Journal of Memory and Language

Aims & Scope

Articles in the Journal of Memory and Language contribute to the formulation of scientific issues and theories in the areas of memory, language comprehension and production, and cognitive processes.

Special emphasis is given to research articles that provide new theoretical insights based on a carefully laid empirical foundation.

The journal generally favors articles that provide multiple experiments.

In addition, significant theoretical papers without new experimental findings may be published.

The Journal of Memory and Language is a valuable tool for cognitive scientists, including psychologists, linguists, and others interested in memory and learning, language, reading, and speech.

Research Areas include: • Topics that illuminate aspects of memory or language processing • Linguistics • Neuropsychology.
