ABSTRACT
This short review summarizes the ways in which articles published in Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition have changed over the past 25 years, with a special focus on the 6 years of my recently completed editorial term (2018-2024). We evaluated the content of articles in the journal with respect to areas of priority outlined in my inaugural Editorial (Benjamin, 2019), including sample sizes, statistical approaches, and a number of other factors. Enhancements that stand to increase replicability, reproducibility, and open scientific exchange are evident but in certain areas are more modest than others. Establishing changes to a scientific culture requires consistent assays of the field and its behaviors, as well as a long time horizon for measuring change.
