What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Social psychology
- Cognition
- Developmental psychology
Todd F. Heatherton spends much of his time researching Social psychology, Developmental psychology, Cognition, Cognitive psychology and Functional magnetic resonance imaging.
His work on Personality and Self-awareness as part of general Social psychology research is often related to Scale, thus linking different fields of science.
His study in the fields of Interpersonal interaction under the domain of Developmental psychology overlaps with other disciplines such as Cue reactivity.
His work on Self-control expands to the thematically related Cognition.
The various areas that Todd F. Heatherton examines in his Cognitive psychology study include Personality Assessment Inventory, Prefrontal cortex and Brain mapping.
He has included themes like Functional imaging, Executive dysfunction and Right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in his Functional magnetic resonance imaging study.
His most cited work include:
- The Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence: a revision of the Fagerström Tolerance Questionnaire. (8003 citations)
- Binge eating as escape from self-awareness. (1637 citations)
- Self-Regulation Failure: An Overview (1453 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Developmental psychology, Cognitive psychology, Social psychology, Prefrontal cortex and Cognition.
His Developmental psychology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Overweight, Dieting and Distress.
His research in Cognitive psychology intersects with topics in Social perception, Functional neuroimaging, Neuroimaging, Social cognition and Brain mapping.
His Social psychology study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Social environment.
Todd F. Heatherton focuses mostly in the field of Prefrontal cortex, narrowing it down to matters related to Functional magnetic resonance imaging and, in some cases, Functional imaging.
His research combines Self-control and Cognition.
He most often published in these fields:
- Developmental psychology (32.65%)
- Cognitive psychology (23.98%)
- Social psychology (21.94%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2020)?
- Cognitive psychology (23.98%)
- Developmental psychology (32.65%)
- Prefrontal cortex (16.33%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Todd F. Heatherton focuses on Cognitive psychology, Developmental psychology, Prefrontal cortex, Neuroscience and Cognition.
The concepts of his Cognitive psychology study are interwoven with issues in Social psychology, Neuroimaging, Brain mapping and Social perception.
His research in Developmental psychology is mostly concerned with Mentalization.
His work deals with themes such as Distress, Functional magnetic resonance imaging, Inferior frontal gyrus and Functional neuroimaging, which intersect with Prefrontal cortex.
His Neuroscience study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as White matter and Diffusion MRI.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Intervention, Construct, Appetite regulation and Goal setting in addition to Cognition.
Between 2012 and 2020, his most popular works were:
- Self-Regulatory Strength: Neural Mechanisms and Implications for Training (266 citations)
- Neural Predictors of Giving in to Temptation in Daily Life (144 citations)
- Self-Regulatory Depletion Enhances Neural Responses to Rewards and Impairs Top-Down Control (106 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Social psychology
- Cognition
- Neuroscience
Prefrontal cortex, Developmental psychology, Cognitive psychology, Functional magnetic resonance imaging and Self-control are his primary areas of study.
His Prefrontal cortex research entails a greater understanding of Cognition.
The Developmental psychology study combines topics in areas such as Food marketing, Unhealthy eating and Sensory cue.
His Cognitive psychology research includes elements of Motion perception, Theory of mind, Stimulus and Social cognition.
His research integrates issues of Self-esteem, Brain mapping and Self in his study of Functional magnetic resonance imaging.
The Self-control study combines topics in areas such as Impulse, Neuroscience and Inferior frontal gyrus.
