[CogSci] Call for Papers: American Journal of Psychology Gordon Logan & Robert Proctor

[Woods, Michelle]

The American Journal of Psychology is seeking submissions for two upcoming special issues: the first is A Festschrift of Professor Gordon Logan's Lifetime Contribution to Cognitive Psychology, for which submissions are due January 9, 2025, and the second is In Honor and Memory of Dr. Robert W. Proctor, for which submissions are due on May 8, 2025. See below for more details. The following announcements are also available on our website: https://www.press.uillinois.edu/journals/?id=ajp&tab=Call%20for%20Papers

Special Issue: A Festschrift of Professor Gordon Logan's Lifetime Contribution to Cognitive Psychology
On behalf of the American Journal of Psychology (AJP), which has published original research in experimental psychology covering the science of mind and behavior continuously since 1887, we are honored to invite submissions for a 2025 AJP special issue: a Festschrift of Professor Gordon Logan's lifetime contribution to cognitive psychology.
Currently Vanderbilt University's Centennial Professor of Psychology, Prof. Logan earned his PhD in Experimental Psychology at McGill University in 1975. The 50th anniversary of his doctorate also marks 50 years of outstanding scientific contributions to our knowledge of automaticity, attention, cognitive control, and serial memory. Thus, AJP is pleased to call on researchers who can speak to the influence of Prof. Logan's work on their own work, especially on automaticity and cognitive control.
Submitted manuscripts should indicate in the cover letter the intent to be included in this special issue and should align with the focal areas above. They may be reviews linking the authors' work to Prof. Logan's, may discuss methodology/experimental paradigms the authors use due to Prof. Logan's influence, or may introduce new experimental data in a pursuit directly related to the theme of the issue.
Deadline for manuscript submission is January 9, 2025. Manuscripts must be submitted via Scholastica: https://press-ajp.scholasticahq.com/for-authors<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/press-ajp.scholasticahq.com/for-authors__;!!DZ3fjg!_T6f7LwqUAFaWlFH-0H66KKLUPXZyQOwQ7m8yiO648ygeeEShANx_jCJ2Qhf1dNJqiu-WWnrtzcimRT6U150Po3gbsM$>

Special Issue: In Honor and Memory of Dr. Robert W. Proctor
Dr. Robert W. Proctor, AJP Editor from 2009 to his passing in 2023, made many significant contributions to advance the knowledge of action selection through his work on stimulus-response compatibility effects.  Research on compatibility effects not only provides insight on the cognitive processes that mediate perception and action but is also one of the foundational principles for design.  Dr. Proctor was also an advocate of rigor in psychological science and his methodological papers provided a critical analysis of how psychology is studied and how psychologists could better communicate their views and assumptions with each other and to those outside the discipline.  In his vast scholarship on basic and applied research, he contributed to topics such as attention, human information processing, action selection and stimulus-response compatibility, skill acquisition and training, human-system integration, cybersecurity, human-computer interaction, human-automation interaction, and web design.

In this upcoming special issue, we would like to celebrate the contributions of Dr. Proctor as a "complete psychologist" who had broad knowledge of both basic and applied research.  Thus, we are pleased to invite researchers to submit manuscripts on basic and applied research in any area inspired by Dr. Proctor's prior publications, including, for example, studies on compatibility effects, applied research on cybersecurity and human-computer/system/automation interaction, and on the science of psychology and its research methods.

Submitted manuscripts should indicate in the cover letter the intent to be included in this special issue.

Deadline for manuscript submission is May 8, 2025. Manuscripts must be submitted via Scholastica: https://press-ajp.scholasticahq.com/for-authors<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/press-ajp.scholasticahq.com/for-authors__;!!DZ3fjg!_T6f7LwqUAFaWlFH-0H66KKLUPXZyQOwQ7m8yiO648ygeeEShANx_jCJ2Qhf1dNJqiu-WWnrtzcimRT6U150Po3gbsM$>
