Last January 2020, I stepped into the position of the Psychonomic Society Digital Content Editor. My very first post in that role was titled “New Year New Cognitive Science,” and with optimism, the post began with, We have much to look forward to in the New Year, including reading and hearing about new cognitive science […]
The 61st Annual Meeting of the Psychonomic Society is right around the corner, and to quote the song Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield: The conference is “So close you can almost taste it.” Now under usual circumstances, we all would be busily (some frantically) planning our travel to the conference. This might have included checking and […]
With just 16 days until the 61st Annual Meeting of the Psychonomic Society, we are all brimming over with excitement and anticipation. If you haven’t registered for the conference yet, be sure to register before November 16, 2020. You do not want to miss all the exciting research that will be presented at this year’s […]
If you haven’t already submitted your pre-recorded presentation for the 61st Annual Meeting of the Psychonomic Society, then you’re busily preparing it to meet the final deadline. The first deadlines have passed, and just as a reminder, the last deadline is quickly approaching: the 2nd of November for recorded talks. For the last several years, […]

A large part of my ‘surviving the crisis’ as a cognitive scientist and mother of two has involved engaging and continuously entertaining two little ones at home (a speedster 2-year-old who gets into everything and a prankster 4-year-old with a clever sense of humor). One way my husband and I have found to cope is […]
When confronted with the Black Death in the middle ages, leading authorities resorted to analysis of the position of the planets —Jupiter’s hostility against Mars features prominently— to explain the plague. Today, authorities rely mainly on science to explain and manage the COVID-19 pandemic. The success of this is borne out in countries such as […]
When it became clear that the world was about to change from the global pandemic, the Psychonomic Society went into action. The Governing Board Chair, Jim Pomerantz, contacted me (I think because I am the Editor-in-Chief of a PS journal, Learning & Behavior) to suggest that we might be able to help stem the spread […]
I met with Annika Boldt and Sam Gilbert (pictured below) to interview them about their paper recently published in the Psychonomic Society journal Cognitive Principles: Research and Implications called “Confidence guides spontaneous cognitive offloading.” When we do something to minimize cognitive demands, we are offloading. This is especially common when we write notes and set alerts, for […]
Jennifer Coane and I chatted about how her life as an academic has changed as a result of COVID-19, her recent paper with Kimberly Bourne, Sarah Boland, and Grace Arnold (pictured below) published in Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, and what the results of that research may mean during these challenging times. The paper is called “Reading […]
