Cognition is an international journal that publishes theoretical and experimental papers on the study of the mind. It covers
a wide variety of subjects concerning all the different aspects of cognition, ranging from biological and experimental studies to formal
analysis. Contributions from the fields of psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, computer science, mathematics, ethology and philosophy
are welcome in this journal provided that they have some bearing on the functioning of the mind. In addition, the journal serves as a
forum for discussion of social and political aspects of cognitive science.
Papers will be selected on the basis of their scientific
quality and degree of innovation. A paper's theoretical relevance to cognition, overall soundness of the argument and degree of empirical
motivation, especially from converging sources, are more important than adherence to specific methodological principles. Because Cognition
enjoys a wide readership from many disciplines, authors should explicitly consider the general theoretical issues raised by their work
and its relevance to other topics and methods. Material should be suited to the character of the Journal, and should describe work done
and methods used in a clear and explicit manner (allowing reproduction of the methods by others).
Cognition occasionally
publishes special issues devoted to a research area that has seen rapid recent progress, promising new approaches, and convergence among
different disciplines.
