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

Robert D. Abbott spends much of his time researching Developmental psychology, Reading, Spelling, Dyslexia and Learning disability. He interconnects Social change, Social psychology and Cognition in the investigation of issues within Developmental psychology. His Reading research includes themes of Working memory, Cognitive psychology, Phonology and Literacy.

His research on Spelling also deals with topics like

  • Handwriting together with Transcription and Sentence,
  • Primary education and related Teaching method. Robert D. Abbott focuses mostly in the field of Dyslexia, narrowing it down to matters related to Written language and, in some cases, Language acquisition. In his study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Learning disability, Higher education and Pedagogy is strongly linked to Mathematics education.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Developmental psychology (41.20%)
