==Research==
His research has focused on typical and atypical emotional and intellectual development. By focusing on the normal course of development, he has been able to articulate the sequence of developmental capacities of the child in regard to its intellectual growth and relate this to changes in the organization of its central nervous system functioning. His discoveries of techniques to measure CNS functioning, through the use of the habituation-dishabituation paradigm, are widely used throughout the country and have become the standard measurement system used to predict atypical growth as well as typical development. Using these measurement instruments, he has been able to develop computer-based techniques for enhancing intellectual ability in children suffering from a variety of disorders associated with developmental delays. These include children with Down syndrome, preterm infants, and children with cerebral palsy.
His work on emotional development and consciousness is part of a series of books on the development of consciousness. In his 1979 book, ''Social Cognition and the Acquisition of Self'', he began the research on the use of mirror recognition as a measure of consciousness. His 1983 book, ''Children's Emotions and Moods'', was the first volume devoted to emotional development, and his ''Handbook of Emotions (1st edition)'' (1993) was awarded the 1995 Choice Magazine’s Outstanding Academic Book Award. It is now it its 3rd edition (2008). In ''Altering Fate: Why The Past Does Not Predict The Future'' (1997), a finalist for the 1998 Eleanor Maccoby Book Award, Lewis attempted to describe various developmental theories and argues for the proposition that early childhood does not seal one's fate. Professor Lewis argues that children's environments, at whatever age, determine how children behave, and he suggests that altering environments should be the major task in effecting social adjustment and mental health.
Besides these books he has authored ''Language Interaction Intervention Program: A Workshop Curriculum for Parent Training'' (1991), and two research monographs including ''A developmental study of information processing within the first three years of life: Response decrement to a redundant signal'' (1969) and ''The determinants of children's responses to separation'' (1977). Many of these books have been translated into German, Italian, Polish, Russian, Danish and Japanese. The most recent of these edited volumes include the ''Handbook of Developmental Psychopathology: 3rd edition'' (2014), an ''Introduction to Infant Development, Canadian Edition'' (2011), ''The Cambridge Handbook of Environment in Human Development: A Handbook of Theory and Measurement'' (2012), and ''Gender Differences in Prenatal Substance Exposure'' (2012). In addition, he has had published over 400 articles and chapters in professional journals and scholarly texts.
