VISUAL COGNITION

Visual Cognition publishes new empirical research that advances theoretical understanding of the processes underlying human visual cognition. Studies may address any aspect of visual cognition such as object, face, and scene recognition; visual attention; visual memory; visual word recognition and reading; eye movement control and active vision; and visual imagery. The journal is devoted to research at the interface of visual perception and cognition and does not typically publish papers in areas of perception or psychophysics. The typical study will use behavioral methods, but reports clearly motivated by theoretical issues that use alternative populations or methods such as neuroimaging (e.g., fMRI, ERP, MEG) or modeling (computational or mathematical) are also encouraged.
