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 impact may be mediated by deficits in theory of mind, which was the topic of the poster that he presented in Montreal at the last Annual Meeting.
Jonathan is a self-proclaimed “language freak.” In and out of the lab, Jonathan speaks four languages – Spanish, English, French, and Portuguese – and is picking up two more – Japanese and Russian. He plays various sports for fun, including dodgeball, rappelling, fencing, water polo, and skateboarding.

Travis is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at Duke University where he is investigating ways to improve the criminal justice system. I have known Travis since he was an undergraduate student working in the lab of John Wixted (former Editor-in-Chief of Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, current Associate Editor of Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, and keynote speaker at the latest International Meeting; watch the keynote address here). Travis crossed the pond to the UK to earn his Ph.D. under my supervision. One of Travis’s first Ph.D. projects was to compare memory performance when tested on police lineups as they are administered in the US and UK (spoiler alert: US lineups outperformed UK lineups).
Travis embraced British culture by taking up rowing when he moved to the UK, and his two favorite hobbies are playing chess and basketball – but not at the same time.

Welcome to the team, Jonathan and Travis!
