Derek G.V. Mitchell spends much of his time researching Developmental psychology, Cognition, Cognitive psychology, Antisocial personality disorder and Amygdala.
His Developmental psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Empathy and Facial expression.
His Cognition and Orbitofrontal cortex and Neural correlates of consciousness investigations all form part of his Cognition research activities.
His studies in Cognitive psychology integrate themes in fields like Insula, Neuroscience and Prefrontal cortex.
Derek G.V. Mitchell has researched Amygdala in several fields, including Posterior cingulate, Anterior cingulate cortex, Anticipation, Brain mapping and Functional specialization.
His Conduct disorder study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Comorbidity and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
His most cited work include:
- Reduced Amygdala Response to Fearful Expressions in Children and Adolescents With Callous-Unemotional Traits and Disruptive Behavior Disorders (638 citations)
- A selective impairment in the processing of sad and fearful expressions in children with psychopathic tendencies. (582 citations)
- The Psychopath: Emotion and the Brain (444 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cognitive psychology, Developmental psychology, Cognition, Amygdala and Facial expression.
The various areas that Derek G.V. Mitchell examines in his Cognitive psychology study include Inferior frontal gyrus, Stimulus, Neuroscience, Brain mapping and Prefrontal cortex.
His work on Conduct disorder as part of his general Developmental psychology study is frequently connected to Antisocial personality disorder and Psychopathy Checklist, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science.
His research in Cognition intersects with topics in Arousal and Eye movement.
His Amygdala study deals with Punishment intersecting with Reinforcement.
His Facial expression research incorporates elements of Neural correlates of consciousness, Prosocial behavior, Visual cortex and Emotional expression.
He most often published in these fields:
- Cognitive psychology (56.98%)
- Developmental psychology (41.86%)
- Cognition (25.58%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?
- Cognitive psychology (56.98%)
- Empathy (13.95%)
- Visual perception (8.14%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary scientific interests are in Cognitive psychology, Empathy, Visual perception, Major depressive disorder and Developmental psychology.
His Cognitive psychology research includes elements of Neural correlates of consciousness, Dissociation and Neuroimaging.
His study explores the link between Neural correlates of consciousness and topics such as Temporoparietal junction that cross with problems in Amygdala, Social psychology and Insula.
His Empathy research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Facial expression, Inferior frontal gyrus and Emotional expression.
Within one scientific family, Derek G.V. Mitchell focuses on topics pertaining to Spatial intelligence under Visual perception, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Cognition.
Developmental psychology and Eye tracking are commonly linked in his work.
Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Guiding Low Spatial Ability Individuals through Visual Cueing: The Dual Importance of Where and When to Look. (15 citations)
- Emotion and personal space: Neural correlates of approach-avoidance tendencies to different facial expressions as a function of coldhearted psychopathic traits (14 citations)
- Spatially generalizable representations of facial expressions: Decoding across partial face samples (11 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Cognition
- Neuroscience
- Psychiatry
Visual perception, Spatial ability, Spatial intelligence, Mental rotation and Cognitive psychology are his primary areas of study.
The various areas that Derek G.V. Mitchell examines in his Visual perception study include Eye tracking, Cognition and Developmental psychology.
His Eye tracking research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Fixation and Spatial memory.
His research integrates issues of Visual search, Aptitude and Eye movement in his study of Cognition.
His Cognitive psychology research includes themes of Temporoparietal junction, Neural correlates of consciousness, Empathy and Amygdala.
