Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Internal medicine
  • Cognition
  • Magnetic resonance imaging

His primary areas of investigation include Reading, Developmental psychology, Phonological awareness, Cognitive psychology and Fixation. His work in the fields of Reading, such as Orthography, intersects with other areas such as Spell. The Developmental psychology study combines topics in areas such as Sentence, Social psychology, Vulnerability and Learning to read.

Pekka Niemi interconnects Structural equation modeling, Knowledge level and Vocabulary in the investigation of issues within Phonological awareness. The various areas that Pekka Niemi examines in his Cognitive psychology study include Word recognition, Phonology and Reading comprehension. In his work, Communication, Stimulus, Electroencephalography and Vowel is strongly intertwined with Perception, which is a subfield of Fixation.

His most cited work include:

  • Foreperiod and simple reaction time. (866 citations)
  • Event-related brain potentials and the perception of a phonetic continuum ☆ (187 citations)
  • Coronary flow reserve: measurement with transthoracic Doppler echocardiography is reproducible and comparable with positron emission tomography (152 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Developmental psychology, Reading, Phonological awareness, Reading comprehension and Cognitive psychology. He combines subjects such as Longitudinal study, Audiology, Vocabulary, Phonemic awareness and Learning to read with his study of Developmental psychology. His work focuses on many connections between Reading and other disciplines, such as Cognition, that overlap with his field of interest in Arithmetic.

His Phonological awareness research includes themes of Dyslexia, Vocabulary development, Structural equation modeling, Spelling and Phonology. Pekka Niemi has researched Reading comprehension in several fields, including Psycholinguistics, Teaching method and Comprehension. His Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Metacognition and Word recognition.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Developmental psychology (41.10%)
  • Reading (39.73%)
  • Phonological awareness (23.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2021)?

  • Developmental psychology (41.10%)
  • Reading (39.73%)
  • Fluency (10.27%)

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

Pekka Niemi mostly deals with Developmental psychology, Reading, Fluency, Phonological awareness and Reading skills. Pekka Niemi combines Developmental psychology and Child sexual abuse in his studies. His Reading research incorporates elements of Achievement test, Affect, Literacy and Math skills.

His studies in Fluency integrate themes in fields like Social support, Reading comprehension and Shared reading. His Phonological awareness study incorporates themes from Orthography, Cognition and Vocabulary development. His research integrates issues of Longitudinal study, Word reading, Estonian, Skill development and Early reading in his study of Reading skills.

Between 2010 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • The Role of Inference Making and Other Language Skills in the Development of Narrative Listening Comprehension in 4–6‐Year‐Old Children (130 citations)
  • Transition to formal schooling: Do transition practices matter for academic performance?☆ (95 citations)
  • Cohort Profile: Steps to the Healthy Development and Well-being of Children (the STEPS Study) (75 citations)

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

  • Internal medicine
  • Cognition
  • Magnetic resonance imaging

His scientific interests lie mostly in Reading, Reading skills, Developmental psychology, Fluency and Reading comprehension. His work deals with themes such as Mathematics education, Transition and Latent growth modeling, which intersect with Reading. His research in Reading skills intersects with topics in Shared reading, Skill development, Word reading and Comprehension.

His Developmental psychology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Spelling and Clinical psychology. His Fluency study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Longitudinal study, Orthography, Phonological awareness and Childhood development. The study incorporates disciplines such as Task orientation, Early reading and Estonian in addition to Reading comprehension.
