Biography
I obtained my PhD in Psychology at The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2009. I joined the Department of Education Studies, HKBU in 2012. I am trained in experimental psychology, with a research focus on Chinese language processing. My research was conducted with factorial experiments, megastudies, eye-tracking, and event-related potential (ERP) recording. Recently, I am working on projects that examine the cognitive functioning of old Chinese readers.
