Biography
Roy Luo is a doctoral student in Human Development in the Department of Educational Psychology, working with Dr. Edward Hubbard in the Educational Neuroscience Lab. His research investigates developmental changes in behavioral performance in executive functions and numerical cognition, and the brain-network mechanisms that support these abilities, with an emphasis on working memory and inhibitory control.
Education
B.S in Applied Psychology (Stream: Education and Development), The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen
Research Interests
Roy is interested in how developmental reorganization of executive functions brain networks affects academic outcomes, especially in mathematics. Behaviorally, he is interested in using finger/mouse/eye tracking to capture real-time decision dynamics; neurally, he employs fNIRS to examine longitudinal changes in large-scale network function underlying executive functions and numerical cognition.
