Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Law
  • Statistics

Valerie F. Reyna mainly focuses on Fuzzy-trace theory, Cognitive psychology, Social psychology, Cognition and False memory. Her Fuzzy-trace theory research incorporates themes from Cognitive development, Risk perception, Developmental psychology, Cognitive science and Framing effect. Her Cognitive psychology study incorporates themes from Identity, Misinformation and Interim.

Her Social psychology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Memory performance and Conjunction fallacy. Her Cognition study combines topics in areas such as Numeracy, Recall and Encoding. Her False memory study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Stop sign, Memory errors, Distraction and Counterintuitive.

Her most cited work include:

  • Fuzzy-trace theory: An interim synthesis (882 citations)
  • Risk and Rationality in Adolescent Decision Making: Implications for Theory, Practice, and Public Policy (874 citations)
  • How numeracy influences risk comprehension and medical decision making. (717 citations)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Fuzzy-trace theory, Cognitive psychology, Cognition, Social psychology and Developmental psychology. Her work carried out in the field of Fuzzy-trace theory brings together such families of science as Numeracy, Cognitive science, Framing effect and Artificial intelligence. Her Cognitive psychology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cognitive development and Memory development.

Memoria and Free recall are the primary areas of interest in her Cognition study. Her study focuses on the intersection of Social psychology and fields such as Risk perception with connections in the field of Health literacy. Valerie F. Reyna combines subjects such as Illusion and Memory errors with her study of False memory.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Fuzzy-trace theory (38.98%)
  • Cognitive psychology (37.06%)
  • Cognition (25.88%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Fuzzy-trace theory (38.98%)
  • Cognitive psychology (37.06%)
  • GiST (10.22%)

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

Valerie F. Reyna mostly deals with Fuzzy-trace theory, Cognitive psychology, GiST, Numeracy and Clinical psychology. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mathematical ability, Mathematics education, Meaning, Arithmetic and Allais paradox. Her Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cognition, Mental representation, Dual process theory, Control and Neuroimaging.

Her study in the field of Working memory is also linked to topics like sort. Her work investigates the relationship between Numeracy and topics such as Pain and suffering that intersect with problems in Psychiatry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cognitive development and Risk perception in addition to Construal level theory.

Between 2017 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Predicting Violent Behavior: What Can Neuroscience Add? (29 citations)
  • A scientific theory of gist communication and misinformation resistance, with implications for health, education, and policy (12 citations)
  • Patients’ and Clinicians’ Perceptions of Antibiotic Prescribing for Upper Respiratory Infections in the Acute Care Setting (11 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Law
  • Statistics

Her primary areas of study are Fuzzy-trace theory, Developmental psychology, Advanced cancer, Intensive care medicine and GiST. Fuzzy-trace theory and Irrational number are two areas of study in which she engages in interdisciplinary work. The Developmental psychology study combines topics in areas such as Representation, Affect and Perception.

Her Advanced cancer research includes elements of Palliative chemotherapy, Health knowledge, Palliative radiation, Poor prognosis and Treatment intent. Her Intensive care medicine research integrates issues from Psycho-oncology and Anxiety. Her Medical physics study incorporates themes from Comprehension and Readability.
