New Virtual Special Issue on Music and Cognition
Elsevier Cognitive Science is pleased to present a new virtual special issue on Music and Cognition..
The issue brings together articles on Music and Cognition from 1997 to the present day across nine top Elsevier journals. The topics range from biological perspectives to investigations into human creativity to studies on acoustics preferences in nonhuman primates.
Brain and Cognition has been identified by the BioMedical and Life Sciences Division of the Special Libraries Association as being one of the 100 most influential journals of Biology & Medicine over the last 100 years. See the list here which features 22 journals published by Elsevier.
Brain and Language Volume 106, Issue 1
This first issue of Volume 106 and the 1st issue since the journal’s inception initiates both a new look and an updated editorial plan for Brain and Language. The mission of the journal remains the publication of the very best articles that relate human language to the organization, structure, and workings of the human brain. Nevertheless, there are some observable changes in emphasis and some practical differences in the mechanics of the review process. >> Read more...
The plasticity and compensational capacities of the developing brain are among the the most remarkable observations of developmental neuroscience. This special issue comprises studies elucidating not only the mechanisms but also the limitations of language (re)organization after early brain lesions.
The purpose of this review is to summarize the central concepts, methods, and findings of functional integration neuroimaging research to discuss key questions in the field of developmental cognitive neuroscience.

Cognitive Science of Text
Guest Edited by Joanne Arciuli
Journal of Neurolinguistics, Volume 22, Issue 3
The papers included in the current special issue showcase the wide variety of methods and populations currently being incorporated by cognitive scientists in order address questions such as: How influential are genetics and environment in literacy acquisition? How can computational models assist in understanding human reading of polysyllabic words?
The special issue is a result of two workshops that had the explicit aim to build bridges between different approaches towards a rigorous study of bilingual language use, and in particular between functional and neural perspectives. The papers cover research on the lexical and the syntactic level, in production, comprehension, and translation, using behavioral methods and neurocognitive methods. Read more…
This special issue focuses on three lines of memory research: the effects of stress and stress hormones on memory functioning; classical conditioning; and motivated forgetting. We hope that the state-of-the art papers from these three research domains will inspire researchers to fresh new research. >> read more...
With respect to brain-behavior relationships, the information represented in functional images needs to be evaluated without the assumptions of the activation approach. From a systems perspective, the relationships among multiple regions must be considered, and considered not only as a function of a contract between two or more conditions. The problem is finding the funtion in functional images.

Social cognition is one of the key abilities we have to acquire to be successful in social interactions in everyday life. Recentstudies from different disciplines show that we have to take phenomena like embodiment, the functional role of emotions and basic forms of mentalizing as well as the intensely discussed theory-of-mind ability into account.

Investigation of cerebral activity in cognitive processing has recently received impetus in scientific research. The different papers included in the current issue focus on the study of the regular and impaired reading process while utilizing two central methods of brain research. Access the Table of Contents
The left periphery of sentences Edited by A. Bose and L. Buchanan Journal of Neurolinguistics - Volume 21, Issue 2, March 2008
The contributions focus on specific neurolinguistics aspects of the left clausal periphery in production and comprehension and lead to answers on specific and important questions on this field, questions which should also shape future research. >> read more...
Dynamics and Psychology
Edited by Paco Calvo Garzón, Aarre Laakso and Toni Gomila New Ideas in Psychology, Volume 26, Issue 2, August 2008
Recently, the hegemony of computationalism has given way to a diversity of theoreticalapproaches. Among the most promising of these is dynamicism, the view that cognitive processes are best modelled as dynamical systems rather than as information processing systems. >> read more...
