What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Cognition
- Artificial intelligence
- Cognitive science
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cognition, Cognitive psychology, Verb, Feature and Priming.
His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Attractor network, Word recognition, Semantic similarity and Perception.
Ken McRae works mostly in the field of Cognitive psychology, limiting it down to topics relating to Mental representation and, in certain cases, Spatial relation, Schema and Verbal learning, as a part of the same area of interest.
His work deals with themes such as Sentence and Psycholinguistics, which intersect with Verb.
He interconnects Concept learning, Cognitive science and Semantic memory in the investigation of issues within Feature.
His research in Cognitive science intersects with topics in Semantics, Categorization and Semantic feature.
His most cited work include:
- Semantic feature production norms for a large set of living and nonliving things (738 citations)
- On the nature and scope of featural representations of word meaning. (537 citations)
- Analyzing the factors underlying the structure and computation of the meaning of chipmunk, cherry, chisel, cheese, and cello (and many other such concrete nouns). (465 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of study are Cognitive psychology, Cognition, Semantic memory, Cognitive science and Psycholinguistics.
While the research belongs to areas of Cognitive psychology, Ken McRae spends his time largely on the problem of Sentence, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Comprehension, Verb, Priming and Reading.
Within one scientific family, Ken McRae focuses on topics pertaining to Word recognition under Cognition, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Concreteness.
Ken McRae has researched Semantic memory in several fields, including Attractor network, Connectionism, Semantics, Artificial intelligence and Feature.
His Feature study combines topics in areas such as Concept learning and Semantic feature.
His Cognitive science research incorporates themes from Mental representation, Language acquisition, Categorization, Schema and Event structure.
He most often published in these fields:
- Cognitive psychology (38.78%)
- Cognition (27.55%)
- Semantic memory (26.53%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?
- Cognitive psychology (38.78%)
- Cognitive science (24.49%)
- Semantic memory (26.53%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Ken McRae focuses on Cognitive psychology, Cognitive science, Semantic memory, Event and Recognition memory.
His Cognitive psychology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Face, Grounded cognition, Verb and Comprehension.
His Cognitive science research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Schema, Terminology, Human behavior and Event structure.
Semantic memory is a subfield of Cognition that Ken McRae studies.
In the field of Cognition, his study on Mental representation overlaps with subjects such as Data structure, Intuition and Network science.
His Recognition memory research includes themes of N400, Event-related potential and Posterior parietal cortex.
Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- A model of event knowledge. (20 citations)
- Impaired assessment of cumulative lifetime familiarity for object concepts after left anterior temporal-lobe resection that includes perirhinal cortex but spares the hippocampus (18 citations)
- Perirhinal cortex tracks degree of recent as well as cumulative lifetime experience with object concepts (14 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Cognition
- Artificial intelligence
- Cognitive science
His primary areas of investigation include Cognitive psychology, Semantic memory, Autobiographical memory, Recognition memory and Perirhinal cortex.
His studies in Cognitive psychology integrate themes in fields like Grounded cognition and Verb.
His Semantic memory study deals with the bigger picture of Cognition.
Ken McRae has included themes like Attributive, Argument, Object, Similarity and Face in his Cognition study.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Temporal cortex, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Neuropsychology in addition to Autobiographical memory.
His research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Amnesia and Recognition memory.
