Overview

Brendan S. Weekes is affiliated with the University of Hong Kong in China and has contributed extensively to research in psychology and neuroscience, with a particular focus on cognitive neuroscience and developmental and educational psychology. Their body of work spans multiple related subfields including experimental and cognitive psychology, psychiatry and mental health, and general health professions.

Their research primarily addresses topics such as the neurobiology of language and bilingualism, reading and literacy development, language development and disorders, and dementia and cognitive impairment research. Additional areas of focus include categorization, perception, and language, second language acquisition and learning, as well as interpreting and communication in healthcare.

Brendan S. Weekes has authored several papers, including:

  • Task-specific bilingual effects in Mandarin-English speaking high school students in China (2022, Current Research in Behavioral Sciences)
  • Graded bilingual effects on attentional network function in Chinese high school students (2022, Bilingualism Language and Cognition)
  • Aphasia in Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias (ADOD): Evidence From Chinese (2020, American Journal of Alzheimer s Disease & Other Dementias®)
  • AI and Aphasia in the Digital Age: A Critical Review (2024, Brain Sciences)
  • Picture naming in bilingual and monolingual Chinese speakers: Capturing similarity and variability (2021, Behavior Research Methods)

The most frequent publication venues for their work include:

  • American Journal of Alzheimer s Disease & Other Dementias®
  • Bilingualism Language and Cognition
  • Letrônica
  • Current Research in Behavioral Sciences

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring online psychology degrees opens doors to a range of rewarding careers in counseling and mental health. Many students consider becoming Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), but it’s crucial to understand that licensure requirements differ by state.

For example, if you’re interested in becoming an LPC in Alaska, you’ll need to review the specific steps for how to get an lpc license in Alaska. The process includes education, examination, and supervised experience. Similarly, those planning to practice in Arizona should be aware of the Arizona lpc licensure requirements, which may vary slightly in coursework or clinical hours required.

If Arkansas is your destination, check the Arkansas lpc licensure requirements to ensure your online degree program meets state standards. In California, the steps for how to get an lpc license in California involve unique educational and supervised practice criteria.

Always confirm with your state licensing board before enrolling. The right online degree, tailored to licensure requirements, paves the way for a meaningful counseling career in your chosen state.
