Xiao Pan Ding is an Associate Professor at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and serves as the Director of Graduate Studies. Their research explores moral behavior development in children, focusing on honesty and dishonesty, using behavioral, computational, and cognitive neuroscience methods. Affiliated with the Child Development Lab, they employ experimental designs, standardized measures, computerized facial emotion analysis, and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) to decode social, cognitive, and neural mechanisms.
Education:
- Ph.D. from East China Normal University
- M.Ed. from Zhejiang University
- B.S. from Zhejiang University
Research Themes: Dr. Ding’s work bridges developmental psychology and cognitive neuroscience, emphasizing how children navigate truthfulness and deceit. Their methods integrate meta-analytic reviews (e.g., theory of mind, executive function), longitudinal studies (e.g., parental influence), and advanced neuroimaging (fNIRS) in naturalistic settings.
Labs and Teams: The Child Development Lab hosts interdisciplinary studies combining behavioral, computational, and neural approaches to map moral development trajectories in early childhood.
