Allik?s main contributions to international psychology lie mainly in two areas: visual perception and eye movement, and the comparative study of collectivism vs. individualism. Within Estonia and in Estonian, his highly critical publications on Sigmund Freud, on the history of psychology, and on the measuring of science productivity, the transition of science, and quality control are of great importance as well.
