About the journal
The basic aim of this journal is to promote the study of cognitive processes from a neuropsychological perspective. Cognition will be understood very broadly, as including perception, attention, object recognition, planning, language, thinking, memory and action, for example. Any neuropsychological work bearing upon our understanding of normal cognitive processes would be directly appropriate for the journal. Neuropsychological disorders of cognition arising at any stage of the life span-both developmental disorders and disorders associated with ageing, as well as traumatic disorders, for example-will be of interest. Also relevant will be any studies of cognition in normal subjects which may shed some light upon the nature of disorders of cognition, as well as studies of rehabilitation of such disorders in which a cognitive-neuropsychological perspective is adopted. Papers need not be reports of the author's experimental research: theoretical contributions, critical reviews of the literature, and commentaries on papers published in previous issues of the journal would also be appropriate.
The journal will also publish in-depth critical reviews of books dealing with any aspect of cognitive neuropsychology. There is no requirement that reviewed books be contemporary. Any book whose importance for cognitive neuropsychology is sufficiently clear may be reviewed in the journal, no matter how long ago the book was published. Anyone interested in submitting a book review to the journal should contact the Book Reviews Editor, Professor Tim Shallice, Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience, University College London, Alexandra House, 17 Queen Square, London, WC1N 3AR, UK.
Finally, it is intended that the journal will occasionally reprint important papers that have already appeared elsewhere, but which are likely to have escaped the notice of most cognitive neuropsychologists, either because the papers were published long ago, or in languages other than English. Suggestions as to papers which deserve reprinting for these reasons may be sent to Professor A. W. Ellis (Department of Psychology, University of York, Heslington, York YO1 5DD, UK).
Instructions to Authors
METHODOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Papers should in general satisfy methodological standards expected of publications on normal cognitive processes in such journals as the Journal of Experimental Psychology or Cognitive Psychology, as well as satisfying requirements appropriate for neuropsychological publications in journals such as Brain (e.g., where studies of neuropsychological patients are reported, efforts should be made to provide a clear background description of the general neurological and neuropsychological status of the patient).
The importance of single case studies for the resolution of theoretical issues is acknowledged, and methodologically adequate single case studies are welcomed. In reports of such studies, the nature of a patient's deficits should be documented in quantitative terms (a simple syndrome label is insufficient). The level of detail required here depends upon the specific hypothesis being tested. Essentially what is needed is documentation of the presence of specified deficits and preserved capacities as these are related to particular hypotheses.
In reports of group studies, criteria for selecting and for grouping patients must be detailed and explicit, and related to the particular hypotheses being tested. The designation of a group of patients simply as "Broca's aphasics", for example, would not be sufficient. A set of patients classified as Broca's aphasics can be extremely heterogeneous, and any conclusions reached in such a study may, in fact, be true for only a few of the patients in this group. One way around this problem is to treat each patient as an individual, i.e., carry out single case studies. Another is to provide explicit evidence of homogeneity of the group in a group study.
SUBMISSIONS
Please note that the publisher would actively encourage authors to submit papers electronically to expedite the peer review process. Please email your paper saved in a standard document format type such as Word (in PC format), Rich Text Format, or PDF to reviews@psypress.co.uk
If you are unable to supply a version of your paper by email, please send two hard copies of the manuscript and a disk version (in Microsoft Word in a PC format) to:
Journals Editorial Assistant, Psychology Press, 27 Church Road, Hove, East Sussex, BN3 2FA, UK. Phone: + 44 (0) 1273 225007; Fax: + 44 (0) 1273 205612; Email: reviews@psypress.co.uk
Colour images, where the editor and publisher judge these to be essential to the reader's understanding, will be included free of charge in Cognitive Neuropsychology. The Journal does not publish colour figures without prior arrangement between the editors, publisher, and author(s).
Papers should be prepared in American Psychological Association format. For details of this format, see the Publication Manual of the APA (5th ed.), or any recent issue of an APA journal such as the Journal of Experimental Psychology: General. The citation of unpublished reports of empirical investigations is strongly discouraged.
Authors may request blind refereeing. In this case, it is the responsibility of the author to prepare his or her manuscript such that after detachment of the title page no clues remain as to authorial identities.
Each paper submitted to the Editor will be assigned to an appropriate member of the Board of Editors, who will thenceforth have full editorial responsibility for the paper, and will obtain and transmit to authors reviews from at least two independent reviewers.
The publishers strongly encourage the submission of final, accepted manuscripts on disk (accompanied by matching hard copy). Click here for guidelines for presentation of final manuscripts on disk.
Submission of an article is taken as acceptance by the author that the publisher will hold copyright on all material published in the journal, including printed, electronic, and other publication formats, in all languages. It is the author's responsibility to ensure that the article contains nothing that is libellous or infringes copyright.

FORMAT
Typescripts. The style and format of the typescripts should conform to the specifications given in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.). Typescripts should be double spaced on one side only of A4 paper, with adequate margins, and numbered throughout. The title page of an article should contain only:
(1) the title of the paper, the name(s) and address(es) of the author(s);
(2) a short title not exceeding 40 letters and spaces, which will be used for page headlines;
(3) name and full contact address of the author to whom correspondence and proofs should be sent;
(4) your telephone, fax and email details, as this helps speed of processing considerably.
Abstract. An abstract of 100-150 words should follow the title page on a separate sheet.
Headings. Indicate headings and subheadings for different sections of the paper clearly. Do not number headings.
Acknowledgements. These should be as brief as possible and typed on a separate sheet at the beginning of the text.
Permission to quote. Any direct quotation, regardless of length, must be accompanied by a reference citation that includes a page number. Any quote over six manuscript lines should have formal written permission to quote from the copyright owner. It is the author's responsibility to determine whether permission is required from the copyright owner and, if so, to obtain it. (See the bottom of the page for a template of a letter seeking copyright permission.)
Footnotes. These should be avoided unless absolutely necessary. Essential footnotes should be indicated by superscript figures in the text and collected on a separate sheet at the end of the manuscript.
Reference citations within the text. Use authors' last names, with the year of publication in parentheses after the last author's name, e.g., "Jones and Smith (1987)"; alternatively, "(Brown, 1982; Jones & Smith, 1987; White, Johnson, & Thomas, 1990)". On first citation of references with three to six authors, give all names in full, thereafter use first author "et al.". If more than one article by the same author(s) in the same year is cited, the letters a, b, c, etc., should follow the year.
Reference list. A full list of references quoted in the text should be given at the end of the paper in alphabetical order of authors' surnames (or chronologically for a group of references by the same authors), commencing as a new sheet, typed double spaced. Titles of journals and books should be given in full, e.g.:
Books:
Baddeley, A. D. (1999). Essentials of human memory. Hove, UK: Psychology Press.
Chapter in edited book:
Plomin, R., & Dale, P. S. (2000). Genetics and early language development: A UK study of twins. In D. V. M. Bishop & L. B. Leonard (Eds.),Speech and language impairments in children: Causes, characteristics, intervention and outcome (pp. 35-51). Hove, UK: Psychology Press.
Journal article:
Schwartz, M. F., & Hodgson, C. (2002). A new multiword naming deficit: Evidence and interpretation. Cognitive Neuropsychology, 19, 263-288.
Tables. These should be kept to the minimum. Each table should be typed double spaced on a separate sheet, giving the heading, e.g., "Table 2", in Arabic numerals, followed by the legend, followed by the table. Make sure that appropriate units are given. Instructions for placing the table should be given in parentheses in the text, e.g., "(Table 2 about here)".
Figures. Figures should only be used when essential. The same data should not be presented both as a figure and in a table. Where possible, related diagrams should be grouped together to form a single figure. Figures should be drawn to professional standards and it is recommended that the linear dimensions of figures be approximately twice those intended for the final printed version. Each of these should be on a separate page, not integrated with the text. Figures will be reproduced directly from originals supplied by the author(s). These must be of good quality, clearly and completely lettered. Make sure that axes of graphs are properly labelled, and that appropriate units are given. Photocopies will reproduce poorly, as will pale or broken originals. Dense tones should be avoided, and never combined with lettering. Half-tone figures should be clear, highly-contrasted black and white glossy prints.
Black and white figures are included free of charge. Colour figures are not normally acceptable for publication in print-however, it may be possible both to print in black and white and to publish online in colour. Colour figures will only be printed by prior arrangement between the editor(s), publisher and author(s); and authors may be asked to share the costs of inclusion of such figures. The figure captions should be typed in a separate section, headed, e.g., "Figure 2", in Arabic numerals. Instructions for placing the figure should be given in parentheses in the text, e.g., "(Figure 2 about here)". More detailed Guidelines for the preparation of figure artwork are available from the publisher: Psychology Press Ltd, 27 Church Road, Hove, East Sussex BN3 2FA, UK (Email: kate.moysen@psypress.co.uk).
Statistics. Results of statistical tests should be given in the following form:
"... results showed an effect of group, F(2, 21) = 13.74, MSE = 451.98, p < .001, but there was no effect of repeated trials, F(5, 105) = 1.44, MSE = 17.70, and no interaction, F(10, 105) = 1.34, MSE = 17.70."
Other tests should be reported in a similar manner to the above example of an F -ratio. For a fuller explanation of statistical presentation, see pages 136-147 of the APA Publication Manual (5th ed.). For guidelines on presenting statistical significance, see pages 24-25.
Abbreviations. Abbreviations that are specific to a particular manuscript or to a very specific area of research should be avoided, and authors will be asked to spell out in full any such abbreviations throughout the text. Standard abbreviations such as RT for reaction time, SOA for stimulus onset asynchrony or other standard abbreviations that will be readily understood by readers of the journal are acceptable. Experimental conditions should be named in full, except in tables and figures.
AFTER ACCEPTANCE OF PUBLICATION IN THE JOURNAL
Proofs. Page proofs will be emailed to the corresponding author as a PDF attachment to check for typesetting accuracy. No changes to the original typescript will be permitted at this stage. A list of queries raised by the copy editor will also be emailed. Proofs should be returned promptly with the original copy-edited manuscript and query sheet.
Early electronic offprints (e-prints). Specified corresponding authors will receive their article by email as a complete PDF. This allows the author to print up to 50 copies, free of charge, and disseminate them to colleagues. In many cases, this facility will be available up to two weeks prior to print publication of the article. One copy of the journal issue in which their paper appears will be sent by post to all specified corresponding authors free after print publication. Paper offprints can still be purchased by authors if they complete the enclosed offprint order form and return with payment together with their corrected proofs.
