The Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance® publishes studies on perception, control of action, perceptual aspects of language processing, and related cognitive processes. All sensory modalities and motor systems are within its purview.

The journal also encourages studies with a neuroscientific perspective that contribute to the functional understanding of perception and performance. Authors are encouraged to consider and discuss the relevance and implications of their work for other areas of psychology, including those that are not typically featured in the journal.
