Ecological Psychology

Scope

Ecological Psychology is the official journal of the International Society for Ecological Psychology. Membership in the society includes a subscription to the journal. The journal publishes theoretical, experimental and methodological articles that address the processes underlying behavior from an ecological point of view. The intent of the journal is to provide a forum for investigations that expand the boundaries of cognitive systems to include not only the brain but the body and the environment as well. Of particular interest are studies that illuminate perception, action and cognition in terms of the lawful dynamical principles that underlie the organization of nature at multiple scales. Articles from disciplinary domains beyond psychology are encouraged. Topics can include perception, control and coordination of action, cognition, neuroscience, communication, learning, development, and social perception and interaction, whether in humans or other species. In addition to basic research, contributions from applied fields (e.g., rehabilitation, sports, human factors, robotics, machine learning) and philosophy (e.g., ontology, epistemology) are also welcome.
