How can the Psychonomic Society’s publications and digital content help with teaching cognitive psychology? With the “learning groups” feature!

Dobby. Dobby did it! We have a new and powerful platform for the Featured Content section of the Psychonomic webpage. The team of elves at TRG (a Hogwarts subsidiary) has worked tirelessly behind the scences to convert all our existing content to the new platform.
