Project Start Year: 2021, Principal Investigator(s): WANG, Jie 王洁, CHUNG, Yiu Bun 鍾耀斌
 
A Computerized Adaptive Lexical Test for Chinese Readers at Different Proficiency Levels: A Pilot Study
To design different tasks to tap on phonological, orthographic, and morphological aspects of Chinese lexical knowledge;
To develop a lexical test that can efficiently estimate Chinese readers’ proficiency level.
Project Start Year: 2021, Principal Investigator(s): WANG, Jie 王洁
 
Implicit Learning: From Theory to Application
To increase students’ awareness and understanding of the implicit learning mechanism through participation in a series of experiential activities;
To guide students’ application of the implicit learning mechanism to real educational context so as to facilitate their own learning in the future.

Word-Form Encoding in Chinese Handwriting: Examining the Roles of Radicals and Logographemes
This project aims to investigate the cognitive mechanisms underlying Chinese handwritten word production. Understanding the roles of radicals and logographemes in Chinese handwritten word production is necessary to improve the teaching and learning of Chinese.

Effects of orthographic overlap on Chinese handwritten word production
Most Chinese characters are composed of two or more radicals. It has been heatedly debated whether Chinese character recognition involves representations of position-general radicals. A similar issue remains largely unexplored in the domain of handwritten word production. If participants are able to prepare the shared radical in different positions in the proposed study, it would lend strong support to the psychological reality of position-general radicals during handwritten word production.

Measuring Brain Activity in Dyslexia: Contributions to Training Evaluation, Prediction, and Identification of Underlying Neural Deficits
In an ongoing HMRF-funded study we apply two types of dyslexia trainings (meta-linguistic vs. working memory) and evaluate them at the behavioral and neural levels with EEG. The current proposal intends to add a waiting control group to the HMRF study design in order to better evaluate the behavioral gains of the programs, and at the same time investigate neurocognitive mechanisms of phonological deficits in Chinese dyslexia, as well as use powerful machine learning algorithms to predict dyslexia based on brain activity at rest and during a character processing task.

Effects of phonological overlap on Cantonese spoken word production
The proposed study aims to investigate the fundamental cognitive mechanisms underlying Cantonese speech production. Speech production is one of the most important tasks in people’s daily life. Unfolding the fundamental mechanisms underlying speech production will ultimately help to develop effective strategies for better speech production in second language learners or in children with specific language impairment (SLI). The proposed study will systematically compare the effects of phonological overlap on Cantonese spoken word production with various types of primes. Its findings will help to explain the mixed findings in the literature and refine the models of spoken word production.
