Research summary

Yu-Chin Chiu studies cognitive control and mental flexibility, focusing on how people switch between tasks, maintain or adjust behavioral rules, and how memory and reward influence these processes. The work combines behavioral experiments with some cognitive neuroscience methods (e.g., brain imaging measures of attention and memory) to understand the mechanisms underlying task-switching and cognitive flexibility. Some recent work also touches on applied topics like nurses' cognitive load during the COVID-19 pandemic and clinical decision support systems.
