What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Social psychology
- Cognition
- Neuroscience
Alan G. Sanfey mainly investigates Cognitive psychology, Brain mapping, Social psychology, Cognition and Neuroscience.
His Cognitive psychology study combines topics in areas such as Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Prefrontal cortex, Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
In most of his Brain mapping studies, his work intersects topics such as Insula.
The Insula study combines topics in areas such as Developmental psychology and Affect.
His work carried out in the field of Developmental psychology brings together such families of science as Middle frontal gyrus, Conscious awareness, Inference and Functional connectivity.
His Cognition research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Confirmation bias and Reinforcement learning.
His most cited work include:
- Decoding the Role of the Insula in Human Cognition: Functional Parcellation and Large-Scale Reverse Inference (561 citations)
- Decoding the Role of the Insula in Human Cognition: Functional Parcellation and Large-Scale Reverse Inference (561 citations)
- Social decision-making: insights from game theory and neuroscience. (468 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Social psychology, Cognitive psychology, Dictator game, Ultimatum game and Developmental psychology.
His work on Social decision making and Social relation as part of general Social psychology research is frequently linked to Economic decision making, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.
His study in Cognitive psychology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Perception, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Neuroimaging and Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.
His research in Developmental psychology intersects with topics in Insula, Cognition and Dilemma.
His research in Insula intersects with topics in Middle frontal gyrus, Affect and Brain mapping.
His Brain mapping study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Conscious awareness, Inference and Functional connectivity.
He most often published in these fields:
- Social psychology (47.58%)
- Cognitive psychology (37.90%)
- Dictator game (20.97%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?
- Cognitive psychology (37.90%)
- Dictator game (20.97%)
- Social psychology (47.58%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Cognitive psychology, Dictator game, Social psychology, Task and Social decision making.
His study in the fields of Valence under the domain of Cognitive psychology overlaps with other disciplines such as Ventral striatum.
His Dictator game research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Reciprocity, Ultimatum game and Reciprocity.
He frequently studies issues relating to Brain mapping and Reciprocity.
His Social preferences study in the realm of Social psychology interacts with subjects such as Trustworthiness, Methylphenidate and Social learning.
His Social decision making research includes themes of Social relation and Affect.
Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- The computational and neural substrates of moral strategies in social decision-making. (33 citations)
- A scarcity mindset alters neural processing underlying consumer decision making (7 citations)
- Neurocognitive mechanisms of reactions to second- and third-party justice violations (5 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Social psychology
- Cognition
- Sociology
Cognitive psychology, Dictator game, Preference, Arousal and Social decision making are his primary areas of study.
His Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Orbitofrontal cortex, Consumer choice, Dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, Willingness to pay and Scarcity.
His Dictator game research integrates issues from Reciprocity, Emotional reaction, Empathic concern and Psychopathy.
His Preference research incorporates elements of Outcome and SAFER.
He works mostly in the field of Arousal, limiting it down to topics relating to Valence and, in certain cases, Voxel, Cognitive appraisal, Cognition and Ultimatum game.
Alan G. Sanfey has included themes like Reciprocity, Affect and Brain mapping in his Social decision making study.
