本實驗室綜合使用橫斷和追蹤設計，以及認知行為實驗（如、習慣化-轉換範式，反應時實驗，紙筆測試，心理物理學實驗）、腦電和磁共振成像技術探讨兒童語言和閱讀發展的認知神經機制。研究問題主要集中在以下三個方面：

第一，探讨早期語言發展與後期閱讀發展之間的關系。具體關心早期詞彙學習過程詞物聯結能力對未來閱讀發展中形音聯結能力的預測，以考察語言和閱讀學習中的跨通道聯結學習以及統計學習規律。同時考察語義（概念）在形音聯結學習中的作用。

第二，探讨早期一般認知能力、元語言學技能、數量知識以及數感能力對兒童閱讀和數學學業成績的預測及其發展軌迹。同時考察兒童自我認知（解釋風格）對早期認知能力預測學業成績的調節作用和發展特點。

第三，探讨漢語兒童一語（中文）和二語（英文）閱讀及閱讀障礙的神經機制，考察雙語閱讀發展的一般機制以及受語言文字特點調節的特異性神經機制。

本實驗室歡迎對發展認知神經科學、發展教育神經科學感興趣的同學報考。我們也接受不同學科背景和不同年齡的學生（中學生、本科生、研究生）進行暑期實習，體驗研究工作，了解研究過程。
