Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive psychology

Michael I. Posner focuses on Cognitive psychology, Cognition, Developmental psychology, Neuroscience and Cognitive science. The Cognitive psychology study combines topics in areas such as Directed attention fatigue, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Neuroimaging, Executive attention and Attentional control. His Directed attention fatigue research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Visual spatial attention and Shifting attention.

His research integrates issues of Visual perception, Psychometrics and Vigilance in his study of Cognition. His study in Developmental psychology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Cognitive development, Personality development, Stimulus, Temperament and Brain network. His research in Neuroscience focuses on subjects like Lesion, which are connected to Facilitation, Orienting system, Thalamus, Visual space and Audiology.

His most cited work include:

  • Orienting of attention (7505 citations)
  • The Attention System of the Human Brain (6140 citations)
  • Cognitive and emotional influences in anterior cingulate cortex (4979 citations)

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

Cognitive psychology, Cognition, Neuroscience, Cognitive science and Developmental psychology are his primary areas of study. Michael I. Posner has included themes like Control, Visual perception, Social cognition, Executive attention and Attentional control in his Cognitive psychology study. The concepts of his Cognition study are interwoven with issues in Neuroimaging and Vigilance.

Neuroscience is closely attributed to White matter in his work. He combines subjects such as Functional neuroimaging and Information processing with his study of Cognitive science. His Developmental psychology research integrates issues from Cognitive development and Temperament.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cognitive psychology (42.29%)
  • Cognition (37.38%)
  • Neuroscience (20.09%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Neuroscience (20.09%)
  • Cognitive psychology (42.29%)
  • Developmental psychology (18.22%)

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

Michael I. Posner mainly investigates Neuroscience, Cognitive psychology, Developmental psychology, Relaxation and Cognition. His Neuroscience research incorporates elements of White matter and Mindfulness. His Cognitive psychology research focuses on Control and how it relates to Consciousness.

His Developmental psychology study also includes fields such as

  • Temperament which connect with Diversity and Self-control,
  • Executive attention together with Brain mapping. His work deals with themes such as Stroop effect, Brain Structure and Function and Clinical psychology, Mood, which intersect with Relaxation. Michael I. Posner studies Cognitive neuroscience, a branch of Cognition.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • The attention system of the human brain: 20 years after. (1574 citations)
  • The neuroscience of mindfulness meditation (927 citations)
  • Attention and Performance XI (714 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive psychology

His main research concerns Cognitive psychology, Neuroscience, Relaxation, Developmental psychology and Neuroimaging. Michael I. Posner has researched Cognitive psychology in several fields, including Orientation, Cognition, Cognitive science, Selection and Brain state. His Cognition research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Visual search and Anticipation.

In general Neuroscience, his work in Anterior cingulate cortex, Brain mapping and Human brain is often linked to Clustering coefficient linking many areas of study. His Developmental psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Temperament and Longitudinal study. His Neuroimaging research incorporates elements of Effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive performance, Mindfulness, Mindfulness meditation and Behavioral test.
