Cognitive Psychology News:
Perceived health from biological motion predicts voting behaviour
A new article from the Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology was used as the basis for a Daily Telegraph news item on the forthcoming UK general election.
Using stick-figure representations of each gentleman’s body language, participants were asked who they trusted most of current Prime Minister Gordon Brown and his chief political rival, Conservative leader David Cameron.
In a potentially unwelcome result for the government, participants reported that the opposition leader was largely preferred.

Psychology of Music: From Sound to Significance
Why are some disturbances of air molecules heard as 'noise' while others are perceived as music?
What happens at the level of the sound wave, the ear, and the brain when we perform or listen to music? How do musical abilities emerge and develop, and become refined as one acquires musical expertise? And what gives music its deep emotional significance and its power to influence social behavior, across vastly different cultural contexts?
These are some of the primary questions defining the field called 'the psychology of music' and driving the present volume.
Cognition & Emotion: Reviews of Current Research and Theories
During the past 30 years, research on the relationship between cognition and emotion has boomed, and so many studies on this topic have been published that it is difficult to keep track of the evidence.
This book fulfils the need for a review of the existing evidence on particular aspects of the interplay between cognition and emotion.
It assembles a collection of state-of-the-art reviews of the most important topics in cognition and emotion research: emotion theories, feeling and thinking, the perception of emotion, the expression of emotion, emotion regulation, emotion and memory, and emotion and attention.
European Journal of Cognitive Psychology: Call for Special Issue Proposals
The European Journal of Cognitive Psychology (EJCP) invites proposals for a special issue on a topic related to the focus of EJCP: all areas of research in cognitive psychology, including research that adopts a neuroscience approach to human functioning are appropriate.
Proposals for a special issue should have a well-articulated unifying theme and should describe state-of-the-art, leading edge research on this theme.
Proposals can be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief Janet van Hell.
Submission Deadline: Monday, March 15th, 2010
