What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Cognition
- Cognitive psychology
- Artificial intelligence
His scientific interests lie mostly in Cognitive psychology, Memoria, Cognition, Perception and Encoding. Neil W. Mulligan interconnects Recognition memory, Implicit memory and Explicit memory in the investigation of issues within Cognitive psychology. His study in Memoria is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Social psychology, Categorization and Communication.
His Cognition research includes themes of Stimulus and Visual feedback. His research in Perception focuses on subjects like Fluency, which are connected to Experimental psychology, Memory performance, Metamemory and Speech recognition. His studies in Encoding integrate themes in fields like Generation effect and Generative grammar.
His most cited work include:
- The Role of Attention During Encoding in Implicit and Explicit Memory (170 citations)
- Divided attention and indirect memory tests. (141 citations)
- Attention and implicit memory tests: The effects of varying attentional load on conceptual priming (104 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His main research concerns Cognitive psychology, Recall, Cognition, Implicit memory and Encoding. He has included themes like Memoria, Explicit memory, Perception and Priming in his Cognitive psychology study. His research integrates issues of Social psychology and Set in his study of Recall.
Neil W. Mulligan has researched Cognition in several fields, including Word recognition, Categorization and Information processing. While the research belongs to areas of Implicit memory, he spends his time largely on the problem of Semantic memory, intersecting his research to questions surrounding Memory errors and Memory rehearsal. His Encoding study deals with Enactment effect intersecting with Phrase.
He most often published in these fields:
- Cognitive psychology (75.70%)
- Recall (39.25%)
- Cognition (37.38%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?
- Cognitive psychology (75.70%)
- Testing effect (11.21%)
- Encoding (29.91%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Cognitive psychology, Testing effect, Encoding, Recall and Free recall are his primary areas of study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Metamemory, Arousal and Perception. His Perception research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Word recognition, Attentional control, Optimal distinctiveness theory and Task analysis.
His research on Testing effect also deals with topics like
- Natural language processing together with Levels-of-processing effect, Recall test and Mnemonic,
- Experimental psychology, Set and Generation effect most often made with reference to Research design. His Encoding research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Contrast, Distraction, Episodic memory, Divided attention and Repetition priming. His work deals with themes such as Implicit memory, Lexical decision task, Communication and Verbal material, which intersect with Contrast.
Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Not all identification tasks are born equal: testing the involvement of production processes in perceptual identification and lexical decision. (5 citations)
- Distinctiveness and the attentional boost effect. (4 citations)
- Assessing why the testing effect is moderated by experimental design. (1 citations)
