Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Memory and Language investigates cognitive processes related to language, including how linguistic information is processed, stored, and retrieved in memory. Research explores the influence of language on memory reconstruction, the role of working memory in language comprehension, and the impact of phonological and orthographic similarity on language processing. Studies also examine how factors like cognitive load, arousal, and linguistic aspect affect memory and language tasks.
