Yinbo Wu, of Hangzhou, China, a psychology student at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. Yinbo is examining the relationship between parenting, attention, and working memory in young children. This study explores how parenting quality and attention are associated with verbal and spatial working memory in children 3 years, 6 months to 4 years, 6 months of age. The findings will clarify the roles of parenting and attention in working memory development in early childhood. The findings could help determine whether working memory interventions that incorporate attention training and parenting interventions will result in working memory improvement.
Her faculty mentor is Dr. Anne Schutte.
Yinbo presented her research findings at an online symposium on May 19, 2020.
