A primary goal of my research is to understand the development of social cognition. My current research is specifically focused on the interplay between theory of mind and decision making as well as the developmental changes in these processes. Through this line of research, we aim to elucidate the role of the developing theory of mind in human decision making process and hopefully contribute to a better understanding of the development of social minds.

My research aims to understand individual differences in cognition and its development. One line of my research focuses on the relationship between endogenous hormone and cognition, and another line focuses on the changes of cognitive ability (e.g., attention, memory, cognitive control) in different individual growth stages. In my current research, I use behavioral and neuroscience methods to study the effect of puberty, menstrual cycle, and menopause on changes of cognition.
