J. Scott Saults is affiliated with the University of Missouri in the United States. Their research primarily spans the fields of neuroscience and psychology, with a particular focus on cognitive neuroscience and experimental and cognitive psychology subfields.

The main topics covered in their work include:

  • Neural and Behavioral Psychology Studies
  • Cognitive Functions and Memory
  • Mind wandering and attention

Saults has contributed to the academic landscape through publications in peer-reviewed journals, notably in "Developmental Psychology." Among recent papers, one key publication is titled "Developmental change in the nature of attention allocation in a dual task," published in 2020 in the journal Developmental Psychology.

Frequent coauthors collaborating with Saults include:

  • Nelson Cowan
  • Angela M. AuBuchon
  • Amanda L. Gilchrist
  • Christopher L. Blume
