  • 2017 - Member of the European Academy of Sciences

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive psychology

His primary areas of study are Cognitive psychology, Cognition, Cognitive development, Developmental psychology and Heuristics. His Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Visual perception, Visual processing, Perception, Cognitive flexibility and Inhibitory control. His research on Cognition often connects related areas such as Functional magnetic resonance imaging.

As part of the same scientific family, Olivier Houdé usually focuses on Functional magnetic resonance imaging, concentrating on Working memory and intersecting with Angular gyrus, Precuneus, Brain activity and meditation and Posterior cingulate. His work is dedicated to discovering how Cognitive development, Categorization are connected with Prefrontal cortex, Deductive reasoning, Logical reasoning and Cognitive science and other disciplines. His studies deal with areas such as Negative priming and Priming as well as Developmental psychology.

His most cited work include:

  • Cortical networks for working memory and executive functions sustain the conscious resting state in man (775 citations)
  • Mapping numerical processing, reading, and executive functions in the developing brain: an fMRI meta-analysis of 52 studies including 842 children. (199 citations)
  • Mapping numerical processing, reading, and executive functions in the developing brain: an fMRI meta-analysis of 52 studies including 842 children. (199 citations)

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

Olivier Houdé focuses on Cognition, Cognitive psychology, Developmental psychology, Inhibitory control and Social psychology. His study in Cognitive development, Stroop effect, Working memory, Anterior cingulate cortex and Prefrontal cortex is carried out as part of his Cognition studies. He usually deals with Working memory and limits it to topics linked to Executive functions and Attentional control.

Olivier Houdé has researched Cognitive psychology in several fields, including Visual perception, Perception, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Communication. His Young adult, Punishment and Child development study, which is part of a larger body of work in Developmental psychology, is frequently linked to Outcome, bridging the gap between disciplines. The study incorporates disciplines such as Creativity and Negative priming in addition to Inhibitory control.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cognition (74.79%)
  • Cognitive psychology (63.87%)
  • Developmental psychology (50.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Inhibitory control (47.06%)
  • Negative priming (31.09%)
  • Stroop effect (33.61%)

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

Olivier Houdé mainly investigates Inhibitory control, Negative priming, Stroop effect, Cognitive psychology and Arithmetic. His Inhibitory control study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Pedagogy and School age child. Olivier Houdé connects Negative priming with Decimal in his research.

His Stroop effect research entails a greater understanding of Cognition. His Cognition study contributes to a more complete understanding of Neuroscience. In the field of Cognitive psychology, his study on Concept learning overlaps with subjects such as Systematic error, High density and Intuition.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Neural basis of functional fixedness during creative idea generation: An EEG study. (18 citations)
  • Adolescents’ inhibitory control: keep it cool or lose control (17 citations)
  • Adolescents’ inhibitory control: keep it cool or lose control (17 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive science

Olivier Houdé spends much of his time researching Inhibitory control, Rational number, Arithmetic, Numerical cognition and Decimal. His Inhibitory control research integrates issues from Developmental psychology, Emotional expression and Stroop effect. His Rational number investigation overlaps with other areas such as Negative priming, Whole Number and Decimal Point.
