As I write this post, the coronavirus continues to spread across the world. In response, governments have put in place recommendations to self-isolate, create social (physical) distancing, or imposed flat-out lockdowns. One obvious implication for psychological researchers is that we can no longer conduct experiments face-to-face in our labs. Many of us have therefore been […]
I’m delighted to welcome Jonathan Caballero and Travis Seale-Carlisle to the digital team as our newest Digital Associate Editors. Jonathan is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at McGill University. His main research interest involves the influences of perception on social interactions. He is currently investigating how communication impairments associated with Parkinson’s disease impacts social interactions. The […]
We rarely listen to just one stream of information at a time. Whether we are at a dinner party, on a crowded bus, or talking on the phone while walking down a busy street, more often than not there are multiple voices that compete for our attention. People are generally very good at focusing on […]
One of the Psychonomic Society’s journals, Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, offers a class of articles known as “tutorial reviews”. The tutorial review mechanism is intended to serve as a high-level introductory review of relatively broad topics that fall within the domain of the journal. Tutorial reviews may be an attractive mechanism for authors looking to […]
This post was co-authored by Timothy Welsh. In May of 2018, the Psychonomic Society Leading Edge Workshop titled “Time for Action: Reaching for a Better Understanding of the Dynamics of Cognition” was held in Amsterdam. The overarching goal of the workshop was to share and discuss data and theoretical perspectives that advance the understanding of […]
(This post was co-authored by Thomas L. Griffiths). Since Wilhelm Wundt established the first university psychology laboratory over 100 years ago, relatively little has changed in how we gather data in psychological science. Technology and statistical methods have evolved, but experiments are still run primarily by individual brick-and-mortar laboratories, test specific hypotheses, and rely on […]
Given all that has been recently written about the current state of psychology and the challenges that we face as a field, I am happy to say that the 50th anniversary of the Atkinson-Shiffrin model and the special issue in Memory and Cognition celebrating it couldn’t have been timelier. Although highly cited (over 10,000 times, […]
There are some tasks that require cognitive processes that are habitual, automatic, and to some degree effortless, such as seeing a word and automatically reading it or seeing two numbers and automatically processing their magnitudes (e.g., seeing 5 and 3 and perceiving 5 to be greater). There are other tasks that require cognitive processes that […]
As we approach a new academic year—at least in the northern hemisphere—there have been some changes on the digital team. Richard Morey has decided to withdraw from the team owing to his other editorial commitments. We are sad to see Richard go because he has been doing a terrific job covering the areas of methodology […]
Reproducibility is the hallmark of science. It has been argued that a finding needs to be repeatable to count as a scientific discovery and that replicability is a line of demarcation that separates science from pseudoscience. The fact that a recent large replication effort of 100 studies found that fewer than half of cognitive and social psychology […]
