Two new publications on spatial-numerical associations

After going through a preregistration and review process with the new and convincing peer community in (PCI), two new articles are in press in JEP:LMC and Royal Society Open Science!🥳

Congratulations to doctoral students Lilly Roth and Annika Tave Overlander as well as former Bachelor and Master student John Caffier in getting these articles from our eSNARC project published along with their mentors, supervisors, and collaborators!🎆

The two articles are:

Roth, L., Caffier, J., Reips, U.-D., Cipora, K., Braun, A., & Nuerk, H.-C. (in press). True colors SNARCing: Semantic number processing is highly automatic. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition.

Roth, L., Caffier, J., Reips, U.-D., Nuerk, H.-C., Overlander, A. T., & Cipora, K. (in press). One and only SNARC? Spatial-Numerical Associations are not fully flexible and depend on both relative and absolute number magnitude. Royal Society Open Science.

📢 Welcome Tim Angelike!

We are thrilled to welcome Tim Angelike to the iScience team! 🎉 We first crossed paths at the 2023 Psychonomic Society meeting, affiliated with SCIP, in San Francisco, where we had some fascinating discussions on shared research interests—particularly around randomness. The synergy between his work and our team’s focus was clear from the start. The inspiring nature of these conversations was further highlighted during his talk about randomness in human-generated numbers at our university.

As an avid user of internet-based research methods (just like us! 😉), Dr. Angelike brings valuable expertise to the table, and we’re excited to collaborate and learn from each other. We’re sure he will continue to hone those skills here and push the boundaries of online data collection.

Here’s to many exciting projects and breakthroughs ahead! 🚀


🍾 International Birthday Symposium celebrating 30 years of Web experimenting – September 11, 2024

🥳 We celebrated a milestone in both life and science! With Ulf-Dietrich Reips we marked 30 years of pioneering Internet-based experimentation and his 60th birthday with a symposium on September 11, 2024, at the University of Konstanz in its Data Theatre (ZT 1204).

💬 This special event featured insightful talks by distinguished researchers Michael Birnbaum (California State University Fullerton), Tom Buchanan (University of Westminster, London), Mario Callegaro (Google Research), and Jochen Musch (Unversity of Düsseldorf) and many video messages from around the world. Additionally, the international as well as local guests got to know a bit more of the culture of Konstanz in a tour around its city hall in the old town.

The iScience team would like to thank everyone who attended, sent greetings, photos or videos and all in all made this day very special to all of us. We hope to have built the basis for many fruitful future collaborations for the next 30 years of web-based experimenting! ✨
