What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Cognition
- Social psychology
- Law
His scientific interests lie mostly in Social psychology, Skin conductance, Deception, Lie detection and Cognitive psychology.
His Social psychology research includes elements of Meta-analysis and Innocence.
A majority of his Skin conductance research is a blend of other scientific areas, such as Line length, Stimulus, Audiology and Test.
The concepts of his Test study are interwoven with issues in External validity and Recall rate.
His work deals with themes such as Test validity, Cognition, Applied psychology and Psychometrics, which intersect with Deception.
His Cognitive psychology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Developmental psychology, Orienting response, Habituation and Stroop effect.
His most cited work include:
- Psychophysiologic assessment of aversive conditioning in posttraumatic stress disorder (270 citations)
- The validity of psychophysiological detection of information with the Guilty Knowledge Test: a meta-analytic review. (265 citations)
- Standardization Within Individuals: A Simple Method to Neutralize Individual Differences in Skin Conductance (178 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Gershon Ben-Shakhar mainly investigates Cognitive psychology, Social psychology, Test, Skin conductance and Deception.
His Cognitive psychology research incorporates themes from Developmental psychology, Orienting response, Arousal and Cognition.
His study of Lie detection is a part of Social psychology.
His research in Test intersects with topics in Control, External validity, Applied psychology and Polygraph.
His Polygraph research integrates issues from Knowledge test, Interrogation and Scientific evidence.
His research integrates issues of Psychophysiology, Generalizability theory and Cheating in his study of Deception.
He most often published in these fields:
- Cognitive psychology (34.46%)
- Social psychology (31.76%)
- Test (25.00%)

- Cognitive psychology (34.46%)
- Test (25.00%)
- Deception (21.62%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of investigation include Cognitive psychology, Test, Deception, External validity and Task.
His study on Cognitive psychology also encompasses disciplines like
- Orienting response that connect with fields like Orientation,
- Arousal that intertwine with fields like Developmental psychology.
Deception is a subfield of Social psychology that Gershon Ben-Shakhar investigates.
Gershon Ben-Shakhar combines subjects such as Predictive validity, Replication and Priming with his study of Social psychology.
His External validity study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Suspect, Criterion validity and Applied psychology.
His Cognition research includes themes of Lie detection and Neuroimaging.
Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Lying takes time: A meta-analysis on reaction time measures of deception. (87 citations)
- Orienting versus inhibition in the Concealed Information Test: Different cognitive processes drive different physiological measures. (54 citations)
- Deception detection with behavioral, autonomic, and neural measures: Conceptual and methodological considerations that warrant modesty. (50 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Cognition
- Law
- Social psychology
Social psychology, Lie detection, Deception, Task and Developmental psychology are his primary areas of study.
His Social psychology study combines topics in areas such as Replication and Priming.
Gershon Ben-Shakhar interconnects PsycINFO, MEDLINE, Applied psychology and Cognition in the investigation of issues within Lie detection.
Gershon Ben-Shakhar merges Developmental psychology with Skin conductance in his study.
His Orienting response research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Test, Cognitive psychology, Psychometrics, Orientation and Psychophysiology.
His work in the fields of Cognitive psychology, such as Memorization, overlaps with other areas such as Short-term memory.
