Frequent collaborators of Yee Lee Shing have included:

  • Laurel Raffington
  • Christine Heim
  • Javier Ortiz-Tudela
  • Iryna Schommartz
  • Courtney McKay

Their research has explored developmental aspects of memory and cognitive control, including how prior knowledge, age, and schooling affect learning processes and memory systems. Techniques used in some studies include hair cortisol measurement correlating with brain anatomy, and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) for investigating inhibitory control.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Exploring a career in psychology opens doors to many rewarding online degrees and specialized pathways. Fields such as counseling and therapy are popular choices, offering roles like Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT). MFTs help individuals and families navigate life’s challenges, making a meaningful difference in their communities.

Requirements for becoming an MFT can vary by location. For example, specific mft requirements in Norfolk may differ from mft requirements in North Las Vegas or how to become an mft in Oakland. Typically, you’ll need a graduate degree in psychology or counseling, supervised clinical experience, and a state-issued license.

As you consider this pathway, researching state-specific criteria is essential. For instance, mft requirements in Oklahoma City highlight unique local regulations and exam processes. Flexible online degrees can help you meet these standards, allowing you to balance study with personal and professional commitments.
