Psychologische Forschung started as a journal "für Psychologie und ihre Grenzgebiete" and became strongly associated with the Berlin school of Gestalt psychology. Parallel to the fate of that school, the Journal was discontinued after 1938 and re-appeared only 1949. A number of years with variable and broad editorial boards and without a clear profile followed. In 1974 the Journal switched to English as the first German psychology journal and became Psychological Research. Gradually and without any abrupt changes-as indicated e.g. by analyses of citing and cited journals-the current profile as "An International Journal of Perception, Attention, Memory, and Action" was developed. During the last one to two decades the number of papers, the number of contributing countries, and the impact increase.
