Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Social psychology

His main research concerns Social psychology, Cognitive psychology, Task, Categorization and Heuristics. The Social psychology study combines topics in areas such as Sampling, Sampling bias, Description-experience gap, Rare events and Heuristic. His work on Subliminal stimuli as part of general Cognitive psychology research is frequently linked to Deliberation, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science.

His research integrates issues of Period, Recognition heuristic, Categorical variable, Ecological rationality and Fluency in his study of Task. His Categorization research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Concept learning, Probabilistic logic, Implicit learning and Regression. As a part of the same scientific family, Ben R. Newell mostly works in the field of Heuristics, focusing on Bounded rationality and, on occasion, Empirical research.

His most cited work include:

  • Unconscious influences on decision making: a critical review. (278 citations)
  • Take the best or look at the rest? Factors influencing "one-reason" decision making. (213 citations)
  • Universal aesthetic of fractals (188 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Social psychology, Cognitive psychology, Task, Actuarial science and Econometrics. His work is dedicated to discovering how Social psychology, Outcome are connected with Sample and Sampling and other disciplines. His Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Categorization, Implicit learning and Perception.

His Task course of study focuses on Artificial intelligence and Heuristics and Natural language processing. He focuses mostly in the field of Actuarial science, narrowing it down to matters related to Investment and, in some cases, Turnover. His study in Econometrics is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Bayesian probability and Function.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Social psychology (31.22%)
  • Cognitive psychology (27.60%)
  • Task (14.03%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Cognitive psychology (27.60%)
  • Task (14.03%)
  • PsycINFO (3.62%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Cognitive psychology, Task, PsycINFO, Outcome and Social psychology. Ben R. Newell works on Cognitive psychology which deals in particular with Concept learning. His Concept learning research includes elements of Categorization and Testimonial.

His Task study incorporates themes from Applied psychology, Proactivity and Action. His studies deal with areas such as Description-experience gap, Sampling, Sample and Mechanism as well as Outcome. His research in Social psychology intersects with topics in Structural equation modeling and Preference.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Predicting climate change risk perception and willingness to act (23 citations)
  • Simultaneous underweighting and overestimation of rare events: Unpacking a paradox. (8 citations)
  • Engagement with Retirement Savings: It Is a Matter of Trust (7 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Social psychology

Ben R. Newell mostly deals with Cognitive psychology, Concept learning, Rare events, Outcome and PsycINFO. The study incorporates disciplines such as Metacognition and Task in addition to Cognitive psychology. The various areas that Ben R. Newell examines in his Task study include Sampling, Sample and Perception.

Ben R. Newell interconnects Categorization and Testimonial in the investigation of issues within Concept learning. His Rare events research incorporates themes from Event, Actuarial science, Interpretation, Unpacking and Incentive. His studies in Outcome integrate themes in fields like Description-experience gap, Cumulative prospect theory, Juncture and Mechanism.
