What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Cognition
- Artificial intelligence
- Law
His primary areas of study are Vigilance, Cognitive psychology, Social psychology, Cognition and Audiology.
His study in Vigilance is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Arousal, Perception, Working memory and Developmental psychology, Impulsivity.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Factor structure, Distress, Worry and Task engagement in addition to Developmental psychology.
His work on Psychological research, Optimism pessimism and False feedback as part of general Social psychology research is frequently linked to Resource dependence theory and Vigil, bridging the gap between disciplines.
In his study, Perceptual Masking, Psychophysics and Automaticity is inextricably linked to Salience, which falls within the broad field of Cognition.
His research investigates the connection with Audiology and areas like Functional near-infrared spectroscopy which intersect with concerns in Response inhibition, Right hemisphere, Left Cerebral Hemisphere and Lateral dominance.
His most cited work include:
- Signal salience and the mindlessness theory of vigilance. (186 citations)
- Signal regularity and the mindlessness model of vigilance (130 citations)
- Optimism, pessimism, and false failure feedback: Effects on vigilance performance (113 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cognitive psychology, Vigilance, Social psychology, Cognition and Audiology.
His research integrates issues of Cognitive load, Working memory, Response inhibition and Perception in his study of Cognitive psychology.
His Vigilance research integrates issues from Developmental psychology, Arousal, Functional near-infrared spectroscopy and Habituation.
His research in Cognition tackles topics such as Worry which are related to areas like Task engagement.
His studies in Laterality and Lateralization of brain function are all subfields of Audiology research.
His work investigates the relationship between Injury prevention and topics such as Suicide prevention that intersect with problems in Human factors and ergonomics.
