You are cordially invited to participate in the project conducted by Dr. Zhang Caicai, who is Assistant Professor at the Department of Chinese and Bilingual Studies in The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU). Suitable children will be invited to participate in (1) a comprehensive behavioral battery of language, memory, and other cognitive tasks to examine the contribution of procedural and declarative learning and memory retention to various components of speech, language, and reading, and (2) structural MRI and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) studies to examine the neuroanatomical markers of typical and atypical language development. The behavioral battery of tasks will take approximately 3-4 days, and the structural MRI and DTI studies will take approximately 0.5 hour.
