Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

His primary scientific interests are in Working memory, Cognition, Cognitive psychology, Developmental psychology and Short-term memory. The various areas that Akira Miyake examines in his Working memory study include Cognitive science, Comprehension and Reading. His Cognition study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Latent variable, Task and Set.

His Cognitive psychology research includes elements of Control, Functional neuroimaging, Articulatory suppression, Elementary cognitive task and Attentional control. His studies deal with areas such as Twin study, Heritability and Executive functions as well as Developmental psychology. The Short-term memory study combines topics in areas such as Syntax, Child development, Reading comprehension and Spatial memory.

His most cited work include:

  • The unity and diversity of executive functions and their contributions to complex "Frontal Lobe" tasks: a latent variable analysis. (8779 citations)
  • Models of Working Memory: Mechanisms of Active Maintenance and Executive Control (1932 citations)
  • The Nature and Organization of Individual Differences in Executive Functions: Four General Conclusions (1774 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His main research concerns Internal medicine, Endocrinology, Geochemistry, Mineralogy and Cognitive psychology. Hypothalamus, Anterior pituitary, Estrogen, Gonadotropin and Epidermal growth factor are among the areas of Internal medicine where Akira Miyake concentrates his study. His Endocrinology research focuses on Luteinizing hormone, Hormone, Pituitary gland, Prolactin and Secretion.

His Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Working memory and Cognition. He specializes in Working memory, namely Short-term memory. His Cognition research focuses on subjects like Developmental psychology, which are linked to Executive functions.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internal medicine (30.60%)
  • Endocrinology (29.54%)
  • Geochemistry (9.61%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Geochemistry (9.61%)
  • Mineralogy (9.43%)
  • Astrobiology (3.74%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Geochemistry, Mineralogy, Astrobiology, Meteorite and Carbonaceous chondrite are his primary areas of study. His Xenolith, Metamorphic rock and Olivine study in the realm of Geochemistry connects with subjects such as Coesite. Akira Miyake performs multidisciplinary study on Mineralogy and Sillimanite in his works.

His work in the fields of Astrobiology, such as Asteroid and Space weathering, intersects with other areas such as Lunar meteorite. In general Meteorite study, his work on Formation and evolution of the Solar System often relates to the realm of Clan, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His Carbonaceous chondrite research is multidisciplinary, relying on both COSMIC cancer database, Microstructure and Parent body.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Unity and diversity of executive functions: Individual differences as a window on cognitive structure. (472 citations)
  • Stability and Change in Executive Function Abilities from Late Adolescence to Early Adulthood: A Longitudinal Twin Study. (99 citations)
  • No Evidence of the Ego-Depletion Effect across Task Characteristics and Individual Differences: A Pre-Registered Study (84 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Internal medicine
  • Gene
  • Enzyme

Akira Miyake spends much of his time researching Cognitive psychology, Cognition, Executive functions, Meteorite and Mineralogy. His work deals with themes such as Working memory, Attentional control, Dysphoria and Cognitive flexibility, which intersect with Cognitive psychology. His Working memory research is mostly focused on the topic Short-term memory.

Akira Miyake combines subjects such as Repetition and Dyad with his study of Cognition. His Executive functions research incorporates elements of Developmental psychology, Twin study, Worry and Affect. His work is dedicated to discovering how Mineralogy, Crystal are connected with Microlite, Focused ion beam, Inclusion and Fluid inclusions and other disciplines.
