Published by SAGE Publishing from 2018.
Section A of The Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology publishes original articles on any topic within the field of human experimental psychology. The majority of papers published are substantial experimental reports. However, authoritative review articles and theoretical treatments are welcome, as are brief, theoretically driven, experimental reports which allow some definite and important conclusion to be reached.
The journal covers the areas of memory, language, mental imagery, attention, decision making, problem solving, reasoning, learning, motor control, perception and related topics. Also invited are theoretically driven experimental reports on the effects of healthy ageing, and of neurological damage within the major topic areas above, as are papers that report computational modelling of human behavioural data. Manuscripts that include the use of functional brain imaging techniques (e.g., fMRI, PET, EEG) are welcome, providing that the primary focus is on adding substantial insight to the interpretation of patterns of human behavioural data and the research has a strong theoretical rationale set in a psychological rather than neurophysiological context.
The journal is read internationally, and its contributors are similarly international, with articles from the UK, continental Europe, North America, and elsewhere in the world.
Readers whose institutions subscribe to the journal can access electronic preprints of articles that have been accepted for publication, allowing early dissemination of accepted papers in advance of their appearance in the printed version of the journal.
