Sabrina Turker

Sabrina Turker is a Researcher affiliated with the Faculty of Life Sciences (Department of Behavioral and Cognitive Biology) and the Faculty of Psychology (Department of Cognition, Emotion, and Methods in Psychology). Her work bridges neuroscience and cognitive psychology, focusing on auditory processing, neuroplasticity, and language aptitude mechanisms.

• Research Areas: Neuroanatomical correlates of language acquisition, short-term potentiation, and working memory dynamics in auditory cortex.
• Key Techniques: Functional MRI and cognitive neuroscience methods to explore brain-language interactions.

Recent publications highlight adaptive plasticity in reading networks (2023) and neuroanatomical foundations of foreign language aptitude (2018). She organized the 2023 symposium on 'Musicality, Language Aptitude and the Brain', reflecting her interdisciplinary approach. Despite lacking explicit awards or student advising data, her 9 citations and 36 total Mendeley readers underscore her academic impact.
