Attention Perception & Psychophysics

The overarching goal of this special issue is to provide a dedicated space for empirical and review papers that advance the understanding of how cognition and action systems are integrated and operate synergistically. This knowledge of how humans efficiently interact and navigate in complex environments is vital for generating a comprehensive understanding of human behavior and will help shape the design of everyday objects and training and working environments. It is evident that the products of our cognitive processes are expressed through our actions. Historically, the transformation of sensory inputs into action has been treated as a set of relatively unidirectional processing events with the results of low-level sensory and earlier perceptual processes informing higher-order cognitive processes until a decision is made to respond, at which point the action system receives its instructions. Given this compartmentalized approach, it may not be too surprising that there has been relatively little interaction between researchers in cognitive and motor domains. Thus, until recently, a deeper understanding of human behavior has been hindered because little attention has been paid to the broader context of action and how action processes are embedded in the larger canvas of visual attention, memory, learning, decision-making and interpersonal interaction. We seek contributions from researchers across multiple areas, including but not limited to, psychology, neuroscience, kinesiology, and human-computer interactions, to share and critically evaluate their cutting-edge theoretical, empirical, and translational developments. Submissions could be in the format of empirical pieces reporting new results from original research, targeted reviews, or interesting viewpoints. The special issue will have a broad scope encompassing experimental, theoretical, computational, and clinical studies, as well as methodological approaches. Authors who are interested in submitting a review or viewpoint paper are highly recommend to submit a pre-submission inquiry of approximately 1 page to the guest editors by August 1, 2018. If you have any question about a possible submission, please contact one of the guest editors.All submissions will undergo normal, full peer review, maintaining the same high editorial standards for regular submissions to Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics. Manuscripts should include a cover letter indicating that the submission is for the special issue, “Time for Action: Reaching for a better understanding of the dynamics of cognition”.Because this is a journal special issue, not an edited book, the deadline is firm; our intention is to publish the special issue 6-8 months after the submission deadline. Revisions invited by the guest editors will be expected within two months of receipt of the editorial decision letter and reviews.The journal Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics is an official journal of the Psychonomic Society. It spans all areas of research in sensory processes, perception, attention, and psychophysics. Most articles published are reports of experimental work; the journal also presents theoretical, integrative, and evaluative reviews. Founded in 1966 as Perception & Psychophysics, the journal assumed its present name in 2009.The journal also encourages studies with a neuroscientific perspective that enhance our understanding of attention, perception, and psychophysics.

Attention Perception & Psychophysics期刊中文简介

本期特刊的首要目标是为实证和评论论文提供一个专门的空间，以促进对认知和行动系统如何集成和协同运作的理解。关于人类如何在复杂环境中高效互动和导航的知识对于全面理解人类行为至关重要，并将有助于塑造日常物品的设计、培训和工作环境。很明显，我们认知过程的产物是通过我们的行为来表达的。从历史上看，将感官输入转化为行动被视为一组相对单向的处理事件，其结果是低水平的感官和较早的知觉过程通知高阶认知过程，直到做出响应的决策，此时行动系统收到指令。考虑到这种划分的方法，研究人员在认知和运动领域的互动相对较少也就不足为奇了。因此，直到最近，对人类行为的更深层次的理解一直受到阻碍，因为很少有人关注更广泛的行动背景，以及行动过程是如何嵌入到更大的视觉注意力、记忆、学习、决策和人际互动的画布上的。我们寻求来自多个领域的研究人员的贡献，包括但不限于，心理学，神经科学，运动机能学和人机交互，以分享和批判性地评估他们的前沿理论，经验和翻译的发展。提交的内容可以是经验文章的形式，报告来自原始研究的新结果、有针对性的评论或有趣的观点。这个特别的问题将有一个广泛的范围，包括实验，理论，计算，临床研究，以及方法学的方法。有兴趣提交评论或观点文章的作者，强烈建议在2018年8月1日前向客座编辑提交一份约1页的预提交查询。如果您对可能的投稿有任何疑问，请联系我们的客座编辑。所有提交的论文都将经过正常的、全面的同行评审，并保持与定期提交的注意力、感知和心理物理学论文相同的高编辑标准。手稿应包括一封封面信，表明提交的是特刊《行动的时间:更好地理解认知的动态》。因为这是期刊特刊，不是编辑过的书，截稿日期是确定的;我们打算在截止日期后6-8个月出版特刊。由客座编辑邀请的修改将在收到编辑决定函和评论后的两个月内进行。《注意、知觉与心理物理学》是心理经济学会的官方期刊。它涵盖了感觉过程、知觉、注意力和心理物理学的所有研究领域。发表的文章多为实验工作报告;该杂志还提供理论，综合和评价的评论。《认知与心理物理学》创刊于1966年，2009年更名为《认知与心理物理学》。该杂志还鼓励从神经科学的角度进行研究，以增强我们对注意力、知觉和心理物理学的理解。如需与编辑有关的查询，请致电mdodd2@unl.edu与主编迈克·多德博士联系关于ScholarOne投稿系统的问题，请联系journals@psychonomic.org《注意知觉与心理物理学》是心理经济学会的期刊，致力于在科学出版和实践中坚持诚信原则。作为出版伦理委员会(COPE)的成员，该杂志将遵循COPE关于处理潜在专业不端行为程序的指导方针。
