Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry

Sally E. Shaywitz focuses on Reading, Dyslexia, Reading disability, Developmental psychology and Cognitive psychology. Her Reading study combines topics in areas such as Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Cognition. Sally E. Shaywitz has researched Dyslexia in several fields, including Inferior frontal gyrus, Language disorder and Fluency.

Her Reading disability research integrates issues from Lateralization of brain function and El Niño, Pediatrics. Her Developmental psychology research incorporates elements of Functional imaging and Intelligence quotient. The Cognitive psychology study combines topics in areas such as Reading Problems and Phonology.

Her most cited work include:

  • A Definition of Dyslexia. (1157 citations)
  • Disruption of posterior brain systems for reading in children with developmental dyslexia. (791 citations)
  • Prevalence of reading disability in boys and girls. Results of the Connecticut Longitudinal Study. (756 citations)

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

Her main research concerns Dyslexia, Developmental psychology, Reading, Cognitive psychology and Learning disability. Her research integrates issues of Communication disorder, Language disorder and Audiology in her study of Dyslexia. Her Developmental psychology research includes themes of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, Longitudinal study, Intelligence quotient and Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Her Reading research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Inferior frontal gyrus and Fluency. Her work in Cognitive psychology addresses subjects such as Functional magnetic resonance imaging, which are connected to disciplines such as Brain mapping. Sally E. Shaywitz works mostly in the field of Learning disability, limiting it down to topics relating to Cognition and, in certain cases, Clinical psychology and Nosology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Dyslexia (37.50%)
  • Developmental psychology (36.25%)
  • Reading (36.25%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2006-2021)?

  • Dyslexia (37.50%)
  • Reading (36.25%)
  • Developmental psychology (36.25%)

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

Sally E. Shaywitz mostly deals with Dyslexia, Reading, Developmental psychology, Cognitive psychology and Learning disability. Her Dyslexia study focuses on Biological theories of dyslexia in particular. Her studies deal with areas such as Psychological intervention, Communication disorder and Fluency as well as Reading.

She interconnects Longitudinal study, Intelligence quotient, Reading comprehension and Comprehension in the investigation of issues within Developmental psychology. Sally E. Shaywitz combines subjects such as Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Cognition with her study of Cognitive psychology. Her Learning disability research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Intervention, Response to intervention and Reading disability.

Between 2006 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Paying attention to reading: The neurobiology of reading and dyslexia (320 citations)
  • The Education of Dyslexic Children from Childhood to Young Adulthood (266 citations)
  • Response to Intervention: Ready or Not? Or, From Wait-to-Fail to Watch-Them-Fail. (166 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Internal medicine
  • Psychiatry

Sally E. Shaywitz mainly focuses on Dyslexia, Reading, Cognitive psychology, Developmental psychology and Learning disability. Her work carried out in the field of Cognitive psychology brings together such families of science as Psychological intervention, Biological theories of dyslexia, Cognition, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Fluency. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Neuroscience, Adjunct and Reading disability.

In her study, Language disorder, Age related, Brain mapping, Visual perception and Association is inextricably linked to Phonology, which falls within the broad field of Functional magnetic resonance imaging. Sally E. Shaywitz has included themes like Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Longitudinal study, Reading comprehension and Contingent negative variation in her Developmental psychology study. Her Learning disability study deals with Intervention intersecting with Focus.
