Each year, the committee can elect a few full members for the status of honorary member. This status can be granted to full members who have been officers of the society and have contributed to the advancement of cognitive psychology in Europe. The duration of this status is limited in time. The committee defines the modalities (duration, how many each year, fees, …) under which honorary member status is granted.

The membership fee amounts to about €60 for full and affilliate members and to about €40 for associate members. It includes a subscription to the European Journal of Cognitive Psychology.
