What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Cognitive science
- Artificial intelligence
- Social psychology
His primary areas of investigation include Cognitive psychology, Theory of mind, Developmental psychology, Cognitive development and Cognitive science.
His work on Metarepresentation and Theory-theory as part of general Theory of mind study is frequently linked to Modular design, bridging the gap between disciplines.
Developmental psychology is a component of his Autism and Autistic child studies.
In his study, Mental age, Mind-blindness and Language disorder is inextricably linked to Mental representation, which falls within the broad field of Autism.
His Cognitive development research includes elements of Attribution, Social perception, Cognitive module, Metacognition and Concept learning.
His Cognitive science study incorporates themes from Social psychology, Communication, Core, Agency and Domain specificity.
His most cited work include:
- Does the autistic child have a theory of mind (5315 citations)
- Pretense and representation: The origins of "theory of mind." (2254 citations)
- Mapping the mind: ToMM, ToBY, and Agency: Core architecture and domain specificity (754 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Alan M. Leslie focuses on Cognitive psychology, Theory of mind, Cognitive development, Cognitive science and Developmental psychology.
His Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Social psychology, Attribution, Perception, Social cognition and Object.
His Theory of mind research focuses on Metarepresentation and Theory-theory.
His Cognitive development study deals with Concept learning intersecting with Metacognition.
His Autism and Child development study in the realm of Developmental psychology interacts with subjects such as Comprehension.
His Autism research includes elements of Mental age, Mental representation and Mind-blindness.
He most often published in these fields:
- Cognitive psychology (51.02%)
- Theory of mind (35.71%)
- Cognitive development (26.53%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2020)?
- Cognitive psychology (51.02%)
- Theory of mind (35.71%)
- Action (9.18%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Cognitive psychology, Theory of mind, Action, Test and Cognitive science are his primary areas of study.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Structure, Eye tracking, Generalization, Implicit personality theory and Competence in addition to Cognitive psychology.
Alan M. Leslie works mostly in the field of Theory of mind, limiting it down to topics relating to Bayesian probability and, in certain cases, Developmental change.
His work deals with themes such as Moral development, Empirical research and Inference, which intersect with Action.
His studies deal with areas such as Moral intuitions, Mental representation and Embodied cognition as well as Test.
Alan M. Leslie performs integrative study on Cognitive science and Process.
Between 2015 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Children's Sharing Behavior in Mini-Dictator Games: The Role of In-Group Favoritism and Theory of Mind. (44 citations)
- Is Implicit Theory of Mind the ‘Real Deal’? The Own‐Belief/True‐Belief Default in Adults and Young Preschoolers (27 citations)
- Conceptually Rich, Perceptually Sparse: Object Representations in 6-Month-Old Infants' Working Memory. (11 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Artificial intelligence
- Cognitive science
- Social psychology
Alan M. Leslie spends much of his time researching Cognitive psychology, Theory of mind, Cognitive development, Eye tracking and Implicit personality theory.
His research integrates issues of Content, Working memory, Object and Categorical variable in his study of Cognitive psychology.
His Theory of mind research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Cognitive science, Bayesian probability and Developmental change.
His work carried out in the field of Cognitive development brings together such families of science as Representation, Interpersonal relationship and Perception.
His research on Eye tracking often connects related topics like Competence.
