In 1967, Greenfield received the First Award in the Creative Talent Awards Program of the American Institutes for Research for her dissertation entitled "Culture, concepts, and conservation: A comparative study of cognitive development in Senegal."
Greenfield is known for her cross-cultural work on child development and her exceptional teaching in the field of psychology.
She received the American Association for the Advancement of Science Award for Behavioral Science Research for her 1991 paper titled Language, tools and brain: The ontogeny and phylogeny of hierarchically organized sequential behavior, which appeared in the journal Behavioral and Brain Sciences.
Greenfield was appointed Fellow of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences, Stanford, California (2004-2005), National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow, Resident Scholar, School of American Research, Santa Fe (1999-2000), and Science Fellow of the Bunting Institute (1986-1987).
She is a Fellow of the American Psychological Association, the American Psychological Society (renamed the Association for Psychological Science), the American Association of Applied Psychology, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.
Greenfield is known for her research relating to cultural psychology and change, inspired by 35 years of work in Chiapas, Mexico.
She is interested in how culture influences human development and shapes the way individuals think.
Greenfield was awarded the 2005 R. L. Shep Award for best book of the year for Weaving Generations Together: Evolving Creativity in the Maya of Chiapas.
This work aimed to understand patterns of cultural inheritance across generations.

Greenfield's research, in collaboration with Joshua Smith, explored the structure of communication in early language development through diary reports and formal observations of two boys' usage of one-word verbal communication.
Another line of research addressed the question of whether cross-cultural differences undermine the validity of ability tests applied outside of their culture of origin.
In her publication, You can't take it with you: Why ability assessments don't cross cultures, Greenfield discussed how to detect and adjust for cultural misunderstandings in assessments of intellectual ability.
Her book Mind and Media examined the effects of television, video games and computers on child development.
