Our primary focus in the lab is on understanding the cognitive and neural bases of conceptual knowledge (a.k.a. semantic memory).
The Yee Lab is part of the Department of Psychological Sciences' Language and Cognition program which is welcoming applications from prospective PhD students for Fall 2025! Learn more.
We also invite all underrepresented students (and former students) who are considering pursuing a PhD in Psychological Sciences, Cognitive Science, Speech and Hearing Sciences, Educational Psychology or Linguistics to check out the MAGIC program! Its mission is to connect underrepresented and first-generation students with mentors who can empower them with the tools to succeed in their graduate school applications and beyond.
