Call for Abstracts
23rd Annual Auditory Perception, Cognition, and Action Meeting (APCAM 2024)
(abstract submission opened July 15, 2024 and closed on September 15, 2024)
The 23nd annual Auditory Perception, Cognition, and Action Meeting (APCAM 2024) will occur on Thursday, November 21, 2024. We would like to invite you to contribute your work on any aspect of auditory science to APCAM 2024, which will occur in New York City, USA at the same venue as and immediately before the Annual Meeting of the Psychonomic Society.
The goal of APCAM is to bring together researchers from different perspectives to present focused research on auditory cognition, perception, and aurally guided action. To support this, APCAM’s Organizing Committee welcomes submissions on a wide variety of empirical, theoretical, and methodological topics in auditory science, including but not limited to:
- Auditory memory and imagery
- Auditory scene analysis; object, event, and pattern perception
- Aurally guided action and navigation
- Comparative auditory processing
- Cross-modal correspondences and multisensory integration
- Healthy vs. disordered hearing and hearing loss
- Language learning, processing, and development
- Sound localization, source identification, and motion perception
- Music perception, cognition, and performance
- Pitch, loudness, and timbre perception
- Speech perception and production
- Temporal processing, timing, and attention
Submissions should include an abstract of 300 words or less, the title of the presentation, names and affiliations for all contributing authors as they should appear in the conference program, e-mail contact information for the primary/submitting author, and whether a spoken or poster presentation is preferred. The committee will try to accommodate presentation preferences, though it may not be possible to honor all preferences. If there are more accepted abstracts with a spoken presentation preference than available presentation slots, preference will be given to presentations judged to represent the strongest contributions, as well as to authors who did not deliver a spoken presentation at APCAM 2023. You may submit only one presentation as first/presenting author, but you can co-author as many presentations as you wish.
Abstract submission opened July 15, 2024. All abstracts were submitted online by following the "Submit an Abstract" link on the APCAM tab of the Auditory Perception and Cognition Society (APCS website (https://apcsociety.org/apcam-submit.html). The deadline for abstract submission was September 15, 2024. Call for abstracts is now closed. Authors will be notified about the status of their submission within 3 weeks after the submission deadline.
To support the mission of APCAM, APCS, and the affiliate journal Auditory Perception & Cognition (AP&C), there is a registration fee for 40 USD for PhD professionals and 30 USD for graduate students (the registration fee is waived for undergraduate students). In addition to providing access to APCAM materials, the registration fee includes a one-year membership to APCS, an individual subscription to AP&C, and reduced open-access publication fees for AP&C. For more details about APCS membership, see https://apcsociety.org/membership.html.
Presenters at APCAM 2024 can submit a brief report based on their presentation for consideration for publication in a special issue of AP&C. Such reports are not to be confused with traditional conference proceedings (i.e., they are longer [10-15 APA-formatted pages for the main text] and are peer-reviewed), but like traditional conference proceedings, would not preclude submission of an expanded paper to AP&C or another journal at a later time. For more information on AP&C or the special issue, contact Michael Hall (hallmd@jmu.edu) or Mike Russell (mirussell@bellevue.edu).
As always, please share this information about APCAM with colleagues who might be interested. We look forward to receiving your submission and seeing you at the meeting.
Sincerely,
Timothy Hubbard
Chair, Organizing Committee, APCAM 2024
