Yetta Kwailing Wong

Dr. Yetta Kwailing Wong is a Lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Surrey's Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences. She directs the Learning and Perception Lab, which investigates perceptual expertise development and translates cognitive science insights into educational practice.

Research examines expert-novice differences in musical notation recognition, absolute pitch acquisition, visual word recognition, and dyslexia interventions. Her work employs behavioral measurements, EEG, fMRI, and eye-tracking to study visual expertise development and its educational applications.

Current projects investigate absolute pitch learning in adulthood, neural mechanisms of musical notation recognition, developmental dyslexia, and sight-reading skill acquisition. The lab develops practical tools like the Readers' Adventure mobile application for Chinese children with dyslexia.
