Guo, Fangfang
- Email: guoff3@mail2.sysu.edu.cn
A master student in Applied Psychology (class of 2021). I love children and yearn for nature. My research interests are:(1) Intervention for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder(ASD), such as on Joint Attention Intervention; (2) the Acceptability and Feasibility of Parent-Mediated Intervention for ASD; (3) Core Deficits and Their Potential Cognitive Mechanisms in children with ASD. I plan to systematically study ASD and applied behavior analysis in my master program, hoping to further explore the mechanism of deficits of ASD and explore more effective and practical interventions in order to help people in need.Click for CV
Jiang, Yingying
- Email: jiangyy39@mail2.sysu.edu.cn
The research topics that I’m interested in are the mental-mechanism differences between children’s learning mental abacus calculation (MAC) and learning formal mathematical skills; whether MAC learning has positive effect on individual’s ability of mapping symbolic and non-symbolic representations; and whether MAC is an effective intervention for individuals with ADHD. I am also interested in what role gesture plays in the process of math learning and its relevant cognitive mechanisms and the real link between one of the innate non-verbal numerical cognition (i.e., the approximate number system (ANS)) and children’s later math learning. Come and join us!

A master student in Applied Psychology (class of 2022). I’m a quite sunny and extroverted person. My research interest is behavioral assessment and intervention for children with autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) based on applied behavioral analysis. I hope I can apply what I have learned to help more people in need.
Liu, Meiying

A master student in applied psychology. I am an optimistic and outgoing girl from Sichuan province, who likes to get along with children and is full of curiosity and patience with the world. My current research interest is in the evaluation and intervention of children with neuro- developmental disorders, especially those with autism spectrum disorders. Children with autism are called “children from the stars”. I hope I can be the one who can read the stars. Hope to meet like-minded friends and do research together!

2019级学硕。本科期间就读于市场营销专业。2013年至2018年在金宝贝国际早教工作，主要负责早教中心的管理及运营。选择跨入心理学是因为过去几年的工作中跟0-3岁孩子接触很多，激发了我对发展心理学的兴趣。非常渴望从这门学科中探索更多儿童成长的奥秘，也希望在BCD lad与伙伴们共同学习和探讨儿童研究的心理学方法。
Liu, Qin
- Email: liuq258@mail2.sysu.edu.cn
My name is Liu Qin. I am a master student in psychology, class of 2023. The topic I am focusing on is the cognitive development of children, especially the development and cognitive mechanisms of mathematical ability in early childhood. I would like to continue to do research on children’s cognitive development during my graduate study and expand into the field of cognitive neuroscience. I am doing two research in the field of mathematical development. One mainly uses behavior method to study the number cognitive development among infants, that is, the development trend of number differentiation ability with age; another study looks at the numerical abilities of high-functioning autistic children, and how they are different and similar to typically developing children. The study of symbolic and non-symbolic quantitative representation is a major focus in the field of mathematics. Although the fraction is a major difficulty in education, it has received little attention. I am deeply interested in the relationship between the non-symbolization of fractions and symbolized knowledge and I am working on a related review recently.
Ma, Yimei

Ma is a master student in psychology, holds a bachelor’s degree in English, and is now working in BCD lab. She is interested in origins and development of concept and reasoning of human beings. Her recent work uses behavioral methods to probe pre-school children’s knowledge of natural number, especially numerical symbols and ordinality. Ma dedicates herself to better teaching and learning, and is now researching and developing mathematical textbook for preschool children.

Wang, Xuqing
- Email: wangxuqing139@163.com
A master student in Applied Psychology, class of in 2022。I got my Bachelor in Materials Science and Engineering，but got deeply attracted by the inherent power of Psychology. My research interests ：
- The development of children’s cognitive abilities such as mathematics, logic and thinking；
- The influence of family educational concepts and methods on children’s mathematics learning；
- The difference in mathematics cognition between normal children and autistic children. I want to get engaged in children’s mathematics teaching and curriculum development in the future， so I am very happy to explore the mystery of children’s number cognitive development together with my partners in BCD lab.

I am a master student in Applied Psychology, class of 2022. I enjoy getting along with children and have hope and goodwill towards the world and others. During my undergraduate years, I explored my interest in psychology, and now I am more interested in behavioral intervention for individuals with autism spectrum disorder. I will mainly study and explore the rehabilitation education methods for children with autism spectrum disorder in my master years and plan to devote myself to the special children education in the future.
Zhang, Wanting

I’m an undergraduate and ready to be a graduate student in 2020. My current project is about the cognitive development of fractions, focusing on the representation of symbolic and non-symbolic fractions. Main research interests include numerical cognition, learning, and mathematics education (including strengthening conceptual understanding and interest cultivation).
Zhou, Ling
- Email: zhouling000@foxmail.com
My master program started in 2019. I’m optimistic and cheerful, kind and generous. Research interests: the cognitive and brain mechanisms of mathematical development; the effects of the representation and processing of integer/fraction quantity information on mathematical development; and the factors of mathematical learning difficulties. In the future, I hope to explore people’s number cognition further, and promote the mathematical education.
