Manuscript Submission

Learning & Behavior publishes experimental and theoretical contributions and critical reviews concerning fundamental processes of learning and behavior in non-human and human animals. Examples are sensation, perception, conditioning, learning, attention, memory, motivation, emotion, development, and social behavior.

Theoretical articles should provide interesting and reasonable alternatives to existing ideas, and must reflect familiarity with the existing work in the area of the article. Reviews of the literature should be critical, have an appreciable theoretical content, and not be primarily bibliographic in their impact.

This journal is published by the Psychonomic Society under the direction of its Publications Committee (Chair, 2008: Mary A. Peterson).

The Publications Committee of the Psychonomic Society and the Editor expect that human and animal subjects will be treated ethically. Mistreatment of subjects is grounds for rejection of a manuscript.

Submissions. Authors can submit manuscripts for consideration by Editor Geoffrey Hall by visiting mc.manuscriptcentral.com/lb.

Copyright and Permission: Authors must secure from both the Psychonomic Society and the author of reproduced material written permission to quote text of more than 500 words or to reproduce two or more tables or figures from any article published in this journal, except for the few that are in the public domain. The Psychonomic Society normally grants permission contingent upon the author's permission, a complete citation of source, and payment of a $10 fee per article from which material is taken. The fee only is waived for authors who wish to use their own material commercially.

Permission from the Society is waived for authors who wish to reproduce a single table or figure, provided the author's permission is obtained and full credit is given to the Psychonomic Society and the author through a complete citation. (If written permission is requested for commercial use of a single table or figure, the $10 fee will be assessed.) Permission and fees are waived for authors who wish to reproduce their own material for personal use, and for others to make single or multiple copies of single articles for personal, noncommercial scholarly or for nonprofit, educational classroom use. Extensive use of copy privileges in such a way as to substitute for a subscription to this journal is not intended or permitted.
