HUI Chi Kin
 I am an MA research student at the Department of English, Linguistics, and Theatre Studies under the NUS Research Scholarship. I received my BA in English at City University of Hong Kong with Cum laude. I developed an interest in real-time sentence processing by non-native English learners. Specifically, I am interested in investigating the role of working memory in the predictive processing of complex syntactic structures and how individual differences in the working memory capacity influence differences in predictive processing strategies. I am also interested in how individual differences in working memory capacity correlate with accuracy rates in comprehending complex syntactic structures. |
