Aims and Scope

Aims

    The Iranian Journal of Learning and Memory (IJLM) is an open-access, peer-reviewed international quarterly journal published in English by the Iranian Educational Psychology Association (IEPA). The journal aims to advance scientific understanding of the brain's role in learning and memory by providing a rigorous, interdisciplinary forum for the dissemination of high-quality theoretical, empirical, and applied research.

    The IJLM is committed to stimulating systematic investigation into brain–behavior relationships and to bridging basic and applied research with clinical and educational practice. By publishing original research, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and theoretical articles, the journal seeks to foster dialogue among researchers, clinicians, and educators worldwide and to contribute to the improvement of clinical practice and educational outcomes. The journal welcomes submissions that carry implications for neuropsychological research, theory, and practice, and it actively promotes the study of learning, memory systems and stages, behavioral components, and behavioral and cognitive approaches to human learning and memory.

Scope

    The IJLM publishes the highest-quality original contributions —including original research, empirical research, systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and theoretical articles— addressing the relationship between the brain and human cognitive, emotional, and behavioral functions. Both basic and applied research, as well as clinical research, fall within the journal's scope. The journal's coverage includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

  • Mind,

  • Memory,

  • Learning intelligence,

  • Behavioral neurology,

  • Cognition and behavior,

    Within these domains, the IJLM particularly welcomes work on forms of learning, memory systems and stages, behavioral components, and behavioral and cognitive approaches to human learning and memory. As an international quarterly, the journal serves a global readership of scholars, practitioners, and students across psychology, neuroscience, education, and related disciplines.
