Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Social science
  • Semantics

Sandra R. Waxman focuses on Categorization, Language acquisition, Cognitive development, Cognitive psychology and Language development. Her Categorization research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Developmental psychology, Noun and Object. Her Language acquisition research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Object, Perception, Linguistic competence and Lexicon.

Her studies examine the connections between Cognitive development and genetics, as well as such issues in Superordinate goals, with regards to Preschool child. Her biological study deals with issues like Vocabulary, which deal with fields such as Semantics, Natural language processing and Artificial intelligence. The study incorporates disciplines such as Word recognition, Word, Word and Psycholinguistics in addition to Language development.

Her most cited work include:

  • Words as invitations to form categories: evidence from 12- to 13-month-old infants (532 citations)
  • Do words facilitate object categorization in 9-month-old infants? (320 citations)
  • Words (but not tones) facilitate object categorization: evidence from 6- and 12-month-olds. (191 citations)

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

Sandra R. Waxman mostly deals with Cognitive psychology, Noun, Categorization, Language acquisition and Developmental psychology. Her study looks at the relationship between Cognitive psychology and fields such as Perception, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems. She has included themes like Object, Language development, Verb and Meaning in her Noun study.

Her Categorization research incorporates elements of Cognitive development, Communication, Object, Set and Object. Her Language acquisition research includes elements of Active listening, Lexicon, Vocabulary, Vocabulary development and Concept learning. Her Vocabulary study combines topics in areas such as Semantics and Verbal learning.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cognitive psychology (30.77%)
  • Noun (27.47%)
  • Categorization (26.37%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Cognitive psychology (30.77%)
  • Categorization (26.37%)
  • Language acquisition (23.63%)

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

Her primary areas of study are Cognitive psychology, Categorization, Language acquisition, Noun and Developmental psychology. Her research integrates issues of Construal level theory, Visual perception, Perception and Object in her study of Cognitive psychology. Her studies deal with areas such as Object, Concept learning and Cognitive science as well as Categorization.

Her Language acquisition research integrates issues from Novelty, Language development and Active listening. The various areas that Sandra R. Waxman examines in her Noun study include Verb, Modal verb, Vocabulary development, Vocabulary and Conjunction. Sandra R. Waxman combines subjects such as Divergence and Eye movement with her study of Developmental psychology.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • A Collaborative Approach to Infant Research : Promoting Reproducibility, Best Practices, and Theory-Building (117 citations)
  • What the [beep]? Six-month-olds link novel communicative signals to meaning (57 citations)
  • Linking language and categorization in infancy. (47 citations)

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

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Social science
  • Semantics

Sandra R. Waxman mainly focuses on Language acquisition, Categorization, Developmental psychology, Noun and Perception. Her Language acquisition study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Fixation, Speech perception, Language development and Active listening. Her Language development research includes themes of Sentence, Vocabulary and Task analysis.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cognitive science, Meaning, Communication and First language. Her Noun study combines topics in areas such as Modal verb, Object, Similarity, Vocabulary development and Concept learning. Sandra R. Waxman studied Perception and Space that intersect with Cognitive psychology.
