An Overview of Recent Research Kelly Babchishin (Carleton University, Canada) Abstract: Risk assessment is a core element of effective correctional practice. For individuals with contact sexual offenses, many risk assessment tools are available. For those with Child Sexual Exploitation Material offending (CSEM; legally referred to in Canada and the United States as child pornography), much fewer tools are available or, more precisely, much fewer validated risk tools are available. Relatedly, there continued to be an influx of research on CSEM offending with new findings reported almost every month. This presentation will review recent findings on CSEM offending, with a focus on the similarities and differences of CSEM from typical, contact sex offenders. Findings relevant for the assessment and treatment of individuals with CSEM offences will be described. About the Speaker: Kelly M. Babchishin is a professor of forensic psychology within the Department of Psychology and an Associate Editor of "Sexual Abuse". After completing her Ph.D. (experimental psychology, Carleton University), Kelly completed a Banting postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute of Mental Health Research (Ottawa) and the Karolinska Institute Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (Stockholm). Prior to starting at Carleton, Kelly was a research advisor at the Public Safety Canada and the Parole Board of Canada where she conducted research to facilitate evidence-based policies for justice-involved individuals within Canada. Dr. Babchishin's research examines factors involved in the onset and maintenance of sexual offending with particular focus on online sexual offending and incest offending. She is the director of the Sexually Harmful Behaviours Research Lab and co-director of the Forensic Psychology Research Centre at Carleton University. The Person in Psychology: The Importance of Idiographics and Nomothetics Emorie Beck (University of California, Davis) Abstract: Psychology is fundamentally a study of persons, including their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, as well as the contexts and social structures in which they are embedded. Yet, the bulk of psychological research focuses on aggregated patterns across people, which obfuscates the complex dynamics through which an individual life unfolds. In this talk, I highlight a re-emerging psychology based in dynamic systems theory that emphasizes the individual and uniqueness (i.e. idiographics) as well as the group and commonality (I .e. nomothetics). First, I discuss ongoing work investigating a person as a dynamic system of shared and unique social, cognitive, psychological, behavioral, and contextual factors that unfold over time. Second, I link short-term dynamics with long-term change, demonstrating how to bridge idiographic and nomothetic approaches. Third, I discuss the applied relevance of idiographic approaches for behavioral targeting and intervention tailoring. I conclude by summarizing this work in the broader context of psychology. About the Speaker: Dr. Emorie Beck is an Assistant Professor of Personality and Individual Differences at the University of California, Davis. Dr. Beck's research focuses on what personality is, which has consequences for how we measure personality, what those measures predict both short- and long-term, and how personality is thought to change. She studies how to understand the personality of an individual relative to only themself, relative to some others, and relative to all others. To do so, she uses a mix of methods, including experience sampling methods, passive sensing, survey data, panel data, cognitive tests, and more measured across time intervals from moments to years along with an array of statistical approaches, including time series analysis and forecasting, hierarchical modeling, machine learning, network psychometrics, structural equation modeling, and more. A Relational Account of Attention and Eye Movements Stefanie Becker (School of Psychology, University of Queensland, Australia) Abstract: Attention allows us to select information about relevant objects from cluttered visual scenes, and helps us in many everyday tasks when we are searching for our keys or phone. Current models of visual attention typically assume that we find objects by tuning attention to a specific feature value of sought-after objects (e.g., a colour, shape or orientation). However, my own research has revealed that attention is often tuned to the relative features of an object (e.g., redder / larger / darker; or the reddest / largest / darkest item). Thus, selection depends on the context: Both the feature of the search target and the context determine how we tune attention to a target. The corresponding Relational Account (Becker, 2010) can explain a multitude of effects visual search (attention and eye movements), and affects the contents in Visual Short-Term Memory (VSTM) and awareness. Collectively, our results suggest the need to modify existing accounts of attention and VSTM to include context-sensitive processes and mechanisms. About the Speaker: Prof Stefanie Becker was awarded her PhD in Experimental Psychology in 2007, from the University in Bielefeld, Germany, and has since worked at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia. Her work is focussed on identifying the factors that drive visual selection and eye movements, using traditional behavioural paradigms, eye tracking, EEG and fMRI. Stefanie has so far published 102 papers, some of which appeared in high-ranking outlets (e.g., TICS, IEEE, Psych Science, JEP-General). For her work, Stefanie has been awarded a number of prestigious prizes, among them the APS and UQ Early Career Awards, the International EyeTrack Award and the National Dissertation Prize in Germany. Uncertainty at Work Gudela Grote (ETH Zürich, Switzerland) Abstract: Uncertainty is a fundamental human experience and largely considered to be an aversive state people try to avoid. In the talk, a model of uncertainty regulation will be introduced which includes both reduction and creation of uncertainty as potentially desirable options. First empirical work on the development of the concept of uncertainty mindset, that is the degree to which individiuals perceive uncertainty as malleable or fixed and as a threat or an opportunity, will be presented. Different work contexts within which uncertainty regulation is particularly relevant, will be highlighted and pertinent research discussed, such as coordination in high risk teams and development and use of emerging technologies. About the Speaker: Gudela Grote is Professor of Work and Organizational Psychology at ETH Zürich. She studied psychology at the University of Marburg and at the Technical University in Berlin and received her doctorate at the Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, USA. A special interest in her research are the increasing flexibility and virtuality of work and their consequences for the individual and organizational management of uncertainty. Application domains for her research have been among others teamwork and standardization in high-risk systems, effects of new technologies on work processes, and the management of the employment relationship. Her work has appeared in the major journals of her field and she currently serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Applied Psychology and Academy of Management Review. In her various former and present roles, such as President of the European Association of Work and Organizational Psychology, member of the Swiss National Research Council, and member of the scientific advisory board of the German Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, Gudela Grote strives to promote evidence-based practice and policy-making. Bayesian insights into rapid decision-making: the computational principle of context inference Stefan Kiebel (TU Dresden, Germany) Abstract: Abstract: It is remarkable that humans can make complex routine decisions with potentially far-reaching consequences, in just a couple of hundred milliseconds. From machine learning, we know how difficult it is to achieve the computation of flexible behaviour in such short time-ranges. How do our brains generate these fast and yet flexible decisions? One way of addressing this question is to build a computational model of the underlying processes. In our approach, we make the key assumption that context inference is required to compute context-specific behaviour. We implemented this assumption within the active inference framework and derived a Bayesian contextual control model. Employing this model, we successfully replicated canonical experimental results in habit learning, goal-directed control, and cognitive control. Furthermore, this model explains seemingly counter-intuitive findings in motor control learning. Collectively, these results point at a fundamental computational principle, context inference, that explains how humans achieve both speed and flexibility in everyday decision making. About the Speaker: Stefan Kiebel is a professor of Cognitive Computational Neuroscience at the Faculty of Psychology at TU Dresden, Germany. He was trained as a computer scientist and is a co-developer of the widely used Statistical Parametric Mapping SPM neuroimaging software package. Over time, his interests shifted towards cognitive neuroscience, sparking collaborations between the fields of cognitive neuroscience, psychology, computer science, and machine learning. At present, Kiebel’s research focuses on Bayesian modelling, predictive coding, and active inference. His main curiosity lies in understanding how our brain employs hierarchies of time scales for cognitive functions, such as decision making under time constraints.

She has received funding from the U.S. Department of Education and the American Psychological Society for her work with elementary school-aged children, and was, twice, named a Fulbright Scholar to South Korea. Her recent work, including those described in her books in Korean on "The Science of Metacognition" (2019) and "Impostor" (2022), have begun to raise cross-cultural awareness on the illusions that exist during learning, and the biases that threaten the well-being of all individuals, including those who have achieved success. Social Dynamics of Emotions in Sport - Current Developments and Future Innovations Katherine Tamminen (University of Toronto, Canada ) Abstract: Competitive athletes experience a range of emotions related to their sport experiences, which occur within rich social contexts in the sport environment. Over the past decade in the field of sport psychology, researchers have increasingly emphasized the interpersonal and social processes that influence emotions, emotion regulation, stress, and coping among athletes and members of their social environments. In this talk, I will present research from my lab examining the emotional experiences within teams and groups in sport, processes of interpersonal emotion regulation between athletes, teammates, and coaches, as well as coping and emotion socialization between parents and youth sport athletes. The results of this research show how athletes' emotions and emotion regulation are influenced by others, and point toward the importance of these interpersonal emotional experiences for athletes' performance success, well-being and enjoyment, teammate relationships, and psychosocial development. Current trends and advances will be discussed, as well as future innovations in the study of emotions in sport. About the Speaker: Dr. Katherine Tamminen, PhD, is an Associate Professor and the Associate Dean, Graduate Education in the Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Education at the University of Toronto. Dr. Tamminen's research program in sport psychology uses quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches and focuses on athlete stress, coping, and emotion regulation; athlete mental health; and youth athletes' experiences in sport. She is the co-Editor in Chief of the journal Psychology of Sport and Exercise and she serves on the editorial boards of multiple other journals in the field of sport and exercise psychology. She has served as the President of the Canadian Society for Psychomotor Learning and Sport Psychology (SCAPPS), and she is also a Member at Large with the International Society of Qualitative Research in Sport and Exercise.

Using Robots to Understand Human Cognition Agnieszka Wykowska (Italian Institute of Technology, Italy) Abstract: As robots are believed to soon populate human environments, they have received enthusiastic support in the scientific community. Most research aims at designing robots for assisting humans in daily lives, healthcare, or elderly care. However, there is also a less explored way of using robots - robots as tools to understand human cognition. In my lab, we take this approach, examining human cognitive mechanisms in social interaction. In this talk, I will present the work from my lab where we have examined how attentional orienting, sensorimotor processes, sense of agency and cognitive control unfold in interaction, or joint action, with others, i.e., natural and artificial partners. Our results showed, both at the behavioural and neural level, that interaction modulates attention, sensorimotor processes, sense of joint agency as well as adaptation to cognitive conflict. I will discuss these results in a broader context of using robots at the service of psychological research. About the Speaker: Professor Agnieszka Wykowska is the head of the unit "Social Cognition in Human-Robot Interaction" at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT), in Genoa, Italy. She is also the Coordinator of the Center for Human Technologies, at the IIT. Her background is cognitive neuroscience (2006), Ludwig Maximilian University Munich (LMU) and philosophy (2001), Jagiellonian University in Krakow. She obtained a PhD in psychology (2008) from the LMU. In 2016 she was awarded the ERC Starting grant "InStance: Intentional Stance for Social Attunement". She is Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Social Robotics. Since July 2022 she serves in the role of President of the European Society for Cognitive and Affective Neuroscience (ESCAN). In her research, she combines cognitive neuroscience methods with human-robot interaction to understand the human brain mechanisms in interaction with other humans and with robots. tba Vera Araújo-Soares (University of Twente, Netherlands) Abstract: About the Speaker: tba Sabine Pahl (University of Vienna, Austria) Abstract: About the Speaker:
