What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Linguistics
- Cognition
- Cognitive psychology
Donald G. MacKay mainly focuses on Cognitive psychology, Linguistics, Cognition, Perception and Recall.
Donald G. MacKay has included themes like Semantic memory, Explicit memory, Comprehension and Action in his Cognitive psychology study.
Linguistics connects with themes related to Laughter in his study.
Donald G. MacKay combines subjects such as Context and Cognitive science with his study of Cognition.
Recovery cycle and Common coding theory is closely connected to Cognitive skill in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Perception.
The Recall study which covers Word recognition that intersects with Rapid serial visual presentation, Experimental psychology and Speech production.
His most cited work include:
- On the tip of the tongue: What causes word finding failures in young and older adults? (717 citations)
- The Problems of Flexibility, Fluency, and Speed-Accuracy Trade-Off in Skilled Behavior. (420 citations)
- The Organization of Perception and Action: A Theory for Language and Other Cognitive Skills (413 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cognitive psychology, Linguistics, Perception, Cognition and Sentence.
His work on Recall as part of general Cognitive psychology study is frequently linked to Taboo, bridging the gap between disciplines.
His work in Linguistics tackles topics such as Psycholinguistics which are related to areas like Amnesia.
His work investigates the relationship between Perception and topics such as Action that intersect with problems in Speech production and Theoretical computer science.
His study focuses on the intersection of Cognition and fields such as Developmental psychology with connections in the field of Phonology.
The Sentence study combines topics in areas such as Ambiguity, Language disorder and Phrase.
He most often published in these fields:
- Cognitive psychology (42.64%)
- Linguistics (30.23%)
- Perception (20.16%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2001-2019)?
- Cognitive psychology (42.64%)
- Linguistics (30.23%)
- Cognition (13.95%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Cognitive psychology, Linguistics, Cognition, Taboo and Recall are his primary areas of study.
His Cognitive psychology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sentence, Phonology, Language production and Comprehension.
Donald G. MacKay regularly ties together related areas like Repetition blindness in his Linguistics studies.
His Repetition blindness course of study focuses on Word and Perception.
His research investigates the connection between Cognition and topics such as Developmental psychology that intersect with issues in Amnesia, Stimulus, Speech characteristics and Speech production.
As a part of the same scientific family, Donald G. MacKay mostly works in the field of Rapid serial visual presentation, focusing on Context and, on occasion, Cognitive science.
Between 2001 and 2019, his most popular works were:
- Relations between emotion, memory, and attention: evidence from taboo stroop, lexical decision, and immediate memory tasks. (261 citations)
- Emotion, Memory, and Attention in the Taboo Stroop Paradigm An Experimental Analogue of Flashbulb Memories (126 citations)
- Does emotion help or hinder immediate memory? Arousal versus priority-binding mechanisms. (109 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Linguistics
- Cognition
- Artificial intelligence
His scientific interests lie mostly in Cognitive psychology, Cognition, Taboo, Phonology and Stroop effect.
His work carried out in the field of Cognitive psychology brings together such families of science as Linguistics, Comprehension, Sentence, Grammar and Phrase.
Donald G. MacKay interconnects Developmental psychology, Stimulus and Speech production in the investigation of issues within Cognition.
He has researched Phonology in several fields, including Binding problem, Retrograde amnesia, Hippocampal formation and Orthography.
In his study, Vocabulary and Affect is strongly linked to Surprise, which falls under the umbrella field of Stroop effect.
His Recall research integrates issues from Word recognition, Rapid serial visual presentation, Experimental psychology and Cognitive science.
