《認知與發(fā)展》是認知發(fā)展學會(CDS)的官方期刊。一些CDS成員關(guān)注基礎(chǔ)研究或理論;另一些則側(cè)重于政策問題和實際應(yīng)用。興趣范圍包括生命各個階段的認知發(fā)展，我們試圖了解人類和非人類的個體遺傳過程。最后，他們的興趣包括典型的和非典型的發(fā)展，我們試圖描述生物學和文化對認知變化和連續(xù)性的影響。期刊與社會的關(guān)系是共生的，因為期刊為創(chuàng)新研究和理論提供了一個著名的論壇，從而加強了認知發(fā)展領(lǐng)域。

The Journal of Cognition and Development is the official journal of the Cognitive Development Society (CDS). Some CDS members are concerned with basic research or theory; others focus on policy issues and practical applications. The range of interests includes cognitive development during all stages of life, and we seek to understand ontogenetic processes in both humans and nonhumans. Finally, their interests encompass typical as well as atypical development, and we attempt to characterize both biological and cultural influences on cognitive change and continuity.The relationship between the journal and the society is symbiotic in that the journal enhances the field of cognitive development by providing a prestigious forum for innovative research and theory.
