Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Cognition
  • Perception
  • Artificial intelligence

Wolfgang Prinz spends much of his time researching Cognitive psychology, Perception, Cognition, Social psychology and Communication. His Cognitive psychology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Action, Stimulus, Motor control, Motor learning and Imitation learning. His Perception study incorporates themes from Ideomotor theory and Coding.

His work on Memoria and Trial Type as part of general Cognition research is often related to Body movement and Information integration, thus linking different fields of science. His studies deal with areas such as Simon effect, Psychophysics, Field and Social cognition as well as Social psychology. The concepts of his Communication study are interwoven with issues in Sensory system, Kinesthetic learning, Finger movement, Visual feedback and Cognitive science.

His most cited work include:

  • The Theory of Event Coding (TEC): A framework for perception and action planning. (2233 citations)
  • Perception and Action Planning (1519 citations)
  • Compatibility between observed and executed finger movements: comparing symbolic, spatial, and imitative cues. (598 citations)

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

His main research concerns Cognitive psychology, Action, Perception, Communication and Cognition. His Cognitive psychology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Social psychology, Psychological research, Stimulus, Simon effect and Developmental psychology. His Action study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Representation, Artificial intelligence, Imitation and Cognitive science.

His Perception research incorporates elements of Mirror neuron, Action planning, Speech recognition and Social cognition. His study in Communication is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Movement, Coding and Sensory system. Wolfgang Prinz conducts interdisciplinary study in the fields of Cognition and Body movement through his works.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Cognitive psychology (35.14%)
  • Action (26.65%)
  • Perception (25.47%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2020)?

  • Cognitive psychology (35.14%)
  • Action (26.65%)
  • Perception (25.47%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Cognitive psychology, Action, Perception, Cognitive science and Social psychology. He combines subjects such as Stimulus, Simon effect, Cognition and Psychological research with his study of Cognitive psychology. His Cognition study combines topics in areas such as Context, Context effect and Representation.

Wolfgang Prinz has included themes like Imitation and Eye tracking, Artificial intelligence in his Action study. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Mirror neuron, Motor control, Communication and Eye movement. His Cognitive science research includes elements of Social cognition and Anticipation.

Between 2010 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Cognition and Motor Processes (373 citations)
  • The (not so) social Simon effect: a referential coding account. (123 citations)
  • Robotic movement preferentially engages the action observation network (114 citations)

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

  • Cognition
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Perception

Wolfgang Prinz mostly deals with Cognitive psychology, Perception, Cognition, Action and Communication. His work carried out in the field of Cognitive psychology brings together such families of science as Stimulus, Simon effect and Social psychology, Psychological research. The study incorporates disciplines such as Mirror neuron, Cognitive science, Computer vision and Artificial intelligence in addition to Perception.

His research in Cognition intersects with topics in Social actions, Context effect and Epistemology, Conceptual system, Relation. His Action research focuses on Imitation and how it connects with Developmental psychology, Field and Volition. His work on Interpersonal communication as part of general Communication study is frequently connected to Matching, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
