Race is seldom considered in cognitive psychology research. Aside from an explosion of work on the cross-race effect during the heyday of eyewitness memory research, the Psychonomic Society rarely has more than a handful of abstracts that mention race.

This year, the Psychonomic Society's 2020 Annual Meeting will feature a special symposium, "Seeing Race in Cognitive Psychology." Co-chaired by Angela Gutchess (Brandeis University, USA) and Sarah E. Gaither (Duke University, USA), this symposium will illustrate ways in which acknowledging race in our methods is highly relevant to the study of human cognition. Read the full description.

"Seeing Race in Cognitive Psychology" will take place on Friday, November 20, from 2:00 - 4:00 PM EST. A Town Hall on Racism is also in development (more details to come). Make sure you have registered for the annual meeting and plan to attend!

Response of male and female domestic chicks to change in the number (quantity) of imprinting objects

By Bastien S. Lemaire, Rosa Rugani, Lucia Regolin & Giorgio Vallortigara 

In a recent set of experiments, Lemaire and colleagues investigated the numeric cognition of chicks. An interesting outcome was that female and male chicks use information about quantity differently depending on the objects' familiarity. The findings are linked to social structures before domestication. Read the article.
