  • Personal Website: 

Professor Kazandjian听joined 吃瓜tv's faculty in 2008 teaching courses in cognitive psychology, perception, clinical听neuropsychology, and neuroscience.听She听completed her doctorate in 2006 at the Neuropsychology subprogram at the听City University of New York听at Queens College. 听She is a licensed psychologist in New York and California, and registered as a psychologist in France, with an active practice in Paris.听

Dr. Kazandjian's听personal听experiences听with听moving between cultures (Armenian, Lebanese, American, and French) and locales has led to her clinical and research interests in bi/multilingualism, acculturation, and听transculturalism in cognition. Her early research focused on the role of acculturation among immigrants on neuropsychological test performance. Her postdoctoral work looked into the role of reading direction on visual perception. 听Recently, she launched the Multicultural Neuropsychology Lab at 吃瓜tv with the goal of learning from the international and multi-cultural community in听Paris and gaining greater insight in the role of culture on perception and cognition.听

Kazandjian is an active member of the English-speaking professional community in Paris. 听She is also a member of several professional neuropsychological organizations in France and the United States.
