A selfie of me in front of a winding brook with a decent amount of snow coating the swampy shore and accumulating on the trees lining both banks. It's a grey, heavily snowing day. I'm a middle-aged white man with a red beard flecked with white. I'm wearing a black running jacket with the hood pulled up and black sunglasses. Big snowflakes are on my hood, glasses, and beard

The snow made for absolutely stunning scenery during my run, which I enjoyed while listening to talks for my #AcademicRunPlaylist!

First were talks from the Psychonomic Society's 2018 workshop:

Laurel Buxbaum - neurocognitive routes for tool use and transport https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ko5mpOGbTXk

Jeff Moher - fluctuations in focused attention during goal-directed action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CtLuDamb-k&t=6s

Joo-Hyun Song - paradoxical modulation of motor actions by attention https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9NGetRpYgc

Laura Thomas - vision prioritizes action-relevant information in grasping https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hATuYEiXCEg&t=10s

Melvyn Goodale - interactions between dorsal and ventral visual streams in skilled movement production https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPOzfxdCtEw

Paul Cisek - evolutionary history of integrated cognition and action, highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFf3MkSihEk&t=17s

Next was an amazing talk by John Wixted on recognition memory in the lab and the real world at the Psychonomic Society. Wixted shows some shocking data from eyewitness identification settings, demonstrating how important measuring confidence is (among other things). Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YZzQoM6rLOM

Next was an excellent talk by Naomi Oreskes on the different players that inculcated a distrust of government and an unadulterated faith in the "free market" at the Santa Fe Institute. Can't wait to read the book! Highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_V_AZRZfu9I

Next was an interesting talk by Dedre Gentner on the relational mind at the Psychonomic Society https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pog4aMSPdts

Next was a thought-provoking talk by Gary Lupyan on hidden differences in subjective experience at SFI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dso7KOGcUyw

Next was a great talk by Randall Engle on working memory capacity and intelligence at the Psychonomic Society https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0wyyfpj640

Next was an intriguing talk by Roberta Klatzky on perception and action in the wild at the Psychonomic Society https://youtu.be/Odb-RSHZRkc?si=xLUlvbk0yJNpmw6w&t=1420

Last were talks at the Psychonomic Society's 2016 meeting:

John Duncan - frontoparietal control systems in assembly of cognitive episodes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oZ-KfgtXk0

Eleanor Maguire - the what, where, why, and how of memory, highly recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MPhIZjM1_I
