Psychology and Aging®
Recent Special Sections:
• Intraindividuality Variability and Aging (December 2009)
• Cognitive Plasticity in the Aging Mind (December 2008)
• Exploring the notion of "lifespan"
The new Editor of Psychology and Aging will tackle a broader age range (from Monitor on Psychology, December 2011)
Psychology and Aging® publishes original articles on adult development and aging. Such original articles include reports of research that may be applied, biobehavioral, clinical, educational, experimental (laboratory, field, or naturalistic studies), methodological, or psychosocial.
Although the emphasis is on original research investigations, occasional theoretical analyses of research issues, practical clinical problems, or policy may appear, as well as critical reviews of a content area in adult development and aging. Clinical case studies that have theoretical significance are also appropriate. Brief reports are acceptable with the author's agreement not to submit a full report to another journal.

Masked Review Policy
Masked reviews are optional, and authors who wish masked reviews must specifically request them at submission.

The word count does not include references, tables, and figures. If you feel that you need extra space, please contact the editor. For example, you may have a complex methodology or statistical approach or a new theoretical framework that requires more text.
Please include the word count for the main text below the keywords.
