His primary areas of study are Cognition, Cognitive psychology, Affect, Anxiety and Prefrontal cortex. His Cognition research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Audiology. His Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nosology and Taxonomy.
The Affect study combines topics in areas such as Positive emotion, Midcingulate cortex and Depression. His research in Anxiety intersects with topics in Working memory, Electroencephalography and Punishment. His Prefrontal cortex study deals with Developmental psychology intersecting with Clinical psychology and Anger.
Alexander J. Shackman spends much of his time researching Neuroscience, Anxiety, Cognitive psychology, Cognition and Extended amygdala. Alexander J. Shackman interconnects Intervention, Distress, Clinical psychology, Developmental psychology and Temperament in the investigation of issues within Anxiety. He has included themes like Social psychology, Personality, Set, Audiology and Psychopathology in his Developmental psychology study.
Within one scientific family, he focuses on topics pertaining to Facial expression under Cognitive psychology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Laterality. The study incorporates disciplines such as Affect and Electroencephalography in addition to Cognition. His Extended amygdala research integrates issues from Neuroimaging and Research Domain Criteria.
