What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Artificial intelligence
- Cognitive psychology
- Social science
Cognitive psychology, Schema, Recall, Comprehension and Autobiographical memory are his primary areas of study.
His work in the fields of Cognitive psychology, such as Recall test, intersects with other areas such as Operant conditioning and Classical conditioning.
His Schema study frequently involves adjacent topics like Reading comprehension.
His biological study deals with issues like Narrative, which deal with fields such as Social psychology.
His studies in Autobiographical memory integrate themes in fields like Metamemory, Cognitive science, Forgetting and Episodic memory.
The Episodic memory study combines topics in areas such as Context and Semantic memory.
His most cited work include:
- Mental Models of the Earth: A Study of Conceptual Change in Childhood (1238 citations)
- The Role of Anomalous Data in Knowledge Acquisition: A Theoretical Framework and Implications for Science Instruction (1165 citations)
- Role of Schemata in Memory for Places (593 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
William F. Brewer mainly focuses on Cognitive psychology, Recall, Cognitive science, Narrative and Schema.
His research integrates issues of Social psychology, Implicit memory, Metacognition, Recognition memory and Social cognition in his study of Cognitive psychology.
His research in Recall tackles topics such as Sentence which are related to areas like Inference and Memoria.
His Cognitive science study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Mental representation, Flashbulb memory, Autobiographical memory, Long-term memory and Reconstructive memory.
His Mental representation research incorporates elements of Developmental psychology, Construct and Scientific theory.
His research on Narrative also deals with topics like
- Comprehension which is related to area like Psycholinguistics,
- Reading comprehension that connect with fields like Affect theory.
He most often published in these fields:
- Cognitive psychology (28.26%)
- Recall (19.57%)

- Philosophy of science (5.43%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
His primary areas of study are Cognitive psychology, Cognitive science, Philosophy of science, Science education and Perception.
His biological study focuses on Recall.
His study in the fields of Autobiographical memory under the domain of Recall overlaps with other disciplines such as Fixed time.
His work deals with themes such as Schema, Scientific modelling, Knowledge representation and reasoning and Knowledge acquisition, which intersect with Cognitive science.
The various areas that William F. Brewer examines in his Philosophy of science study include Mental representation, Conceptual framework, Argument, Psychologism and Scientific theory.
William F. Brewer focuses mostly in the field of Science education, narrowing it down to matters related to Empirical research and, in some cases, Science teachers and Secondary education.
Between 1997 and 2017, his most popular works were:
- An empirical test of a taxonomy of responses to anomalous data in science. (266 citations)
- Models of data: A theory of how people evaluate data (131 citations)
