About this journal

Devoted to exploring relationships between brain and behavior across the life span, Developmental Neuropsychology publishes scholarly papers on the appearance and development of behavioral functions, such as language, perception, and social, motivational and cognitive processes as they relate to brain functions and structures. Appropriate subjects include studies of changes in cognitive function—brain structure relationships across a time period, early cognitive behaviors in normal and brain-damaged children, plasticity and recovery of function after early brain damage, the development of complex cognitive and motor skills, and specific and nonspecific disturbances, such as learning disabilities, mental retardation, schizophrenia, stuttering, and developmental aphasia. In the gerontologic areas, relevant subjects include neuropsychological analyses of normal age-related changes in brain and behavioral functions, such as sensory, motor, cognitive, and adaptive abilities; studies of age-related diseases of the nervous system; and recovery of function in later life.

Empirical studies, research reviews, case reports, critical commentaries, and book reviews are featured in each issue. By publishing both basic and clinical studies of the developing and aging brain, the journal encourages additional scholarly work that advances understanding of the field of lifespan developmental neuropsychology.

Readership: Behavioral and developmental psychologists, neuropsychologists, and neuroscientists.

Special Issues: Special issues organized around a central theme are published from time to time in this journal. Previous special issues have included such topics as Exceptional Children, Executive Functions, Motor Development, Williams Syndrome, Neuroassessment, Learning Disabilities, and Infant Neurocognitive Development.

Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and a double-anonymized peer review policy.
