What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Cognition
- Statistics
- Cognitive psychology
Her scientific interests lie mostly in Cognitive psychology, Neuropsychology, Developmental psychology, Test and Semantic memory.
Her research integrates issues of Semantics, Regression analysis and Categorization in her study of Cognitive psychology.
Her research in Neuropsychology intersects with topics in Frontal lobe, Psychometrics and Audiology.
Developmental psychology is frequently linked to Neurology in her study.
Her studies deal with areas such as Memory span, Short-term memory and Set as well as Test.
Her Semantic memory study incorporates themes from Category specific, Perception and Cognitive disorder.
Her most cited work include:
- Verbal and spatial immediate memory span: normative data from 1355 adults and 1112 children. (636 citations)
- Tre test clinici di ricerca e produzione lessicale: taratura su soggetti normali (445 citations)
- What are the facts of semantic category-specific deficits? A critical review of the clinical evidence. (373 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her main research concerns Developmental psychology, Cognitive psychology, Neuropsychology, Semantic memory and Audiology.
The concepts of her Developmental psychology study are interwoven with issues in Test, Dissociation, Cognition, Language disorder and Cognitive disorder.
Her studies in Test integrate themes in fields like Memory span, Short-term memory and Set.
Her Cognitive psychology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Semantics, Regression analysis, Verbal fluency test and Stroop effect.
Her Neuropsychology research integrates issues from Aneurysm, Apraxia, Memory disorder and Psychometrics.
Marcella Laiacona has researched Audiology in several fields, including Lesion, Spelling and Fluency.
She most often published in these fields:
- Developmental psychology (38.24%)
- Cognitive psychology (32.35%)
- Neuropsychology (19.61%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2010-2020)?
- Cognitive psychology (32.35%)
- Picture naming (9.80%)
- Semantics (10.78%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Her primary areas of investigation include Cognitive psychology, Picture naming, Semantics, Developmental psychology and Aphasia.
Her Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Experimental data, Verbal fluency test and Stroop effect.
Her study in Picture naming is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Dissociation, Natural language processing, Phonetics, Artificial intelligence and Regression analysis.
Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Neuropsychological battery, Stroke patient, Cognitive science and Communication.
In her works, Marcella Laiacona performs multidisciplinary study on Developmental psychology and Snodgrass.
The various areas that Marcella Laiacona examines in her Aphasia study include Lesion, Predictability, Cerebral cortex, Kappa and Lateralization of brain function.
Between 2010 and 2020, her most popular works were:
- Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA)-Italian version: regression based norms and equivalent scores. (84 citations)
- Perseveration during verbal fluency in traumatic brain injury reflects impairments in working memory. (13 citations)
- Outer and inner tolerance limits: their usefulness for the construction of norms and the standardization of neuropsychological tests. (7 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Cognition
- Statistics
- Cognitive psychology
Marcella Laiacona spends much of her time researching Perseveration, Aphasia, Brain damage, Verbal fluency test and Cognitive psychology.
The Perseveration study combines topics in areas such as Working memory and Short-term memory.
