Psychologia on
Evidence and Narratives in Psychotherapy Research and Practice
The guest editor of Psychologia invites researchers and practitioners to submit original articles for a special issue on evidence and narratives in psychotherapy research and practice. Historically, outcome research has favored quantitative data, while process research has valued narrative or qualitative data. In practice, outcome assessment of psychotherapy is informed by assessment of therapeutic process. The special issue welcomes papers on innovative approaches to evaluating psychotherapy process and outcome using a variety of clinical research designs. We welcome papers illustrating complementary roles of quantitative and qualitative data in contextualized case-based studies and studies evaluating process components in evidence-based psychotherapies. Both conceptual and empirical papers will be considered.
The guest editor of this special issue is Dr. Junko Tanaka-Matsumi.
Four copies of submissions should be sent to the guest editor at the address below.
Deadline for submission: 30 January, 2013
Submitted papers will undergo a process of peer review.

Cognitive Studies in the Real World.
As we all know, human cognitive processes are the basis of human behavior and, in turn, of their life. This means studies of cognitive psychology could have tremendous possibilities to be powerful and useful to understand human mind and society in the real world. Aiming to be a meaningful scientific enterprise, this special issue call for papers reporting cognitive studies which deliberately relate themselves to the real world. The diverse range of relationships between the reported study and the real world will be accepted; for example, a laboratory experiments with real-world stimulus, a cognitive analysis on observatory data of the real world, a simulation study or a traditional hypothesis-verification experimental study about real world phenomena, to name a few. The guest editor of this special issue is Prof. Etsuko T. Harada. Manuscript submission should be made via e-mail psysoc2

Call for Papers for a Special Issue of Psychologia on
Interactions within and between Psychological Sciences.
Psychology is a multidisciplinary field that investigates mental functions and behaviors. As subdivision of psychology has progressed and consolidated, interactions between subfields and collaborations with other related fields have become easier said than done. However, to provide elucidations and potential solutions for our real-life issues, the importance of interaction among subdivisions of psychology and/or between psychology and other related fields has kept accumulating.
This special issue of Psychologia will publish a collection of papers reflecting this situation. The terms: "subdivision", "related field", and "real-life" may be loosely defined; therefore any studies that involve research interaction among more than two subfields of psychology and/or collaboration with other fields are welcome. However, all contributions must contain a discussion based on empirical data and clearly state how the study (or study proposal) is related to issues in the real-life.
The guest editor of this special issue is Dr. Katsumi Watanabe. Manuscript submission should be made via e-mail <submission{at}fennel.rcast.u-tokyo.ac.jp>. For instructions to authors, please see http://www.educ.kyoto-u.ac.jp/cogpsy/psychologia/index.htm.

Learning Science
Learning science is a new field that combines brain science, cognitive science and educational psychology as one clinical science. Principally, it addresses learning disabilities and can be considered as an interdisciplinary field working to resolve those issues.
First, in order to establish learning support, the learning principles developed by cognitive research are used as an effective framework. Furthermore, an accurate and detailed assessment of the learning disability is a premise for proceeding with learning support for children with learning disabilities. In learning science, the development of accumulated social technologies can be illustrated in terms of the assessment of learning difficulties in addition to the development, application, reassessment, and expansion of the scope of learning support systems.
This special issue of Psychologia will publish a collection of papers reflecting this new research approach based upon Learning Science. The guest editor of this special issue is Dr. Nobuo Masataka. One original and three copies of submissions should be sent to the guest editor at the address below.

Neuroscience on Emotion
In history of psychology, emotion is one of the oldest topics. Emotion is a well established system which has been developed in processes of evolution to enable us to survive in environments. Especially in humans, appropriate regulation of emotions is critical for survival in social environments. To date, in psychology, a huge amount of works has been accumulated about basic characteristics, mechanisms, applied implications for everyday-life, and abnormality of emotions. Recently, stimulated by substantial advancements of basic neuroscience, psychological studies on emotions are being reorganized on the basis of neural mechanisms.
This special issue of Psychologia aims at publishing papers reflecting new directions of research on emotions from the perspective of neuroscience and psychophysiology. We welcome papers on original empirical works on emotions using methodologies of neuroimaging, electrophysiology, neuropsychology, animal studies, genetic and molecular physiology, and computational modeling. Papers on applied fields of neuroscience on emotions such as psychiatry, clinical psychology, abnormal psychology, social psychology, cultural psychology, and brain-machine-interface are also welcome. Furthermore, theoretical reviews and discussions may be considered. The guest editor of this special issue is Dr. Hideki Ohira (see below). One original and three copies of the submissions should be sent to. Dr. Hideki Ohira. For instructions to authors, please see http://www.educ.kyoto-u.ac.jp/cogpsy/psychologia/index.htm

Psychotherapy in the Changing World and Consciousness.
It is very symbolic that "The Interpretation of dreams"( Freud) was published in 1900. Started with this event, 20th century had been a period of psychology and psychotherapy. Various schools and new ideas of psychotherapy came into being in the last century. But in recent years the situation seems to be changing. There are more requests for psychotherapy in which therapists are sent to the fields and to the patients (in the hospital, school, natural disasters etc.). The quality of clients is also changing. There are increasing numbers of patients who have less and even no conflicts. This special issue aims at publishing a collection of papers reflecting the above described situation of psychotherapy. We welcome papers on new forms and/or new problems of psychotherapy. The methodology can be based on clinical case studies, theoretical papers, or empirical studies.
Four copies of manuscript shous be sent to Dr. Toshio Kawai.

Change Blindness and Visual Short-term Memory
It has been a decade since a couple of influential papers on visual cognition were published: Rensink, O’Regan & Clark (1997) on change blindness, and Luck & Vogel (1997) on visual short-term memory. These papers and others attracted researchers’ attention to issues on the nature of visual attention, visual memory, and scene perception. Since then, there has been great progress in our understanding of the mechanisms involved, and at the same time, various new directions, including individual variability, cultural differences, roles of social context, effects of emotion, effects of training and expertise, etc., have emerged.
This special issue of Psychologia aims at publishing a collection of papers reflecting new directions of research on change blindness and visual short-term memory. This issue will feature an invited article by Ronald Rensink on “a new decade of change blindness research”. We consider papers on change blindness and visual short-term memory in a broader sense, both on basic mechanisms and on new directions including various applications. We welcome papers on original empirical work, but theoretical reviews and discussions may also be considered. The guest editor of this special issue is Dr. Jun Saiki (see below). One original and three copies of the submissions should be sent to Dr. Jun Saiki. For instructions to authors, please see http://www.educ.Kyoto-u.ac.jp/cogpsy/psychologia/index.htm

Development of Social Cognition
In recent years, there have been substantial advancements in research on the development of social cognition, or children’s developing understanding of the social world around them. Researchers have addressed this issue from diverse theoretical and methodological perspectives and examined a wide range of topics such as children’s understanding of intentionality (theory of mind), morality, communication, race, religion, politics, and many other social entities and social processes.
The goal of this special issue of Psychologia is to address the development of social cognition and its mechanisms from new perspectives, novel experimental paradigms, and new data. We welcome all relevant papers, especially those based on new empirical work. Thematic reviews and discussions are also suitable. There are two guest editors of this special issue: Dr. Shoji Itakura and Dr. Kang Lee (see below). One original and three copies of submissions should be sent to Dr. Shoji Itakura.

Foundations of Social Knowledge
Resent research in social cognition has grown to cover a wide variety of areas ranging from physiological and brain activities to language and communication, intergroup relations, organizational behavior, and cultural bases of human cognition. The newly developed interests in such diverse areas are promising additions to the “classic” issues including person perception, inference on social events, and decision making processes, which are still among the favorites of researchers in this field. This special issue of Psychologia attempts to provide a forum to discuss different levels of psychological processes that may serve as bases for our social cognition. Empirical contributions from diverse perspectives are welcome to clarify how humans make sense of the social world.
Four copies of submissions should be sent to Dr. Minoru Karasawa.

Applied Research in University Student Learning
In this special
issue, we welcome papers that are concerned with the processes of,
and factors that impact on, student learning at the tertiary
level. This broad area of research is increasingly becoming important
with the recent global trend towards greater accountability and more
effective management of universities and other tertiary institutions.
Papers need to be research-based and to have an applied focus. However,
the topic of student learning can be taken in its broadest sense and

Cross-Cultural/Gender Studies on Experiences
and Expressions of Emotion
Beyond the debate on cross-cultural universality versus differences in emotions,
it is necessary to accumulate data on similarities and differences in emotions
among groups with the different backgrounds, such as culture and gender.
Further investigations should deepen our understanding of the universal aspects
of emotions and of the factors differentiating groups in their emotional
experiences and expressions. In this special issue, we welcome studies focusing
on cross-cultural/gender similarities and differences in emotional experiences and
expressions.
