Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Cognitive science
  • Epistemology

His main research concerns Cognitive science, Action, Cognition, Cognitive development and Social learning. His work deals with themes such as Context and Teleology, which intersect with Cognitive science. György Gergely interconnects Variety, Affect and Self in the investigation of issues within Cognition.

The concepts of his Cognitive development study are interwoven with issues in Cognitive psychology, Inference, Interpretation, Theory of mind and Object. His Object study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Agency, Volition and Perception. His study in Social learning is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Imitation and Mechanism.

His most cited work include:

  • Affect Regulation, Mentalization and the Development of the Self (2358 citations)
  • Taking the intentional stance at 12 months of age (918 citations)
  • Rational imitation in preverbal infants (807 citations)

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

György Gergely focuses on Cognitive psychology, Action, Developmental psychology, Cognitive science and Cognition. The various areas that György Gergely examines in his Cognitive psychology study include Context, Attribution, Perspective, Ostensive definition and Object. The Action study combines topics in areas such as Social learning, Imitative learning, Agency, Rationality and Theory of mind.

His Developmental psychology research integrates issues from Contingency, Perception and Affect. His Cognitive science study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cognitive development, Teleology, Social psychology and Communication. His study of Perseveration is a part of Cognition.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cognitive psychology (36.89%)
  • Action (28.16%)
  • Developmental psychology (23.30%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2020)?

  • Cognitive psychology (36.89%)
  • Ostensive definition (5.83%)
  • Attribution (7.77%)

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

Cognitive psychology, Ostensive definition, Attribution, Perspective and Communication are his primary areas of study. His Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Social learning, Nonverbal communication, Action, Cognition and Object. His research on Action often connects related topics like Agency.

His research integrates issues of Visual perception, Categorization and Eye movement in his study of Cognition. György Gergely has included themes like Theory of mind and Social cognition in his Attribution study. In his research, Cognitive science is intimately related to Rationality, which falls under the overarching field of Imitative learning.

Between 2011 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Affektregulierung, Mentalisierung und die Entwicklung des Selbst (204 citations)
  • Sylvia's recipe: The role of imitation and pedagogy in the transmission of cultural knowledge (136 citations)
  • Beyond rational imitation: Learning arbitrary means actions from communicative demonstrations (89 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Epistemology
  • Cognitive science

His primary scientific interests are in Cognitive psychology, Ostensive definition, Social cognition, Attribution and Natural. Cognitive psychology is closely attributed to Cognition in his research. His work carried out in the field of Ostensive definition brings together such families of science as Cognitive development, Context, Interpretation and Nonverbal communication.

His Social cognition research includes elements of Perspective, Prefrontal cortex, Property, Theory of mind and Object. György Gergely incorporates a variety of subjects into his writings, including Natural, Action, Imitative learning and Empirical evidence.
