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 is bi-annual, full members 120€, associate members 80€, plus additional banking costs. It is possible to put a standing order for annual payments. Details are distributed on the payment form.
The fee includes a subscription to the Journal of Cognitive Psychology.
