Ilke

BIOSKETCH

Ilke grew up in Istanbul Turkey. Upon receiving her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Ilke embarked on her graduate studies at the Cognition & Perception program of New York University’s Department of Psychology and completed her postdoctoral training at the Department of Cognitive and Linguistic Sciences at Brown University. Ilke is an Experimental Psychologist and Cognitive Neuroscientist who studies the cognitive and neural mechanisms that support human memory and executive function, with particular focus on working memory, cognitive control and focus of attention. Her research utilizes computational modeling and neuroimaging methods to investigate these topics in healthy adults, in aging, and during typical and atypical development, as well as individual differences in capacity and processing efficiency in these domains.
