Understanding science of learning can bring a huge impact on education. Our research team aims to generate insights into learning and translate them into real-world educational practice.

We study the difference between experts and novices, the trajectory of turning novices to experts, and investigate methods for enhancing learning efficiency. By preparing and enhancing our perceptual and cognitive systems, students with various learning needs can benefit much more from their educational experience.

Our recent projects include (1) development of visual word recognition and dyslexia, (2) development of perceptual and cognitive skills of individuals with additional needs, and (3) development of musical skills, including musical note recognition, absolute pitch, sight reading and practised performance.
