  • Memory and Neural Mechanisms
  • Neural and Behavioral Psychology Studies
  • Neural dynamics and brain function
  • Face Recognition and Perception
  • Memory Processes and Influences
  • Spatial Cognition and Navigation
  • Psychology of Moral and Emotional Judgment

Notable frequent co-authors in Rosenbaum's collaborations include:

  • Julia G. Halilova
  • Morris Moscovitch
  • Erez Freud
  • Donna Kwan
  • Carl F. Craver

Rosenbaum's research outputs have appeared repeatedly in several scholarly venues, such as:

  • Neuropsychologia
  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience
  • Journal of Vision
  • Cognitive Research Principles and Implications

Recent publications from Rosenbaum include:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic masks the way people perceive faces, 2020, Scientific Reports
  • From cognitive maps to spatial schemas, 2022, Nature reviews. Neuroscience
  • A synthesis of evidence for policy from behavioural science during COVID-19, 2023, Nature
  • Is it time? Episodic imagining and the discounting of delayed and probabilistic rewards in young and older adults, 2020, Cognition
  • Long-term memory and hippocampal function support predictive gaze control during goal-directed search, 2020, Journal of Vision

Rosenbaum's body of work reflects a strong emphasis on understanding memory processes, neural mechanisms underlying cognition, and behavioral outcomes. Topics such as face recognition and spatial cognition have been approached from both experimental and theoretical perspectives.

In recognition of their contributions, Rosenbaum was named a Fellow of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation in 2010.
