Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cognition
  • Cognitive psychology

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cognitive psychology, Cognition, Perception, Cognitive development and Visual perception. Linda B. Smith has included themes like Noun, Language acquisition, Word recognition, Verbal learning and Vocabulary in her Cognitive psychology study. Her Cognition research integrates issues from Simple and Vocabulary development.

Her Perception research includes elements of Concept learning and Action. Her work carried out in the field of Cognitive development brings together such families of science as Representation, Systems theory, Cognitive science and Erikson's stages of psychosocial development. Her Visual perception study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Developmental psychology, Head, Object and Communication.

Her most cited work include:

  • A Dynamic systems approach to the development of cognition and action (3285 citations)
  • The importance of shape in early lexical learning (847 citations)
  • The dynamics of embodiment: a field theory of infant perseverative reaching. (686 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Cognitive psychology, Cognition, Perception, Cognitive science and Object. Her research in Cognitive psychology intersects with topics in Cognitive development, Noun, Language acquisition, Visual perception and Vocabulary. Her Noun research focuses on subjects like Categorization, which are linked to Natural language processing.

Her Cognition research incorporates elements of Developmental psychology, Child development and Context. The concepts of her Perception study are interwoven with issues in Concept learning and Similarity. Her studies deal with areas such as Cognitive neuroscience of visual object recognition and Communication as well as Object.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cognitive psychology (47.33%)
  • Cognition (19.17%)
  • Perception (18.20%)

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

  • Cognitive psychology (47.33%)
  • Object (15.53%)
  • Artificial intelligence (14.32%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Cognitive psychology, Object, Artificial intelligence, Human–computer interaction and Visual perception. Her Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Visual attention, Gaze, Language development, Vocabulary and Eye–hand coordination. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cognitive development and Language acquisition in addition to Language development.

Her Object research includes themes of Cognitive neuroscience of visual object recognition, Learning object, Learning environment, Set and Visualization. Her Artificial intelligence research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Natural, Machine learning and Computer vision. The various areas that Linda B. Smith examines in her Visual perception study include Developmental psychology, Number line and Cognition.

Between 2015 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • From faces to hands: Changing visual input in the first two years. (108 citations)
  • The Social Origins of Sustained Attention in One-Year-Old Human Infants (99 citations)
  • Real-world visual statistics and infants' first-learned object names. (85 citations)

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

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cognition
  • Statistics

Linda B. Smith mainly focuses on Cognitive psychology, Artificial intelligence, Object, Joint attention and Developmental psychology. The Cognitive psychology study combines topics in areas such as Cognitive development, Face, Language development and Neural substrate. Her Language development research incorporates themes from Language acquisition and Vocabulary, Vocabulary development.

She has researched Artificial intelligence in several fields, including Machine learning and Mental image. Her Object study deals with Visual attention intersecting with Visualization, Computer vision, Center and Motor skill. Her work deals with themes such as PsycINFO, Visual perception and Cognition, which intersect with Developmental psychology.
