Dr. Sabrina Burr is a Lecturer in Psychology at the University of Sheffield's School of Psychology. She is part of the Sheffield Cognitive Development Research Group and holds an affiliation with the Interdisciplinary Centre of the Social Sciences (ICOSS). Her research focuses on cognitive development, particularly children's numerical and mathematical cognition, and the neural and behavioral factors influencing mathematics achievement. She also investigates ADHD symptom trajectories and academic performance in adolescents.
Dr. Burr holds a PhD in Cognitive Science from Carleton University (Canada), an MSc and EdS in Counselling and Human Systems from Florida State University (USA), and a BA in Psychology from Western University (Canada). She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of British Columbia, studying neural networks in infants using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS).
Her research interests include cognitive development mechanisms in numerical cognition, neurodevelopmental correlates of early cognitive processes, and cross-cultural studies of mathematical learning. She has contributed to understanding how ADHD symptoms and anxiety impact academic outcomes and employs advanced neuroimaging techniques to explore infant neural development.
Dr. Burr co-supervises PhD student Rosemary Wareham-O’Brien in investigating deaf infant communication dynamics. She collaborates with interdisciplinary teams like the Gates Foundation fNIRS Consortium and actively participates in educational psychology initiatives through ICOSS.
