Brian Kim - Psychology

Brian Kim

For Brian Kim, a master’s student in Psychology at the University of À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµ, the path to graduate research began with a deep curiosity about how we remember. That interest took root during his undergraduate degree—also at À¶Ý®ÊÓÆµâ€”when he worked as a research assistant in Dr. Myra Fernandes’ Cognitive Neuroscience of Memory and Language lab and later completed his honours thesis on memory under her supervision.  

Now in graduate school, Brian has co-authored a published paper exploring how different memory strategies impact vocabulary retention in second language learning.

It’s about matching the learning method to the kind of memory task—whether it’s writing, speaking, or listening.
