Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Semantics

Penny M. Pexman mainly investigates Lexical decision task, Irony, Cognitive psychology, Cognition and Semantics. Her Lexical decision task study incorporates themes from Orthography, Word recognition, Artificial intelligence, Semantic memory and Phonology. Her work carried out in the field of Semantic memory brings together such families of science as Concreteness and Ambiguity.

She combines subjects such as Comprehension, Context, Social psychology and Interpretation with her study of Irony. Her research investigates the link between Cognitive psychology and topics such as Cognitive science that cross with problems in Dual-coding theory. Her Cognition research focuses on Categorization and how it connects with Referent and Word.

Her most cited work include:

  • The impact of feedback semantics in visual word recognition: Number-of-features effects in lexical decision and naming tasks (147 citations)
  • There are many ways to be rich: effects of three measures of semantic richness on visual word recognition. (147 citations)
  • Context Incongruity and Irony Processing (124 citations)

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

Penny M. Pexman spends much of her time researching Cognitive psychology, Lexical decision task, Semantic memory, Cognition and Word recognition. Her Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Irony, Categorization and Embodied cognition. Her Lexical decision task study which covers Phonology that intersects with Orthography.

Her research on Semantic memory also deals with topics like

  • Semantics that connect with fields like Ambiguity,
  • Semantic property, which have a strong connection to Semantic similarity. Her Cognition study incorporates themes from Cognitive science and Reading. Her Word recognition research includes elements of Word and Psycholinguistics.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cognitive psychology (52.63%)
  • Lexical decision task (37.50%)
  • Semantic memory (25.66%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Cognitive psychology (52.63%)
  • Sound symbolism (8.55%)
  • Lexical decision task (37.50%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cognitive psychology, Sound symbolism, Lexical decision task, Concreteness and Embodied cognition. Her studies deal with areas such as Irony, Sarcasm and Cognition as well as Cognitive psychology. Penny M. Pexman interconnects Context, English language, Iconicity and Personality in the investigation of issues within Sound symbolism.

Her Lexical decision task research integrates issues from Word recognition and Lexicon. Her Concreteness research incorporates themes from Valence, Recognition memory and Age of Acquisition. While the research belongs to areas of Age of Acquisition, she spends her time largely on the problem of Representational systems, intersecting her research to questions surrounding Semantic memory.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • The role of embodiment in conceptual development (21 citations)
  • Does the name say it all? Investigating phoneme-personality sound symbolism in first names (11 citations)
  • The Sound Symbolism of Names (11 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Neuroscience

Penny M. Pexman mostly deals with Cognitive psychology, Lexical decision task, Sound symbolism, Personality and Cognition. Her research integrates issues of Irony, Sarcasm and Comprehension in her study of Cognitive psychology. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Concreteness, Word meaning, Vocabulary and Conceptual processing.

Her Sound symbolism research includes themes of Agreeableness, Context, Personality Assessment Inventory and Sonorant. Her studies in Cognition integrate themes in fields like Animacy, Word recognition, Lexicon, Referent and Lexical semantics. The various areas that Penny M. Pexman examines in her Referent study include Variety, Semantic memory and Categorization.
