The Nineties

The Nineties: a society flourishes (1990 - 2000)

In the nineties, ESCoP continued to develop. The largest increase of membership had been during the first few years after ESCoP came into being, so the amount of members stabilized somewhat in this period. Cognitive psychology as a field continued to develop, became more established, and ESCoP, being there almost from the start, quickly became a very influential factor in the field.

The ESCoP meetings also started to make their mark in the world of cognitive psychology. Whereas, during the first five years of its existence only three meetings were held, these scientific conferences started to become an almost yearly event during the nineties, with conferences held in locations like Paris, Rome, Lissabon and even Jerusalem.
