Mkrtychian Nadezhda

Research interests

Nadezhda’s interests are focused in the area of general and educational psychology, psycholinguistics. At present, she is investigating the first language acquisition and is writing a PhD thesis “Psychological factors of concrete and abstract concepts acquisition in adults”. To use an interdisciplinary approach, Nadezhda studies and actively applies neuroimaging and neurostimulation research. Nadezhda belongs to a group of researchers who study concrete and abstract concepts acquisition using tDCS and EEG. 

 

In the Lab

She participates in the research paradigm development, conducting the experiments conducting, and statistical data analysis.
