Welcome! The Auditory Perception & Cognition Society (APCS) is an international, non-profit organization that seeks to foster activities that will bring together researchers from around the world and from various theoretical perspectives to discuss research on auditory cognition, perception, and aurally guided action. Its primary missions are to: (1) support and grow the Auditory Perception, Cognition, and Action Meeting (APCAM) and (2) support the Auditory Perception & Cognition (AP&C) journal.
The 21st Annual Auditory Perception, Cognition and Action Meeting (APCAM 2022) will be on Thursday, November 17th in Boston, MA. The Call for Abstracts is now available, and abstract submissions are open. The abstract submission deadline is September 18, 2022.
APCAM is a one-day satellite meeting affiliated with the annual meeting of the Psychonomic Society. The goal of APCAM is to bring together researchers from various theoretical perspectives to present focused research on auditory cognition, perception, and aurally guided action.
APCS is sponsoring Travel Awards for students from underrepresented populations and Membership Awards for any members experiencing financial need. Members can apply for an award by completing the APCS Diversity Awards Application after submitting an abstract.
Submissions are welcome for a new international journal from Taylor & Francis entitled Auditory Perception & Cognition. This journal is affiliated with the annual Auditory Perception, Cognition, and Action Meeting (APCAM) that precedes meetings of the Psychonomic Society.
Auditory Perception & Cognition seeks to bring together outstanding examples of auditory science across disciplines within one publication. It is unique in its consideration of work with either a basic or applied research focus that can target any level of processing (i.e., low-level perceptual to high-level cognitive), theoretical perspective (e.g., constructivist v. ecological) and methodology (e.g., neurophysiological v. behavioral/psychophysical; quantitative v. observational). The journal fills an important gap between general perceptual and cognitive journals that infrequently feature auditory work and highly specialized auditory publications that do not attract wide readership outside the authors immediate domain.
Details about the journal, including instructions to authors, can be found on the journal website.
