Congratulations to Véronic Delage, Richard J. Daker, Geneviève Trudel, Ian M. Lyons, and Erin A. Maloney for their article, It is a “small world”: Relations between performance on five spatial tasks and five mathematical tasks in undergraduate students (2024, Vol. 78, Issue 4, pp. 256-274) which was selected as the winner of the 2024 Best Article Award in the Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology / Revue canadienne de psychologie expérimentale.
The CJEP Best Article Award is co-sponsored by the CPA and the Canadian Society for Brain, Behaviour and Cognitive Science (CSBBCS). The CJEP Editorial team nominates articles for this award, and the articles are adjudicated by CPA and CSBBCS appointed members.

“In addition to preserving its history, I am interested in broadening CJEP’s scope in a few ways. I would like to see submissions that address, among other topics, developmental phenomena, comparative cognition, and cognitive neuroscience approaches, as well as work that advances cognitive theory through the study of diverse populations or applied real-world social or technological challenges. I believe the journal can benefit from the contributions of authors and reviewers who have a wide variety of lived experiences and for their articles to address experimental questions about cognitive or perceptual phenomena that are relevant to these diverse experiences and perspectives.”
—Debra Titone, PhD
