Participating at our centre 

We are looking for teenagers/adults who are capable of reading Chinese to volunteer in our studies.  

About us

The experiments are run by teams of students and graduate research assistants who work under Professor Him Cheung from Psychology Department in the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Prof. Cheung has a doctorate degree in psychology from the University of Kansas.

What are the studies like?  
In the experiment, you will be asked to read some short stories on a computer screen. Then questions will be shown on the screen, followed by statements which may or may not answer the questions. Your task is to decide whether the sentences provided can explain what is being asked in the questions. 

What are the studies about? And what are they for? 
We are investigating adult’s belief-desire reasoning, in particular how people make sense out of others’ behavior. We shall explain the study in greater detail to each participant after the experiment is finished.  

How long do the studies take? 
Most of our studies involve only one 1-hour visit. We can schedule visits on weekdays or weekends, at your convenience. 

How do I participate? 
If you would be interested in participating in our studies, or if you would like to know more, please feel free to contact us or email us at cogdelab@psy.cuhk.edu.hk
