|
Different perceptual strategies in auditory processing
Speaker: Leah Fostick
Ariel University, Israel
May 22, 2024
11:15 AM - 1 PM U.S. Eastern Time | Register Now
Abstract
Does everyone perceive stimuli in the same manner? Similar perceptual processes are assumed for people with similar sensory, perceptual, and cognitive abilities. However, an increasing number of studies show differences in the ways participants perform different tasks, despite similar abilities. More.
All talks in the One World Seminar Series are underwritten by the Psychonomic Society and made available free of charge. The Society is committed to programmatic accessibility and has secured ASL interpretation and closed captioning for all One World events in the 2023-2024 academic year.

Double-blind Peer Review for
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review to Begin Shortly
In line with efforts to make publishing more accessible globally and at all career stages, we will pilot double-blind peer review for Psychonomic Bulletin & Review. Double-blind review masks author identities from reviewers, and vice versa, to minimize potential biases. The Governing Board has approved a one-year double-blind pilot, after which we will evaluate its impacts by comparing against the prior single-blind process. Analyses will cover submission numbers, review quality, biases, anonymization issues, and author/reviewer surveys. Guidelines will assist authors in writing anonymously, publishing preprints, and self-citation practices.
The editorial board will establish clear, fair, and open criteria defining the pilot's success upfront. If double-blind review does not continue after the pilot, reasons will be transparent per these criteria. Through this initiative, we aim to improve the publishing process in line with global best practices for accessibility and ethical evaluation.

The psychological reality of the learned "p < .05" boundary
| By V. N. Vimal Rao, Jeffrey K. Bye & Sashank Carma | |
Rao and colleagues found that graduate students, unlike undergraduates, were sensitive to the .05 boundary for statistical significance. They suggested that this sensitivity is learned through training and exposure to the literature. This effect was not linked to endorsements of questionable research practices. Read this paper.

By Simone Sulpizio, Fritz Günther, et al. | |
Taboo language and its variations across languages and populations are poorly understood. In a multi-lab collaboration, the authors compiled a comprehensive database of taboo words from 13 languages across 17 countries. Taboo words were characterized by low valence and high arousal and were rarely used in written language. Read this paper.

By Melanie Labusch, Jon Andoni Duñabeitia & Manuel Perea | |
Labusch et al. investigated brand names embedded in logotypes to test theoretical accounts of word recognition. Two experiments showed longer response times for altered brand names, favoring accounts that posit lexical memory traces may encompass surface perceptual details. Read this paper.
