Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Perception
  • Artificial intelligence

Francesca Simion mostly deals with Visual perception, Developmental psychology, Perception, Preference and Face perception. Her Visual perception research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Recien nacido and Face. Her Developmental psychology research incorporates elements of Stimulus, Cognition and Crying.

Her Perception study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Nonverbal communication, Communication, Audiology and Facial recognition system. Within one scientific family, Francesca Simion focuses on topics pertaining to Sensory system under Face perception, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Pattern discrimination. Her study in Cognitive psychology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Neural processing, Form perception, Social skills, Child development and Eye contact.

Her most cited work include:

  • Eye contact detection in humans from birth (934 citations)
  • A predisposition for biological motion in the newborn baby (508 citations)
  • Face preference at birth. (401 citations)

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

Francesca Simion mainly investigates Developmental psychology, Cognitive psychology, Perception, Visual perception and Audiology. Her research on Developmental psychology also deals with topics like

  • Stimulus that intertwine with fields like Sensory system,
  • Eye movement, which have a strong connection to Eye tracking and Child development. Her studies in Cognitive psychology integrate themes in fields like Levels-of-processing effect, Social psychology, Face detection and Communication.

She has included themes like Motion, Facial recognition system, Visual search and Habituation in her Perception study. Her Visual perception study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Recien nacido, Face perception, Discrimination learning, Cognition and Face. Her Audiology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cued speech and Visual attention.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Developmental psychology (32.69%)
  • Cognitive psychology (32.69%)
  • Perception (23.08%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Cognitive psychology (32.69%)
  • Biological motion (8.65%)
  • Stimulus (15.38%)

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

Francesca Simion spends much of her time researching Cognitive psychology, Biological motion, Stimulus, Sensory system and Kinematics. Her work on Sensory cue is typically connected to Object as part of general Cognitive psychology study, connecting several disciplines of science. Her research integrates issues of Saccade and Communication in her study of Biological motion.

Her work carried out in the field of Communication brings together such families of science as Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Gaze, Biological motion perception, Eye tracking and Eye movement. Francesca Simion combines subjects such as Object, Artificial intelligence and Pattern recognition with her study of Stimulus. Her Sensory system study which covers Audiology that intersects with Nose, Child development, Visual field and Pediatrics.

Between 2014 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Face perception and processing in early infancy: inborn predispositions and developmental changes. (82 citations)
  • Difference in Visual Social Predispositions between Newborns at Low-and High-risk for Autism (60 citations)
  • A comparison between preterm and full-term infants' preference for faces. (34 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Perception

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Developmental psychology, Visual perception, Face perception, Visual experience and Face detection. Her study in Developmental psychology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Motion perception, Perception, Animacy, Sensory cue and Cognitive neuroscience. Her work deals with themes such as Stimulus, Sensory system, Audiology and Nose, which intersect with Visual perception.

Her Face perception research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Face and Early infancy.
