Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Statistics
  • Internal medicine

Her primary areas of study are Cognition, Useful field of view, Activities of daily living, Human factors and ergonomics and Gerontology. Her work carried out in the field of Cognition brings together such families of science as Developmental psychology and Information processing. Her Useful field of view research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Test, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Applied psychology and Simulation, Driving simulator.

The concepts of her Human factors and ergonomics study are interwoven with issues in Injury prevention and Suicide prevention. Her study looks at the relationship between Gerontology and topics such as Psychological intervention, which overlap with Independent living, Cognitive decline and Baseline level. Karlene K. Ball has researched Cognitive Intervention in several fields, including Cognitive rehabilitation therapy, Verbal memory and Physical therapy.

Her most cited work include:

  • Effects of Cognitive training interventions with older adults. A randomized controlled trial (1535 citations)
  • Long-term effects of cognitive training on everyday functional outcomes in older adults (1099 citations)
  • Age and visual search: expanding the useful field of view. (691 citations)

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

Karlene K. Ball mainly focuses on Cognition, Useful field of view, Gerontology, Cognitive training and Human factors and ergonomics. The Cognition study combines topics in areas such as Developmental psychology, Physical medicine and rehabilitation, Psychological intervention and Activities of daily living. Her study in Useful field of view is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Test, Social psychology, Audiology, Visual processing and Visual perception.

Her study looks at the relationship between Gerontology and fields such as Cognitive skill, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. Karlene K. Ball has included themes like Cognitive Intervention, Cognitive remediation therapy, Randomized controlled trial, Cognitive therapy and Physical therapy in her Cognitive training study. Her Human factors and ergonomics research incorporates elements of Injury prevention and Suicide prevention.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cognition (53.80%)
  • Useful field of view (27.22%)
  • Gerontology (23.42%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Cognition (53.80%)
  • Cognitive training (19.62%)
  • Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance (8.86%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Cognition, Cognitive training, Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, Psychological intervention and Physical medicine and rehabilitation. Her research in Cognition intersects with topics in Developmental psychology, Physical therapy, Audiology and Clinical psychology. Her Cognitive training research integrates issues from Cognitive Intervention, Randomized controlled trial and Activities of daily living.

Her work carried out in the field of Activities of daily living brings together such families of science as Independent living and Gerontology. Her Psychological intervention research incorporates elements of Intervention, Cognitive therapy, Patient satisfaction and Computer security. Her Physical medicine and rehabilitation research incorporates themes from Useful field of view and Cognitive remediation therapy.

Between 2012 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Ten-year effects of the advanced cognitive training for independent and vital elderly cognitive training trial on cognition and everyday functioning in older adults. (464 citations)
  • Impact of Distracted Driving on Safety and Traffic Flow (100 citations)
  • Video game training to improve selective visual attention in older adults (89 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Statistics
  • Internal medicine

Karlene K. Ball spends much of her time researching Cognition, Cognitive training, Gerontology, Psychological intervention and Activities of daily living. Her Cognition research includes elements of Developmental psychology and Audiology. Her Gerontology research integrates issues from Randomization, Affect, Transfer of training and Self-control.

Her Psychological intervention study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cognitive therapy and Physical medicine and rehabilitation. The concepts of her Cognitive therapy study are interwoven with issues in Cognitive behavioral therapy and Physical therapy. Her research on Human factors and ergonomics focuses in particular on Useful field of view.
