The Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition is a peer-reviewed academic journal published by the American Psychological Association. It was established in 1975 as an independent section of the Journal of Experimental Psychology and covers research in experimental psychology. More specifically, the journal "publishes original experimental studies on basic processes of cognition, learning, memory, imagery, concept formation, problem solving, decision making, thinking, reading, and language processing".[1] The current editor-in-chief is Aaron S. Benjamin.
The journal has implemented the Transparency and Openness Promotion (TOP) Guidelines.[2] The TOP Guidelines provide structure to research planning and reporting and aim to make research more transparent, accessible, and reproducible.[3]
History

Learning, Memory, and Cognition started in 1982 as volume 8, issue 1.
