Perceptual and Motor Skills
Since 1949, Perceptual and Motor Skills has been dedicated to publishing basic and applied research in perception, cognition, and motor skills. In January 2025, Dr Oliver R. Runswick took the helm as Editor-in-Chief and aims to renew the journal’s focus on its core topics while promoting a new era of high-quality and open science. We will consider theoretical and empirical work as well as high-quality scoping reviews, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.
The journal aims to publish high-quality basic and applied work in four key themes:
- Measurement and methods in perceptual and motor skills
- Learning and development of perceptual and motor skills
- Clinical issues in perceptual and motor skills
- Performance of perceptual and motor skills.
This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

We encourage work with a direct focus on vision, perception, cognition, learning, and motor control. The journal aims to publish high-quality basic and applied work in four key themes:
(i) Measurement and methods in perceptual and motor skills
(ii) Learning and development of perceptual and motor skills
(iii) Clinical issues in perceptual and motor skills
(iv) Performance of perceptual and motor skills.
The journal has a strong history of studying perceptual and motor skills in fields as diverse as clinical populations and high-performance sports. However, we welcome basic research and applied work from many from many domains, such as music, dance, education, aerospace, and services.
