| Abstract: |
| To explore whether helping children and older adults build a coherent theory of colds/flu will help them reason more deeply and sensibly about cold/flu risks and practice more effective prevention, thereby reducing the number of cold/flu episodes; to address a fundamental issue in conceptual change: Can an entreched belief system (e.g., folkbiology of infection) coexist with a new one (e.g., microbiology of infection)? Or does the old resist the new? If so, does the degree of entrechment matter? To find out whether helping learners build a coherent theory of infection is better than asking learners to memorize a list of dos and don'ts--not only in reasoning about the colds/flu risks in everyday life situations, but also in terms of actual colds/flu prevention behaviors and health outcomes. |

| Department: | Psychology |
| Source(s) of Funding: | Research Initiation Programme |
| Start Date: | 02/2002 |

| Abstract: |
| The project investigates the relationship between 'local phase' descriptions of natural images and known properties of cortical neurones. It attempts to understand the statistical constraints of the input (natural images), the computational strategies of the process (to capitalise on redundancy particular to natural images), and the goals of the output (to make implicit structure explicit). |

| Abstract: |
| To use age-of-acquisition effects (AoA effects) to investigate how cognitive and neural systems for Chinese language processing are developed. Two important theories that will be tested are the phonological completeness hypothesis and the arbitrary mapping hypothesis. Specially: By examing reading the picture naming in Chinese and comparing the results from Chinese reading with those reported previously from English reading, we will be able to discover how quality representations of lexical items are shaped with learning and practice. The effect of AoA will be further examined by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). In particular, identifying the areas that are activated and comparing them with previous research on semantic processing should allow us to evaluate the contribution of AoA to cortical localization of language processing. |
