I am interested in subscribing to a neuropsyc journal. Is there any particular journal one would recommend to a novice like myself?

Professional journal subscriptions are pretty pricy, tending to range from about $150 / year and up.

What you should do is join either the National Academy of Neuropsychology or the International Neuropsychological Society (both can be found in the Organizations section of the links pages of this site). Student membership is pretty reasonable in both organizations, and you get a free subscription to either Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology (if you join NAN) or the Journal of INS (if you join INS), both of which are very well-respected journals.

I personally think Archives makes more sense (in terms of language), so I'd join NAN if you're not yet too familiar with the clinical neuropsychology literature. However, if you're more into imaging and cognitive psych than assessment and treatment, JINS has more of that stuff, so in that case join INS.

Have fun.
