Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Linguistics
  • Cognitive psychology
  • Artificial intelligence

Her main research concerns Reading comprehension, Comprehension, Cognitive psychology, Reading and Developmental psychology. Her Reading comprehension study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Dissociation, Vocabulary, Primary education, Literacy and Psycholinguistics. Her Comprehension research includes themes of Word recognition, Working memory, General knowledge and Language development.

Her work on Short-term memory is typically connected to Anomaly as part of general Working memory study, connecting several disciplines of science. She combines subjects such as Text structure, Strengths and weaknesses, Inference and Coherence with her study of Cognitive psychology. Her Reading research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Metacognition and Narrative.

Her most cited work include:

  • Children's Reading Comprehension Ability: Concurrent Prediction by Working Memory, Verbal Ability, and Component Skills. (976 citations)
  • The Acquisition of Reading Comprehension Skill (566 citations)
  • Inference making ability and its relation to comprehension failure in young children (461 citations)

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

Cognitive psychology, Reading comprehension, Comprehension, Reading and Linguistics are her primary areas of study. She has researched Cognitive psychology in several fields, including Social psychology, Syllogism, Working memory, Inference and Text comprehension. Her Reading comprehension study also includes

  • Developmental psychology that connect with fields like Recall,
  • Vocabulary that connect with fields like Syntax.

Her biological study deals with issues like Referent, which deal with fields such as Pronoun. Her Reading research incorporates themes from Metacognition and Control. Her Sentence, Antecedent, Context, Representation and Interpretation investigations are all subjects of Linguistics research.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cognitive psychology (43.30%)
  • Reading comprehension (38.14%)
  • Comprehension (36.08%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Cognitive psychology (43.30%)
  • Linguistics (29.90%)
  • Reading comprehension (38.14%)

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

Jane Oakhill mostly deals with Cognitive psychology, Linguistics, Reading comprehension, Reading and Comprehension. Her Cognitive psychology study combines topics in areas such as Inference, Automaticity and Ventromedial prefrontal cortex. Her Vocabulary development, Phrase structure rules, Formal system and Grammatical category study, which is part of a larger body of work in Linguistics, is frequently linked to Scope, bridging the gap between disciplines.

Her studies deal with areas such as Idiomatic expressions, Meaning, Narrative and Literal and figurative language as well as Reading comprehension. Her research in Reading intersects with topics in Affect, Salient, Word and Sentence processing. Her research in Comprehension tackles topics such as Vocabulary which are related to areas like Syntax and Text structure.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • ‘Just reading’: the impact of a faster pace of reading narratives on the comprehension of poorer adolescent readers in English classrooms (11 citations)
  • Understanding of Idiomatic Expressions in Context in Skilled and Less Skilled Comprehenders: Online Processing and Interpretation (8 citations)
  • You’re the emotional one: the role of perspective for emotion processing in reading comprehension (6 citations)

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

  • Linguistics
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cognitive psychology

Her primary areas of investigation include Reading comprehension, Cognitive psychology, Reading, Comprehension and Linguistics. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Context, Guided reading and Narrative. In her research on the topic of Cognitive psychology, Recognition memory test and Schema is strongly related with Ventromedial prefrontal cortex.

Her Reading study incorporates themes from Pedagogy, Idiomatic expressions, Meaning, Standardized test and Interpretation. Her research integrates issues of Mathematics education, Teaching method, Syntax and Vocabulary in her study of Comprehension. Her Linguistics research incorporates elements of Artificial intelligence and Natural language processing.
