Applied Cognitive Psychology

Scope

Applied Cognitive Psychology seeks to publish the best papers dealing with psychological analyses of memory, learning, thinking, problem solving, language, and consciousness as they occur in real world contexts. Applied Cognitive Psychology focuses on studies of human performance and basic cognitive skills in everyday environments. Particular emphases include studies of autobiographical memory, lifespan memory development, detecting truth and deception, eyewitness memory and memory reliability, as well as cognitive perspectives on consumer behaviour, health and education. Articles will normally combine rigorous investigations of real world events with appropriate theoretical analyses and proper appraisal of practical implications. While empirical research papers remain the primary focus of the journal, Applied Cognitive Psychology also publishes theoretical articles, reviews and short research reports (up to 5,000 words of main text, including references, but excluding abstracts, tables, etc.). As of September 2018, we also welcome the submission of registered reports.
