En nombre de la Junta Directiva de la Sociedad Española de Psicología Experimental es un placer presentaros los resultados del nuevo certamen al mejor artículo publicado en 2018.

En primer lugar queremos felicitar a todos los autores y en especial a los de las publicaciones finalistas de este certamen por el excelente trabajo presentado. Nuestro más sincero agradecimiento también a los revisores por su esfuerzo y rigurosa evaluación.

Los revisores han coincidido en otorgar el PREMIO AL MEJOR ARTÍCULO a:

1) MODALIDAD JÓVENES SEPEX:

Arranz-Paraíso, S., & Serrano-Pedraza, I. (2018). Testing the link between visual suppression and intelligence. PLoS ONE, 13, e0200151.

En palabras de los revisores: “This is an interesting paper – published on a good journal – that uses a reliable psychophysical method to clarify the link between visual suppression and intelligence.” “Stimuli, experimental tasks, and statistically analyses were meticulously planned.”

2) MODALIDAD PSICOLÓGICA:

Lugo, F., Torres, M. N., & Chamizo, V. D. (2018). Two strategies used to solve a navigation task: A different use of the hippocampus by males and females? A preliminary study in rats. Psicológica, 39, 319-339.

En palabras de los revisores: “The paper tests an interesting aspect of differences in spatial navigation between males and female rats. The experiment is very well designed.” “In my opinion, the most original piece of work is the one described by Lugo, Torres and Chamizo (2018), addressing the important issue of gender differences in cognition, and involving surgical and behavioural procedures in rats that require very specialized techniques not easy to implement in psychology labs.”

3) MODALIDAD PREMIO ALBERT COSTA:

Comesaña M, Bertin P, Oliveira H, Soares AP, Hernández-Cabrera JA, Casalis S (2018) The impact of cognateness of word bases and suffixes on morpho-orthographic processing: A masked priming study with intermediate and high-proficiency Portuguese-English bilinguals. PLoS ONE, 13, e0193480.

En palabras de los revisores: “This is a methodologically sound set of experiments that provide important knowledge about the underlying similarities and differences between the manner in which lexical access of polymorphemic words is completed in a native and in a nonnative language as a function of cross-linguistic overlap. The materials are carefully selected and the analysis procedure is of very high quality, providing univocal responses to the main questions of the study.”

En nombre de la Junta Directiva, nuestra más sincera enhorabuena por este reconocimiento a todos los autores de los artículos ganadores.
