What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Cognitive psychology
- Artificial intelligence
- Recall
His primary areas of investigation include Recall, Cognitive psychology, Metamemory, Metacognition and Developmental psychology.
His research on Recall often connects related areas such as Verbal learning.
He focuses mostly in the field of Cognitive psychology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Social psychology and, in certain cases, Test.
His Metamemory research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Machine learning and Metacomprehension.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Nonparametric statistics, Artificial intelligence, Communication and Test validity in addition to Metacomprehension.
His work deals with themes such as Control, Affect, Distributed Practice and Memory performance, which intersect with Metacognition.
His most cited work include:
- A comparison of current measures of the accuracy of feeling-of-knowing predictions (786 citations)
- Why investigate metacognition (483 citations)
- When People's Judgments of Learning (JOLs) are Extremely Accurate at Predicting Subsequent Recall: The “Delayed-JOL Effect” (442 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cognitive psychology, Recall, Social psychology, Metamemory and Metacognition.
His work carried out in the field of Cognitive psychology brings together such families of science as Semantics and Long-term memory.
His studies in Recall integrate themes in fields like Developmental psychology, Overlearning, Test and Affect.
His work in the fields of Feeling overlaps with other areas such as Normative, Function and Homogeneous.
His work is dedicated to discovering how Metamemory, Metacomprehension are connected with Nonparametric statistics and Test validity and other disciplines.
His work on Metacognitive Monitoring as part of general Metacognition study is frequently linked to Monitoring and control, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science.
He most often published in these fields:
- Cognitive psychology (54.41%)
- Recall (50.00%)
- Social psychology (29.41%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2002-2014)?
- Cognitive psychology (54.41%)
- Metacognition (22.06%)
- Metamemory (27.94%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Thomas O. Nelson mostly deals with Cognitive psychology, Metacognition, Metamemory, Developmental psychology and Recall.
His research integrates issues of Social psychology, Self-fulfilling prophecy and Memory performance in his study of Cognitive psychology.
His Metamemory study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Calibration, Statistics, Prefrontal cortex and Cognitive neuropsychology.
His studies deal with areas such as Contrast and Affect as well as Developmental psychology.
His research in Affect intersects with topics in Memoria, Experimental psychology and TRACE.
Thomas O. Nelson conducted interdisciplinary study in his works that combined Recall and Monitoring and control.
Between 2002 and 2014, his most popular works were:
- Metacognition and Cognitive Neuropsychology : Monitoring and Control Processes (50 citations)
- How many dimensions underlie judgments of learning and recall? Evidence from state-trace methodology. (30 citations)
- Delayed judgments of learning cause both a decrease in absolute accuracy (calibration) and an increase in relative accuracy (resolution). (24 citations)
