Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Statistics
  • Cognition
  • Epistemology

His main research concerns Reinforcement, Statistics, Neuroscience, Cognition and Time perception. His work on Rate of reinforcement as part of his general Reinforcement study is frequently connected to Terminal, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His Statistics research incorporates elements of Control and Schedule induced.

His Dopamine, Neurology and Arousal study in the realm of Neuroscience connects with subjects such as Response Frequency. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Neurophysiology, Cognitive psychology, Psychometrics and Analysis of variance. His work carried out in the field of Time perception brings together such families of science as Stimulus, Percept, Psychophysics and Asymptote.

His most cited work include:

  • A behavioral theory of timing (615 citations)
  • An Alternative to Null-Hypothesis Significance Tests (360 citations)
  • Japanese quail can learn phonetic categories. (260 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Reinforcement, Statistics, Social psychology, Developmental psychology and Context. Peter R. Killeen has included themes like Extinction, Cognitive psychology, Cognition and Classical conditioning in his Reinforcement study. The concepts of his Cognitive psychology study are interwoven with issues in Contingency and Action.

His studies in Statistics integrate themes in fields like Interval, Time perception, Pecking order and Reinforcement schedules. His Time perception research includes elements of Psychophysics and Audiology. His Social psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Stimulus and Perception.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Reinforcement (32.94%)
  • Statistics (21.18%)
  • Social psychology (14.71%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2009-2021)?

  • Reinforcement (32.94%)
  • Cognitive psychology (8.24%)
  • Context (10.59%)

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

Peter R. Killeen spends much of his time researching Reinforcement, Cognitive psychology, Context, Social psychology and Econometrics. The Food pellet research he does as part of his general Reinforcement study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Schedule, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. The various areas that Peter R. Killeen examines in his Cognitive psychology study include Contingency and Action.

His study looks at the relationship between Action and fields such as Theory of mind, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. His Social psychology research includes themes of Stimulus, Association and Perception. The Econometrics study combines topics in areas such as Corollary, Prior probability and Hyperbolic discounting.

Between 2009 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • A theory of behaviour on progressive ratio schedules, with applications in behavioural pharmacology (85 citations)
  • A behavioral neuroenergetics theory of ADHD. (58 citations)
  • Timescale invariance in the pacemaker-accumulator family of timing models (56 citations)

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

  • Statistics
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cognition

Reinforcement, Social psychology, Developmental psychology, Neuroscience and Stimulus are his primary areas of study. His studies deal with areas such as Nucleus accumbens, Statistics, Hysteresis, Mathematical model and Behavioural pharmacology as well as Reinforcement. His research on Social psychology frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Cognitive psychology.

His research integrates issues of Contingency and Association in his study of Cognitive psychology. He has researched Developmental psychology in several fields, including Nosology and Four causes. The study incorporates disciplines such as Law of effect, Perception and Avoidance response in addition to Stimulus.
