Aims & Scope

The Journal of Applied Research in Memory and Cognition (JARMAC) publishes a mix of empirical reports, review articles, and target papers with invited peer commentary.

The goal of this unique journal is to reach both psychological scientists working in this field and related areas but also professionals and practitioners who seek to understand and apply research on memory and cognition.
