Welcome to the Language, Culture, and Cognition Laboratory at NTNU

The Language, Culture and Cognition Laboratory (LCC Lab) is located in the Department of Chinese as a Second Language at National Taiwan Normal University, Taiwan. Research in LCC Lab investigates a number of research issues under the umbrella framework of human artifacts and cognition. We assume that human artifacts consist of everything that humans create and use habitually in their lives. These include physical artifacts, symbolic artifacts, and spiritual artifacts, and they are collectively called ‘cultures’. We are interested in investigating how the human cognitive system interacts with the artifacts it creates and how it may be affected by them. The investigations encompass both theoretical and applied issues. The theoretical issues are concerned with the questions of how much of the cognitive system can be considered universal and how much of it can be flexible and diverse, and vary in different artifactual environments. The applied issues are concerned with the question of how we can design and redesign artifacts to make them more agreeable with the processing characteristics of the cognitive system.
