What is she best known for?
The fields of study she is best known for:
- Artificial intelligence
- Statistics
- Cognitive psychology
Valerie A. Thompson focuses on Cognitive psychology, Social psychology, Metacognition, Syllogism and Cognitive science.
Her study in Cognitive psychology is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Levels-of-processing effect and Dual-coding theory.
Her Social psychology research incorporates themes from Necessity and sufficiency, Inference and Modus tollens.
Valerie A. Thompson works mostly in the field of Metacognition, limiting it down to concerns involving Feeling and, occasionally, Causal reasoning and Categorical variable.
In her work, Heuristic and Deductive reasoning is strongly intertwined with Contrast, which is a subfield of Syllogism.
Her studies deal with areas such as Base rate, Artificial intelligence and Natural language processing as well as Cognitive science.
Her most cited work include:
- Intuition, reason, and metacognition (298 citations)
- Frequency versus probability formats in statistical word problems. (173 citations)
- Dual-process theories: A metacognitive perspective. (157 citations)
What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?
Her scientific interests lie mostly in Cognitive psychology, Social psychology, Inference, Deductive reasoning and Metacognition.
The various areas that Valerie A. Thompson examines in her Cognitive psychology study include Syllogism, Feeling, Cognitive science and Contrast.
She combines subjects such as Modus tollens, Causality, Causal reasoning and Belief bias with her study of Social psychology.
As a part of the same scientific study, Valerie A. Thompson usually deals with the Inference, concentrating on Statistics and frequently concerns with Mathematical economics.
As part of the same scientific family, Valerie A. Thompson usually focuses on Deductive reasoning, concentrating on Non-monotonic logic and intersecting with Analytic reasoning.
Her work on Metamemory as part of general Metacognition research is frequently linked to Control, bridging the gap between disciplines.
She most often published in these fields:
- Cognitive psychology (54.76%)
- Social psychology (33.33%)
- Inference (17.86%)
What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?
- Cognitive psychology (54.76%)
- Belief bias (11.90%)
- Social psychology (33.33%)
In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:
Valerie A. Thompson focuses on Cognitive psychology, Belief bias, Social psychology, Inference and Deductive reasoning.
Her research integrates issues of Cognitive load, Metacognition, Base rate fallacy and Logical reasoning in her study of Cognitive psychology.
Valerie A. Thompson studied Belief bias and Dual process theory that intersect with Calculus, Belief structure, Modus tollens and Modus ponens.
Within one scientific family, Valerie A. Thompson focuses on topics pertaining to Content validity under Social psychology, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Representation.
Her Inference study combines topics in areas such as Working memory, Deontic logic, Eye tracking and Normative.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Syllogism, Fallacy, Inductive reasoning and Natural language processing in addition to Deductive reasoning.
Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:
- Meta-Reasoning: Monitoring and Control of Thinking and Reasoning (69 citations)
- Disfluent Fonts Don't Help People Solve Math Problems (43 citations)
- Rule-based reasoning is fast and belief-based reasoning can be slow: Challenging current explanations of belief-bias and base-rate neglect (39 citations)
In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Statistics
- Artificial intelligence
- Cognitive psychology
Valerie A. Thompson spends much of her time researching Cognitive psychology, Deductive reasoning, Social psychology, Metacognition and Content validity.
Cognitive psychology and Fluency are two areas of study in which Valerie A. Thompson engages in interdisciplinary work.
She interconnects Phenomenon, Coherence, Bayesian probability and Stroop effect in the investigation of issues within Deductive reasoning.
Her work carried out in the field of Social psychology brings together such families of science as Dual process theory and Belief bias.
Her Metacognition research integrates issues from Certainty, Qualitative reasoning and Memorization.
Her Content validity research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Representation and Normative.
