Introduction / 簡介
I am interested in the psychological and neurobiological development of social emotion, meaning-making and self-awareness, and connections to thinking and learning in formal and informal educational settings. I use interdisciplinary studies of narratives and feelings to uncover experience-dependent neuropsychological mechanisms that integrate cognition and emotion, contributing to intellectual identity, intrinsic motivation, deep learning, and generative, creative, ethical and abstract thought. My work has a special focus on civic development of diverse adolescents from under-resourced communities, whom I additionally involve in my work as junior scientists. My current studies also examine relations among effective urban secondary teachers’ neuropsychosocial capacities, professional orientations, and developmental knowledge. My research and writings contribute to founding the new field of Mind, Brain and Education

Prof Immordino-Yang對社會情感、意義產製、自覺的精神及神經生理發展，及思考、學習與教育環境的關聯抱有興趣。她透過敘事及感受的跨領域研究，掲露經驗依賴之神經心理機制，此機制不僅整合認知及情緒，更協助建構智力認同、內在動機、深度學習、生成創意、道德及抽象概念。
她的研究更特別聚焦在資源貧乏社區中的青少年的公民發展，她目前的研究追索城巿國高中老師的神經心理社會能力、專業方向、發展知識的相互關係。她的研究及發表有助於心智、大腦及教育領域的新發展。
