Submitted Talks By Theme
Browse the online program to view session details, scheduling, and speakers.
For the 2026 APS Annual Convention, we’ve introduced a new approach to categorizing sessions based not on traditional subfields of psychology but rather on the cross-cutting psychological concepts and processes they examine. This year, Submitted Talks are grouped by themes and scheduled into blocks within the program.
This is a quick-reference guide to the Submitted Talks schedule organized by day, time block, and room. The tables below show the themes and number of Submitted Talks scheduled in each block. To view individual Submitted Talks, please visit the online program, then “Browse By Program Type”, and select “Submitted Talks.” You can then view individual Submitted Talk details.
Please learn more about the 2026 APS Annual Convention‘s new themes on the Program Themes webpage.
Schedule as of 04/24/26. Please see the online planner for the latest scheduling.
