Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Linguistics
  • Cognition
  • Cognitive psychology

Cognitive psychology, Cognition, Event-related potential, Linguistics and Perception are her primary areas of study. Her Cognitive psychology research includes themes of Speech perception and Music psychology. The Cognition study combines topics in areas such as Cognitive science and Language identification.

Her studies deal with areas such as Expectancy theory, Musical syntax, Musical note and Lateralization of brain function as well as Event-related potential. Mireille Besson works mostly in the field of Linguistics, limiting it down to topics relating to N400 and, in certain cases, Reading, Word recognition, Word lists by frequency and Recall. Her studies in Perception integrate themes in fields like Positive transfer, Prosody and Communication.

Her most cited work include:

  • Processing Syntactic Relations in Language and Music: An Event-Related Potential Study (508 citations)
  • Musical Training Influences Linguistic Abilities in 8-Year-Old Children: More Evidence for Brain Plasticity (456 citations)
  • The music of speech: Music training facilitates pitch processing in both music and language (393 citations)

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

Mireille Besson mainly focuses on Cognitive psychology, Cognition, Perception, Communication and Linguistics. Her research in Cognitive psychology intersects with topics in Music psychology, Reading, Speech perception, N400 and Melody. Her Cognition study also includes fields such as

  • Prosody which is related to area like Spoken language,
  • Electroencephalography most often made with reference to Developmental psychology.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Foreign language, Audiology and Consonant, Speech recognition, Vowel. While the research belongs to areas of Communication, she spends her time largely on the problem of Transfer of training, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Speech processing and Musical syntax. Her work on Syllable and Phonology as part of general Linguistics study is frequently connected to Lyrics, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cognitive psychology (50.74%)
  • Cognition (25.00%)
  • Perception (25.00%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2013-2021)?

  • Cognitive psychology (50.74%)
  • Cognition (25.00%)
  • N400 (22.06%)

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

Her primary areas of investigation include Cognitive psychology, Cognition, N400, Perception and Audiology. Mireille Besson regularly ties together related areas like Auditory perception in her Cognitive psychology studies. Her Cognition research incorporates elements of Developmental psychology, Speech perception, Cognitive science and Electroencephalography.

Her N400 research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Modality, Meaning, Connected speech, Expectancy theory and Semantic memory. Her studies deal with areas such as Stimulus, Dyslexia and Priming as well as Perception. The study incorporates disciplines such as Vowel, Voice, Voice-onset time and Mismatch negativity in addition to Audiology.

Between 2013 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Twelve Months of Active Musical Training in 8- to 10-Year-Old Children Enhances the Preattentive Processing of Syllabic Duration and Voice Onset Time (147 citations)
  • Twelve Months of Active Musical Training in 8- to 10-Year-Old Children Enhances the Preattentive Processing of Syllabic Duration and Voice Onset Time (147 citations)
  • Music and Dyslexia: A New Musical Training Method to Improve Reading and Related Disorders (50 citations)
