What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Developmental psychology
- Cognition
- Genetics
Robert Plomin mainly focuses on Developmental psychology, Genetics, Twin study, Heritability and Cognition.
His Developmental psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nature versus nurture, Social environment and Personality.
His studies deal with areas such as Genetic determinism, Autism, Conduct disorder and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as well as Twin study.
His Heritability research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Demography and Intelligence quotient.
His Cognition study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cognitive psychology, Heredity, Academic achievement and Multivariate analysis.
His work deals with themes such as Evolutionary biology and Psychopathology, which intersect with Behavioural genetics.
His most cited work include:
- Genetic risk and a primary role for cell-mediated immune mechanisms in multiple sclerosis (1970 citations)
- Temperament: Early Developing Personality Traits (1615 citations)
- Genotype-environment interaction and correlation in the analysis of human behavior. (1252 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His primary areas of investigation include Developmental psychology, Cognition, Twin study, Genetics and Heritability.
Behavioural genetics is the focus of his Developmental psychology research.
His studies in Cognition integrate themes in fields like Cognitive psychology and Early childhood.
His study in Quantitative trait locus, Genome-wide association study, Single-nucleotide polymorphism, Gene and Genetic association are all subfields of Genetics.
His Heritability study frequently involves adjacent topics like Demography.
Robert Plomin combines subjects such as Sibling and Social psychology with his study of Nature versus nurture.
He most often published in these fields:
- Developmental psychology (46.68%)
- Cognition (17.42%)
- Twin study (17.19%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2021)?
- Developmental psychology (46.68%)
- Demography (7.64%)
- Heritability (13.60%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Robert Plomin mainly investigates Developmental psychology, Demography, Heritability, Twins Early Development Study and Twin study.
His Developmental psychology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cognition, Personality and Anxiety.
His Demography research integrates issues from Body mass index, Birth weight, Young adult, Gene–environment interaction and Socioeconomic status.
His Heritability research is within the category of Genetics.
Robert Plomin has included themes like Spatial ability, Genetic predisposition, Gene-environment correlation, Association and Child development in his Twins Early Development Study study.
His Genome-wide association study research includes themes of Quantitative trait locus, Genetic variation and Allele.
Between 2014 and 2021, his most popular works were:
- Common schizophrenia alleles are enriched in mutation-intolerant genes and in regions under strong background selection (685 citations)
- Genetic variants associated with subjective well-being, depressive symptoms, and neuroticism identified through genome-wide analyses (588 citations)
- Genome-wide association meta-analysis in 269,867 individuals identifies new genetic and functional links to intelligence (403 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Developmental psychology
- Cognition
- Gene
His primary areas of study are Demography, Developmental psychology, Genome-wide association study, Heritability and Twin study.
His Demography research includes elements of Body mass index, Twins Early Development Study, Decile, Gene–environment interaction and Anthropometry.
Specifically, his work in Developmental psychology is concerned with the study of Behavioural genetics.
His Genome-wide association study research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Quantitative trait locus, Schizophrenia, Genetic association and Candidate gene.
The concepts of his Heritability study are interwoven with issues in Cohort study, Face perception, Young adult, Conduct disorder and Visual perception.
His research in Twin study intersects with topics in Paranoid Disorders, Paranoia, Human factors and ergonomics and Anhedonia.
