Hi, I am Gakyung Kim, from South Korea. : )
Currently, I am a staff scientist at the Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at Seoul National University, under the guidance of Dr. Sang Ah Lee. I obtained my M.S. degree in Brain and Cognitive Sciences from Seoul National University, where I was mentored by Dr. Jiook Cha. Additionally, I hold a B.A. in both Educational Technology and Psychology, and graduated with Summa Cum Laude honors and Departmental First-Class Honors.
I aspire to study social cognitive science motivated by the following questions:
How do we learn from and about others?
How do we choose our partners for collaboration and learning?
How do we adjust our social-cognitive strategies to different contexts?
Research Interests: 🙂Social & Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience🙂
(1) Social Cognition: Inferential Social Learning, Social Motivation, Social Decision-Making, Collaborative Learning
(2) Child Development: Cognitive Development, Child Development, Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD)
(3) Computational Approach
Things I like: coffee☕, highball🥃, desserts🍰, OOHYO-Dandelion🎵, window shopping in fancy stores🎄, reading books📚 ( here's my bookstagram; Korean ), and swimming🏊 ( 6 am every morning I swim! )
Personality: outgoing, collaborative, look out for the magic and meaning in everyday life
