<i>Visual Cognition</i> is pleased to announce a call for papers for a Special Issue focused on Teaching Sensation & Perception.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many of us who conduct research examining visual cognition also
spend a substantial fraction of our professional life teaching. In
particular, teaching Sensation & Perception is a common assignment
for many perception scientists. Approaches to teaching
this material vary widely, including the use of various demonstrations
of key phenomena, the inclusion of historical notes that describe the
development of core concepts, personal anecdotes, and a wide range of
assessment strategies. In this Special Issue,
we are looking to hear from authors about their approach to this
material, with a particular emphasis on sharing unique ideas about how
to provide effective instruction in Sensation & Perception classes
while also increasing student engagement with the topic.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We take a broad view of Sensation & Perception and will be
happy to include submissions that describe instructional strategies for
course material in other sensory modalities (e.g. Auditory perception,
Olfaction, etc.). To reflect the broad approaches
to teaching that contributors may use, we welcome submissions about the
following topics:</div>
<div>
<ul><li>Descriptions of successful (or unsuccessful) demonstrations of key phenomena.</li><li>Historical notes about the field that are relevant to pedagogy.</li><li>Assessment strategies</li><li>Novel course structures, including strategies for online and/or asynchronous delivery of course content.</li><li>Presentation of laboratory-based course components.</li><li>Reports describing research into the effectiveness of specific instructional strategies.</li><li>Descriptions of databases/repositories for S&P instructional materials.</li></ul>
</div>
<div> Authors with questions about the appropriateness of a topic for
this Special Issue should contact the Guest Editors, Dr. Anna
Kosovicheva (<a href="mailto:a.kosovicheva@utoronto.ca" target="_blank">a.kosovicheva@utoronto.ca</a>), Dr. Julia Strand (<a href="mailto:jstrand@carleton.edu" target="_blank">jstrand@carleton.edu</a>), and Dr. Ben Balas (<a href="mailto:benjamin.balas@ndsu.edu" target="_blank">benjamin.balas@ndsu.edu</a>)
with their inquiries.</div>
