Overview

Top Research Topics at Cognitive Neuropsychology?

The journal primarily tackles Cognitive psychology, Cognition, Linguistics, Developmental psychology and Language disorder. Some problems in Cognitive psychology that were presented in Cognitive Neuropsychology overlapped with concepts under Semantic memory, Perception and Dyslexia, Reading (process). While work presented in it provided substantial information on Semantic memory, it also covered topics in Semantics, Semantic dementia and Categorization.

Perception study tackled is connected to the field of Communication. The work on Dyslexia tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Word recognition and Lexical decision task. The overlapping concepts between Cognitive science and Cognitive neuropsychology are the key highlights of Cognition study.

It aims to address concerns in Linguistics, specifically in the areas of Orthography, Spelling, Comprehension, Lexicon and Noun. The work tackled in it goes beyond the discipline of Developmental psychology as it also encompasses Cognitive disorder. The studies tackled, which mainly focus on Language disorder, apply to Phonology as well.

What topics the last edition of the journal is best known for?

  • Cognition
  • Linguistics
  • Neuroscience

The previous edition focused in particular on these issues:

The main points discussed in Cognitive Neuropsychology deals with Cognitive psychology, Control (linguistics), Aphasia, Cognition and Facial recognition system. Serial position effect are all disciplines of Cognitive psychology that connect with topics in Point (typography). Topics in Control (linguistics) were tackled in line with various other fields like Aphasiology, Language production, Apraxia, Utterance and Executive functions.

The Aphasia works featured in Cognitive Neuropsychology incorporate elements from Noun, Linguistics, Possession (linguistics), Morpheme and Syllable. In it, Intervention (counseling), Methylphenidate and Impulse (psychology) are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Cognition research. It focuses on Facial recognition system but the discussions also offer insight into other areas such as Normal face, Dissociation (neuropsychology), Cognitive neuroscience of visual object recognition, Pure alexia and Word recognition.

The most cited articles from the last journal are:

  • Salience driven attention is pivotal to understanding others' intentions. (2 citations)
  • Face recognition in developmental dyslexia: evidence for dissociation between faces and words (2 citations)
  • Examining speech motor planning difficulties in apraxia of speech and aphasia via the sequential production of phonetically similar words. (2 citations)

Publication chance based on affiliation

The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.

The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.

During the most recent 2021 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 11.76% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 11.76% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 23.53% of all publications and 52.94% were from other institutions.

Returning Authors Index

A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.

The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.

Returning Institution Index

The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.

The experience to innovation index

Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).

The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:

  • Novice - P < 5 or C < 25 (the number of publications less than 5 or the number of citations less than 25),
  • Competent - P < 10 or C < 100 (the number of publications less than 10 or the number of citations less than 100),
  • Experienced - P < 25 or C < 625 (the number of publications less than 25 or the number of citations less than 625),
  • Master - P < 50 or C < 2500 (the number of publications less than 50 or the number of citations less than 2500),
  • Star - P ≥ 50 and C ≥ 2500 (both the number of publications greater than 50 and the number of citations greater than 2500).

The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

Relevance of Cognitive Neuropsychology to Practical Fields

The study of cognitive neuropsychology doesn't just exist within the realm of academia. Its principles and findings offer numerous practical applications, particularly in the healthcare sector. One field in which cognitive neuropsychology is increasingly significant is speech therapy. For instance, cognitive neuropsychologists studying semantic memory and speech perception can provide invaluable insights to speech therapists, helping them devise better strategies for treating language disorders. Cognitive neuropsychology helps therapists understand the cognitive processes that underlie language comprehension and expression. A good example of this is the state of Idaho, where the demand for speech-language pathologists is growing due to the increasing recognition of the role cognitive neuropsychology plays in this field. People interested in becoming a speech therapist in Idaho need to understand not just the physical aspects of speech but also the cognitive aspects, including language comprehension and semantic memory. For more information on how to leverage your understanding of cognitive neuropsychology to become a speech-language pathologist in Idaho, check out this comprehensive guide on how to be a speech therapist in Idaho. Understanding cognitive neuropsychology can surely equip prospective speech therapists with the knowledge required to provide effective treatments. Through studying cognitive neuropsychology, we can make significant strides in various sectors beyond academia, making this a truly versatile field of study.
