Prof. Ramesh Mishra, Head, Center for Neural and Cognitive Sciences and Dr. Seema Prasad will be organising a symposium titled “Cognition in the “real-world”: How, Why and What next?” as part of the annual meeting of Experimental Psychology Society (EPS) to be held at University College, London in January 2023. The symposium will bring together an international group of researchers who have demonstrated expertise in bringing real-world approaches to the study of fundamental questions in cognition. The different talks will examine the notion of ecological validity, and why it matters and demonstrate the utility of conducting naturalistic experiments across domains such as attention and reading.
