Special Issues

Measuring Behavior 2005 (August 2006: Vol. 38, No. 3)

Articles based on presentations made at the 5th International Conference on Methods and Techniques in Behavioral Research, held at Wageningen, The Netherlands, August 30 to September 2, 2005. Abstracts can be found at www.noldus.com/mb2005/index.html.

Electronic Archiving: Norms, Stimuli, and Data (August/November 2004: Vol. 36, Nos. 3 and 4)

The August/November 2004 issue of BRMIC focuses on a new component of the Psychonomic Web site, the Psychonomic Society Web-based archive of Norms, Stimuli, and Data. The Society has established an archival repository for a variety of materials that are of general utility to researchers in the many fields of experimental psychology. These materials are most usefully made available in electronic (rather than printed) form. The articles in the special issue describe more than 40 contributions to the Web-based archive:

• Norms for verbal and pictorial stimuli that may be useful to other researchers: 18 contributions of verbal and pictorial norms (imageability, free-association, picture naming, and word/bigram norms, acquired from Cantonese, Dutch, English, French, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish populations).
• Databases or data archives for model testing and evaluation: 3 contributions of data from reaction time studies and animal research.
• Technical supplements related to data analyses, such as interview scripts and protocols for psycholinguistic classification.
• Program source code for statistical analysis, stimulus generation, and similar applications: 8 contributions representing modeling, auditory stimulus generation, and statistical analyses.
• Visual and auditory stimuli for use by other researchers: 7 contributions of verbal, pictorial, point-light display, textual, and auditory stimuli.
• Other tabular or graphic information that is too extensive for paper publication, and information about other useful resources that may be accessed via the World-Wide Web.

In addition to contributions associated with these two issues of BRMIC, the Web-based archive is accepting contributions related to previously published papers in BRMIC and other Psychonomic journals and will continue to accept materials associated with papers in the Psychonomic journals in the future. Users will be able to access the materials at http://www.psychonomic.org/archive/.

Questions about the archive may be directed to Jonathan Vaughan at psp-archive@hamilton.edu. Questions about new submissions to the archive, or submissions related to previously published articles, should be addressed to the editor of the relevant Psychonomic journal.

Measuring Behavior 2002 (August 2003: Vol. 35, No. 3)

Articles based on presentations made at the 4th International Conference on Methods and Techniques in Behavioral Research, held at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam on August 27–30, 2002. Abstracts can be found at http://www.noldus.com/events/mb2002.

Measuring Behavior 2000 (August 2001: Vol. 33, No. 3)

Articles based on presentations made at the 3rd International Conference on Methods and Techniques in Behavioral Research, held in Nijmegen on August 15–18, 2000. Abstracts can be found at http://www.noldus.com/events/mb2000.

Measuring Behavior '98 (February 2000: Vol. 32, No. 1)

This issue comprises papers from Measuring Behavior '98, the 2nd International Conference on Methods and Techniques in Behavioral Research, held in Groningen, The Netherlands, on August 18–21, 1998. The conference was held at the Center for Biological Sciences of the University of Groningen. Abstracts can be found at http://www.noldus.com/events/mb98/mb98.htm.

Teaching Demonstrations and Tutorials (February 1999: Vol. 31, No. 1)

The articles in this issue describe, in most cases, computer software for demonstrating and teaching topics in experimental psychology. Areas covered include statistical methods, research methods, perception, attention, and memory, among others. The articles also discuss broader issues in the development and use of educational software in psychology.

Event-Related Brain Potential Methodology (February 1998: Vol. 30, No. 1)

These articles cover aspects of ERP methodology ranging from recording techniques to the interpretation of ERP effects. Most of the topics are of general relevance for ERP research. The aim is to provide practical guidelines for experimental psychologists who use ERP measures to study human cognition.

High-Performance Computer Applications in the Behavioral Sciences (February 1997: Vol. 29, No. 1)

Invited papers from the symposium on high-performance computing held in Minneapolis in May 1996. The purpose of this conference was to advance the state of the art in scientific computation with respect to the behavioral sciences.
