視覺認(rèn)知發(fā)表了新的實(shí)證研究，促進(jìn)了對(duì)人類視覺認(rèn)知過程的理論理解。研究可能涉及視覺認(rèn)知的任何方面，如物體、人臉和場(chǎng)景識(shí)別;視覺注意;視覺記憶;視覺文字識(shí)別與閱讀;眼動(dòng)控制和主動(dòng)視覺;和視覺圖像。該雜志致力于視覺感知和認(rèn)知界面的研究，通常不發(fā)表知覺或心理物理學(xué)領(lǐng)域的論文。典型的研究將使用行為方法，但也鼓勵(lì)使用神經(jīng)成像(如fMRI、ERP、MEG)或建模(計(jì)算或數(shù)學(xué))等替代人群或方法的理論問題明確地推動(dòng)報(bào)告。

Visual Cognition publishes new empirical research that advances theoretical understanding of the processes underlying human visual cognition. Studies may address any aspect of visual cognition such as object, face, and scene recognition; visual attention; visual memory; visual word recognition and reading; eye movement control and active vision; and visual imagery. The journal is devoted to research at the interface of visual perception and cognition and does not typically publish papers in areas of perception or psychophysics. The typical study will use behavioral methods, but reports clearly motivated by theoretical issues that use alternative populations or methods such as neuroimaging (e.g., fMRI, ERP, MEG) or modeling (computational or mathematical) are also encouraged.
