After an extended delay because of COVID-19, we are pleased to announce that we have now rescheduled our NWVC research seminar series. These will be fully face-to-face research seminars that provide a chance to meet up and discuss research and we begin as planned with the first seminar at UCLan. Details of the subsequent research seminars will be released in due course.
This first seminar will mark the official launch of the North West Visual Cognition group. The selected presentations will illustrate one of the core principles of our group by focusing on the importance of investigating and explaining human behaviour using robust, scientific methodologies and psychological theory. This first seminar will focus on how the use of eye tracking has informed the field of human language processing and development. In this seminar we will not only consider psychological processes associated with human language comprehension (reading, speech perception), but also how those processes develop with age.
Abstract Submissions Now Open: We are pleased to invite authors to submit their abstracts for oral and poster presentations to be delivered at the 1st North-West Visual Cognition group seminar.
The seminar will take place in the School of Psychology at UCLan (Preston) on Tuesday 5th July 2022. We welcome abstracts that relate to how the use of eye tracking has informed the field of human language processing and development. There are three sub-themes as follows:
Eye Movements and Reading
