As we adapt to all the ways COVID-19 is changing our world, an incredible team of scientists have come together for the latest Psychonomic Society Digital Event to discuss innovative ideas on how to conduct high-quality research quickly, evaluate it quickly, assemble and manage the body of knowledge efficiently that is continually evaluated by a growing community, and disseminate the findings to decision-makers and the public quickly. New posts are being published daily.

New AP&P Special Issue, Part 2
"40 Years of Feature Integration:
Special Issue in Memory of Anne Treisman"
|
|
|
"When we announced a special issue of Attention Perception and Psychophysics to mark the 40th anniversary of Feature Integration Theory (A. Treisman & Gelade,
1980
), we might have been getting a bit ahead of ourselves. It was 2018 and Treisman’s seminal paper had come out in 1980. In the end, our timing was perfect. Here it is, 2020, and here we offer up the second part of '40 Years of Feature Integration: Special Issue in Memory of Anne Treisman.'"
