Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Autism
  • Developmental psychology

Simon Baron-Cohen spends much of his time researching Autism, Developmental psychology, Cognitive psychology, Asperger syndrome and Developmental disorder. His Autism study incorporates themes from Empathy, Theory of mind, Cognition and Clinical psychology. His Developmental psychology study combines topics in areas such as Sex characteristics, Mental age and Audiology.

Simon Baron-Cohen has included themes like Working memory, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Neuroscience, Amygdala and Social cognition in his Cognitive psychology study. Simon Baron-Cohen interconnects Psychological testing, Mass screening, High-functioning autism, Test validity and Facial expression in the investigation of issues within Asperger syndrome. The Developmental disorder study combines topics in areas such as Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, El Niño, Psychometrics and Checklist for Autism in Toddlers.

His most cited work include:

  • Does the autistic child have a theory of mind (5315 citations)
  • The autism-spectrum quotient (AQ): evidence from Asperger syndrome/high-functioning autism, males and females, scientists and mathematicians. (3615 citations)
  • The ''Reading the Mind in the Eyes'' Test Revised Version: A Study with Normal Adults, and Adults with Asperger Syndrome or High-functioning Autism (3585 citations)

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

Simon Baron-Cohen focuses on Autism, Developmental psychology, Cognitive psychology, Cognition and Asperger syndrome. He works in the field of Autism, focusing on Developmental disorder in particular. His study in Developmental psychology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Audiology, Social cognition and Testosterone.

His research integrates issues of Facial expression and Perception in his study of Cognitive psychology. He regularly links together related areas like High-functioning autism in his Asperger syndrome studies. His Clinical psychology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Psychiatry and Neuropsychology.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Autism (82.58%)
  • Developmental psychology (41.23%)
  • Cognitive psychology (22.27%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Autism (82.58%)
  • Clinical psychology (15.40%)
  • Autism spectrum disorder (10.19%)

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

Autism, Clinical psychology, Autism spectrum disorder, Developmental psychology and Neuroscience are his primary areas of study. The various areas that he examines in his Autism study include Empathy, Cognitive psychology, Genome-wide association study and Audiology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Theory of mind and Categorical variable.

His Clinical psychology study which covers Empathy quotient that intersects with Autism-spectrum quotient. His Developmental psychology research includes themes of Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Cognition. His work on Resting state fMRI, Neurogenesis and Oxytocin receptor as part of general Neuroscience study is frequently connected to Induced pluripotent stem cell, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Sensory perception in autism (260 citations)
  • “Putting on My Best Normal”: Social Camouflaging in Adults with Autism Spectrum Conditions (194 citations)
  • Quantifying and exploring camouflaging in men and women with autism (179 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Neuroscience
  • Statistics

His main research concerns Autism, Autism spectrum disorder, Clinical psychology, Developmental psychology and Cognitive psychology. His Autism study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mental health, Cognition and Audiology. His Autism spectrum disorder research includes elements of Cerebral cortex, Neuroscience, Brain mapping and Cohort.

His Clinical psychology research incorporates elements of Well-being, Anxiety, Empathy, Depression and Autistic traits. His studies in Developmental psychology integrate themes in fields like Coping, Elementary cognitive task, Perception and Intellectual disability. Simon Baron-Cohen has researched Cognitive psychology in several fields, including Covariance, Divergence, Group and Categorical variable.
