Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Donald M. Johnson's research spans several decades and fields, with a significant focus on the psychology of thinking, judgment, and related cognitive processes. His early work investigated the speed and confidence in judgment tasks and explored the psychology of invention in the mathematical field. Later publications delved into the psychology of thought and judgment more broadly, and the temporal orientation of individuals within the context of delinquency.

More recent publications indicate a shift in research focus to include medical and biological topics. These include investigations into atopic dermatitis, particularly its polarization in the skin, and the association of BRAF mutations with neurocutaneous melanocytosis and congenital melanocytic nevi. Johnson's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 24, 194 total publications, and 2,596 total citations, designating him as a highly cited researcher. He has received $25,000 from the NSF as a Co-PI for the 50th Arkansas Spring Lecture Series in the Mathematical Sciences. Johnson leads a research group and collaborates with several colleagues at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Christopher M. Estepp (14 shared publications), William Doss (7 shared publications), and George W. Wardlow (5 shared publications).
