Journal of Experimental Psychology

The Journal of Experimental Psychology was a bimonthly peer-reviewed academic journal published by American Psychological Association. Established in 1916, it became the association's largest and most prestigious journal by the mid-1970s, when dissatisfaction with publication lag led the organization to restructure the journal. Beginning in 1975, it was split into four independently edited and distributed successor journals, with an additional successor journal being added in 1995.
