Curated content celebrating the impact of the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception & Performance

The year 2025 marked the 50th anniversary of the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception & Performance (JEP:HPP). To celebrate, the editorial team curated a series of articles that explored the impact, the reach, and the value of research published in JEP:HPP. The anniversary series of articles included seven invited literature reviews, three editorial perspectives, and seventeen readers’ perspectives. Their citations are listed below for easy access.

The editors of the celebratory volume, J. Ristic and I. Gauthier, once again extend their warmest gratitude to all authors, reviewers, and editorial colleagues who enthusiastically engaged with celebratory articles. It was a pleasure working with you. Cheers to the 50th!
