In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
J. David Smith focuses on Cognitive psychology, Metacognition, Cognition, Comparative psychology and Cognitive science.
His Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Reinforcement, Categorization and Comparative cognition.
His Metacognition research includes elements of Developmental psychology, Animal cognition, Social psychology and Information seeking.
His Developmental psychology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Working memory and Dissociation.
J. David Smith interconnects Associative learning, Perception and Primate in the investigation of issues within Cognition.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Psychoanalysis and Implicit attitude in addition to Cognitive science.
Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:
