Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition

Aims & Scope

The purposes of Aging, Neuropsychology, and Cognition are to (a) publish research on both the normal and dysfunctional aspects of cognitive development in adulthood and aging, and (b) promote the integration of theories, methods, and research findings between the fields of cognitive gerontology and neuropsychology.

The primary emphasis of the journal is to publish original empirical research.

Occasionally, theoretical or methodological papers, critical reviews of a content area, or theoretically relevant case studies will also be published.

Emphases of interest include information processing mechanisms, intellectual abilities, the impact of injury or disease on performance, cognitive training, cognitive and pharmacological approaches to treatment and rehabilitation, metacognition, and the social and personal aspects of cognitive functioning.
