In 2007, Johnson co-authored (with Denis Mareschal, Sylvain Sirois, Michael Spratling, Michael Thomas and Gert Westermann) ''Neuroconstructivism'',{{cite book|author=Mareschal, Denis|title=Neuroconstructivism: Volumes I & II (Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience)|publisher=Oxford University Press|location=Oxford, UK|year=2007|isbn=978-0-19-921482-2}} which discusses the relationship between cognition, the brain and the environment. Specifically, they argue that "the brain acquires and develops multiple, fragmentary [[Representation (psychology)|representations]] that are just sufficient for on-the-fly processing" and that these representations "serve to cause behaviours rather than to mirror the environment." Volume 2 contains a variety of neural network models that investigate how these representations change during learning (including models from Randy O’Reilly, Matthew Schlesinger and Yuko Munakata).

Johnson specialises in the development of the brain networks subserving social cognition. He is the author of more than 200 papers, and has written or edited seven books, most notably his textbook ''Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience''{{cite book|author=Johnson, Mark|title=Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2nd Ed.|publisher=Blackwell Publishing|location=Oxford|year=2005|isbn=1-4051-2629-9}} He serves, with Denis Mareschal, as co-editor of the journal ''Developmental Science''.{{citation needed|date=April 2019}}
