This quarterly journal provides an international  forum for the discussiokn and rapid dissemination of 
research findings in psychology relevant  to education.  The journal places particular emphasis on the 
publishing of papers reporting applied research based on experimental and behavioural studies. Reviews 
of relevant areas of literature also appear from time to time. The aim of the journal is to be a primary 
source  for articles  dealing with the psycholological  aspects  of education  ranging from  pre-school  to 
tertiary provision  and the education  of children with special needs.  The prompt publication of high- 
quality articles  is the journal’s  first  priority.  All contributions  are  submitted  ‘blind’  to at least  two 
independent referees before acceptance for publication.  The journal is indexed/abstracted in the follow- 
ing periodicals: International Bibliography of Periodical Literature; International Bibliography of Book Reviews.
