The SPARK Society wants to increase the visibility of #Black, #Latino/a/e, and #Indigenous scholars by pairing them with a nominator for their Psychonomic Fellow application!

2. You know someone who should be nominated
3. You want yourself to be nominated and would like Spark to assist.

I had a great time chatting with APA about how psychology can help people make better decisions.

Spoiler: more effective communication, such as #datavis can help people understand future events!

I recently gave an interview for Vox magazine about why we forget, and was surprised to find Daniel Schacter interviewed alongside. Nothing new here for my memory friends, but others might find this interesting. https://www.vox.com/even-better/23537229/improve-your-memory-concentration-tips

Your memory probably isn’t as bad as you think.

#Commentary Papers and Review Articles that:

Introduce new theoretical ideas, methods, and/or approaches to studying cognitive psychology.
Map basic cognitive psychology research onto applied and translational science.

#Discussion_papers that debate or discuss a specific topic in Cognitive Psychology from multiple perspectives.

#Special _Issues and Manuscripts that focus on

examining cognition in context.
combining complementary theories and/or findings from distinct research traditions.

In the 2 years I have left as
#editor at Memory & Cognition I plan to offer a space for considering #cognition in context.

M&C will now accept new types of articles, in addition to the quantitative empirical articles we traditionally publish.
