Department of Psychology – Teoh Yee San

Teoh Yee San
I left my home country of Malaysia to pursue my undergraduate and graduate studies in the United Kingdom, with a clear goal of pursuing Developmental Psychology. I had always been fascinated with the complexity and the many unknowns of human development, in addition to my diverse experiences of working with children. I forged a strong interest in research while collecting data for my undergraduate advisor at the University of Durham. My great fortune of meeting my doctoral advisor, Michael Lamb, at the University of Cambridge in the U.K. further deepened my interest and determination in doing research on children in the justice system.

I then left the U.K to pursue a post-doctoral fellowship at Brooklyn College, CUNY, where I also taught child development as an adjunct assistant professor. In our search for faculty positions, my Taiwanese husband and I were concerned about the slim chances of working in the same university, but we were very fortunate to do so here at National Taiwan University.

I specialize in Forensic Developmental Psychology, an inter-disciplinary field that applies theory and research in developmental psychology to criminal justice issues. My research aims to identify the best ways of accessing children and youths’ autobiographical and eyewitness memory and maximizing the value of the information they provide. I teach a wide range of courses including General Psychology, Forensic Developmental Psychology, and Family Psychology. Being able to teach and do research with the brilliant students here at NTU makes my time here really worthwhile.
