Title: “Little Cheaters and How to Make Them Honest: The Origin of Academic Dishonesty in Childhood”

Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss briefly the history of cheating and the scientific research on cheating with a focus on academic cheating. Then I will present the recent discoveries made by my international team on cheating in early childhood, and will also discuss theoretical and practical issues.

Bio: Kang Lee is a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in moral development and neuroscience at Ontario Institute for Studies in Education.

He has published over 300 peer-reviewed papers that have been cited over 18,000 times with a H-index of 70 and i10-index of 258. His research has been funded by funding agencies such as NIH and NSF in the US, NSERC and SSHRC in Canada, and NSFC in China.
