Individual Differences in Concept Learning: Persistence from Laboratory to Classroom
Speaker: Mark McDaniel

Seminar Description
We, along with others, have found that individuals vary in whether they rely on abstraction (e.g., rule-learning) or exemplar learning for acquiring and representing laboratory concepts. In this talk, I describe our findings that reveal that a particular learner’s tendency (relying primarily on abstraction or exemplar learning) can persist across very different concept-learning laboratory tasks. Next, I examine whether this individual difference, based on a laboratory concept learning assessment, extends to complex, authentic learning in science classes. Based on our experiments in chemistry and biology classes I build the case that these individual differences are present in classroom learning and have important consequences. More.
All talks in the One World Seminar Series are underwritten by the Psychonomic Society and made available free of charge. The Psychonomic Society is committed to programmatic accessibility and has secured ASL interpretation and quality closed captioning for all One World events in the 2022-2023 schedule.

2023 Annual Meeting
Call for Special Symposium
| |
|
In 2020, the Governing Board, based on the recommendation of the Task Force on Racial Justice, created a special symposium to be held at the Annual Meeting to investigate the topics of diversity, inclusion, and equity in our field. Past symposia have addressed topics such as Seeing Race in Cognitive Psychology, Moving Beyond Cognitive Universals, and Facilitating Belonging, Inclusion, and Equity in STEM.
For this year's Annual Meeting, we are inviting proposals for this special symposium. Organizers are encouraged to bring in speakers who may be outside of our area of research; limited travel funds are available, as well as complimentary registration.
Special symposium proposals are due April 4, 2023. All symposium talks must be presented in-person. There will not be opportunities to present your research remotely. Please view the submission requirements here.

The Psychonomic Society Governing Board is pleased to announce the establishment of a new membership category for undergraduate students effective January 1st. The Undergraduate Student membership category is available now and is $15 USD per year to all eligible students.
Our first undergraduate student member, Parker Payne, comes from St. Petersburg, Florida, USA, and is majoring in Psychology at the University of South Florida. "I joined PS because as an undergraduate student it can be very difficult for us to gain access to the greater psychology world. Joining PS was a way for myself not only to gain access to research that may have previously been inaccessible but also broadens my network of people as I look to expand on my career decisions," shares Payne.
Please encourage the undergraduate students you know to join the PS community and get involved in the early stages of their career. More information about joining can be found here.

By Mario J. Baldassari et al.

The authors tested whether instructions given before encoding changed outcomes on a lineup. The instructions were to "watch the video" or "watch the video and you'll see a lineup later." No differences in discriminability or reliability between instruction types emerged. Read this paper.

To investigate whether participants from urban or rural areas, a low educational level, or university students perform differently, all viewed a video and answered a series of questions. The students had better metamemory and memory than participants in the other groups. Read this paper.

Viviani et al. designed and compared six spatial Stroop tasks (the perifoveal, navon, figure-ground, flanker, four-choice, and saliency). They claimed one - the Perifoveal spatial Stroop- has advantageous statistical and methodological properties. Read this paper.
