About

I am Chi-Lin Yu, a Developmental Psychologist, Cognitive Neuroscientist, and Methodologist from Taiwan. My research interest focuses on young children’s acquisition, learning, and development of social-cognitive understanding, studied via behavioral experiments, neuroimaging, psychometrics/statistics/data science, and computational modeling. Specific topics include the underlying mechanism of theory of mind, the development of theory of mind, and how theory of mind varies across different social-cultural contexts and diverse samples (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity, social classes, cultures, and neurodiversity).

I received my B.S. in Psychology from National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) and my M.S. in Psychology from National Taiwan University (NTU). I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Developmental Psychology program at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor (U of M).

     Doing research lights up much of my brain — which doesn’t require an fMRI to know that.
