The Psychonomic Society's 2021 Annual Meeting came to a close on November 7th. Over 3,500 scientists from dozens of countries around the world were registered. Attendees tuned in for Gary Dell's Keynote Address, five symposia, over a thousand talks and posters, and several special events.

All the talks were recorded and are now available online for on-demand viewing. If there were talks or posters you wanted to see but had to miss, or if you weren't able to join us for the conference but would like to catch up on the talks and posters, you may now do so. The library of recorded talks from the 2021 program will be available for free, on-demand viewing on the PS Virtual Meeting Platform through February 7, 2022.

If you registered for the meeting, simply login to the site to view the library. New visitors should follow the instructions here to gain access.

Post-Conference Survey
All meeting attendees will soon be receiving a link to a post-conference survey. The Society thanks you in advance for taking a few minutes to complete the survey and provide your candid feedback.
Sheraton Boston Hotel & Online
The Psychonomic Society's 2022 Annual Meeting has been scheduled for November 17-20, 2022, at the Sheraton Boston Hotel in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. It has been too long since we have all been able to meet in person! If you are able to join us in person in Boston next year, we hope you will do so. That said, all attendees will also have the option to tune in and join online if they prefer. Registration for the 2022 annual meeting will open in July. Mark the dates on your calendar and plan to join us!

2022 Call for Symposia
The call for symposia will be open from mid-March to late April. A symposium proposal should highlight new and emerging ideas that are likely to have broad influence in shaping future research, including ideas from related disciplines. Symposium selection is highly competitive; however, symposium submitters who are not selected for a symposium will have the option to submit their proposed talks as individual abstracts for the 2022 program.

2022 Call for Paper & Poster Abstracts
The call for paper and poster abstracts will be open from early April to early June. PS members may each submit one abstract. Applications for the J. Frank Yates Student Conference Awards and Graduate Conference Awards will open with the Call for Paper & Poster Abstracts in early April and will be accepted through May 15, 2022.
2022 Keynote Speaker
The Psychonomic Society is pleased to announce that Jeremy M. Wolfe (Harvard Medical School / Brigham and Women's Hospital) will present the Keynote Address at the 2022 Annual Meeting. The keynote address will be presented on Thursday, November 17, 2022 at 7:30 PM U.S. Eastern Time. More information, including the keynote abstract, will be released early next year.

Seminar Description
Individual differences in the speed of information processing are consistently related to individual differences in cognitive abilities. It is an open debate whether these associations can be explained in terms of individual differences in some brain-wide property affecting a large number of cognitive processes, or whether these advantages in processing speed reflect advantages in specific cognitive processes such as memory processes, attentional control, or evidence accumulation. I will demonstrate how mathematical models and electrophysiological approaches can be used to shed some light on these questions by decomposing the time-course of information processing and relating process parameters to cognitive abilities...

Call for Proposals:
PS 2022 Collaborative Symposium
Submission Deadline: Dec 31, 2021
The Psychonomic Society invites proposals to fund a collaborative symposium between the Psychonomic Society and the European Society for Cognitive Psychology (ESCoP). The collaborative symposium will be held in conjunction with the 22nd meeting of ESCoP in Lille, France, from August 29 – September 1, 2022. 

Overview
The collaborative symposium aims to strengthen the communication and collaboration between the Society and other international societies representing the field of experimental and cognitive psychology.

Selection Criteria & Application Process
The collaborative symposium will be evaluated on the following criteria: scientific quality, future impact, recent scientific breakthroughs and/or highlights, as well as the fit between the global structure and content of the scientific program of the selected conference and the proposed symposium. You are allotted one hour and 40 minutes and should have five, 15-minute talks, with five minutes for discussion following each talk.

The organizer of the symposium must be a current member of the Psychonomic Society. The organizer will receive up to $5,000 USD for expenses relating to the collaborative symposium. The organizer decides what expenses will be covered, but generally the support is used for airfare and/or hotels. Conference registration fees are usually covered by the symposium participants.

For more information and to submit a proposal, click here. Proposals are due December 31, 2021.

AP&P Special Issue
Selective attention enables us to focus on relevant information and to suppress distraction. In theory, selective attention can result from target enhancement, distractor suppression, or a balanced synergy of the two. While a lot of research has focused on the psychological and neural basis of target enhancement, the basis of distractor suppression is less clear... Full Description
