Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Social psychology
  • Developmental psychology
  • Artificial intelligence

Renée Baillargeon spends much of her time researching Developmental psychology, Cognitive psychology, Young infants, Object and Cognitive development. Her Developmental psychology study deals with Perception intersecting with Comprehension. Her Cognitive psychology research incorporates elements of Social cognition and Intellectual development.

Her research in Young infants focuses on subjects like Object permanence, which are connected to Artificial intelligence, Computer vision, Communication and Visual perception. Her research is interdisciplinary, bridging the disciplines of Action and Object. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Identity, Social psychology, Infant development, Concept learning and Theory of mind.

Her most cited work include:

  • Do 15-month-old infants understand false beliefs? (1343 citations)
  • False-belief understanding in infants (604 citations)
  • Object permanence in five-month-old infants (551 citations)

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

Renée Baillargeon spends much of her time researching Developmental psychology, Cognitive psychology, Object, Cognitive development and Young infants. Her research investigates the link between Developmental psychology and topics such as Comprehension that cross with problems in False belief. Her study in the field of Concept learning also crosses realms of Psychology of reasoning.

Her work in Object addresses subjects such as Communication, which are connected to disciplines such as Computer vision. Her Cognitive development research includes elements of Event, Deception and Individuation. Her studies in Young infants integrate themes in fields like First year of life and Artificial intelligence.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Developmental psychology (48.46%)
  • Cognitive psychology (46.15%)
  • Object (26.92%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Cognitive psychology (46.15%)
  • Developmental psychology (48.46%)
  • Social psychology (16.15%)

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

Cognitive psychology, Developmental psychology, Social psychology, Object and Psychology of reasoning are her primary areas of study. She has researched Cognitive psychology in several fields, including Cognitive development, Theory of mind, False belief and Action. The concepts of her Developmental psychology study are interwoven with issues in Visual perception and Social cognition.

Her work in the fields of Ingroups and outgroups and Harm overlaps with other areas such as Moral cognition, Suicide prevention and Injury prevention. Her Object research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Young infants and Explanation-based learning. Renée Baillargeon focuses mostly in the field of Young infants, narrowing it down to matters related to First year of life and, in some cases, Numerical cognition.

Between 2012 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Psychological Reasoning in Infancy (111 citations)
  • Early False-Belief Understanding (99 citations)
  • Young infants have biological expectations about animals (81 citations)

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

  • Social psychology
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Developmental psychology

Her main research concerns Theory of mind, Cognitive psychology, Developmental psychology, Psychology of reasoning and Social psychology. In her study, Deception is inextricably linked to Cognitive development, which falls within the broad field of Cognitive psychology. Renée Baillargeon works in the field of Developmental psychology, namely Child development.

Her work in the fields of Social psychology, such as Ingroups and outgroups, overlaps with other areas such as Event. Her Social cognition study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Moral development, Erikson's stages of psychosocial development and Infant development. Her Agency study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Counterfactual thinking, Object, Young infants and Comprehension.
