Psychological Research

Aims & Scope

Psychological Research/Psychologische Forschung publishes articles that contribute to a basic understanding of human perception, attention, memory, and action.

The Journal is devoted to the dissemination of knowledge based on firm experimental ground, but not to particular approaches or schools of thought.

Theoretical and historical papers are welcome to the extent that they serve this general purpose; papers of an applied nature are acceptable if they contribute to basic understanding or serve to bridge the often felt gap between basic and applied research in the field covered by the Journal.
