The workshop will be held in the morning on Monday, October 26, 2020 (MT). The program of VisPsych 2020 will begin with a keynote speech given by Professor Barbara Tversky, an eminent psychologist who is currently an active Emerita Professor of Psychology at Stanford and Professor of Psychology at Columbia Teachers College.

Keynote Speech by Barbara Tversky

How Graphics Communicate

Similar to gestures, Graphics use icons and abstract forms arrayed in space to convey information more directly than arbitrarily symbolic language. In support of these ideas I will discuss historical examples as well as experimental evidence, empirical semantics.

Barbara Tversky studied cognitive psychology at the University of Michigan and has held faculty positions at the Hebrew University, Stanford University, where she is emerita Professor of Psychology, and Columbia Teachers College. She has enjoyed collaborations with linguists, neuroscientists, philosophers, computer scientists from many domains, artists, designers, and scientists from many domains. Her research has spanned memory, categorization, language, event perception and cognition, spatial thinking, external mind, gesture, and creativity, some of it brought together in her recent book, Mind in Motion: How Action Shapes Thought. She has served on many editorial boards, governing boards, and program committees. She was president of the Association for Psychological Science and elected to the American Academy of Arts and Science and the Society for Experimental Psychology and a fellow of the Association for Psychological Science and the Cognitive Science Society.
