MISSION STATEMENT

The Journal of Cognition and Culture provides a forum for the emerging field of cognitive accounts of cultural phenomena and investigations of cultural phenomena that reveal human cognitive regularities. The editors welcome contributions from experimental psychology, developmental psychology, social cognition, neuroscience, human evolution and cognitive anthropology. Cross-cultural studies that emphasize cross-cultural regularities are also encouraged. The primary focus of the journal is on explanations of cultural phenomena in terms of acquisition, representation and transmission involving common cognitive capacities without excluding the study of cultural differences. Of particular interest are empirical contributions to the field, but the editors will also entertain the publication of articles of a more general nature including critical approaches.
