Hi !

　　I am a masters student studying the basic process that govern complex human abilities like cognition and language. Based on ""Relational Frame Theory"" , my work focuses on finding the variables that control the transfer of stimulus functions. Ultimately, my goal is to bridge the gap between this basic research and its application and to develop methods of functional assessment and intervention of complex human problems such as depression and anxiety.
