Overview

Liina Pylkkänen is affiliated with New York University Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. Their research primarily spans the fields of neuroscience and psychology, with a particular focus on cognitive neuroscience and developmental and educational psychology.

The scientist's work extensively covers the neurobiology of language and bilingualism, encompassing 74 publications on this topic. They have also contributed significantly to reading and literacy development, neural and behavioral psychology studies, action observation and synchronization, neuroscience and music perception, language, metaphor, and cognition, as well as child and animal learning development.

Recent publications reflect a focus on language processing and neural mechanisms with papers including:

  • "Isolating syntax in natural language: MEG evidence for an early contribution of left posterior temporal cortex" (2020, Cortex)
  • "What we mean when we say semantic: Toward a multidisciplinary semantic glossary" (2024, Psychonomic Bulletin & Review)
  • "Left posterior temporal cortex is sensitive to syntax within conceptually matched Arabic expressions" (2021, Scientific Reports)
  • "Understanding Requires Tracking: Noise and Knowledge Interact in Bilingual Comprehension" (2020, Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience)
  • "Adaptation to mis-pronounced speech: evidence for a prefrontal-cortex repair mechanism" (2021, Scientific Reports)

Collaborations are frequent with several co-authors, each having multiple joint publications. Notable frequent co-authors include Graham Flick, David Poeppel, Julien Dirani, Jixing Li, and Esti Blanco-Elorrieta.

The scientist publishes commonly in venues such as bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory), Journal of Neuroscience, Neurobiology of Language, arXiv (Cornell University), and Scientific Reports. The highest number of contributions have appeared in bioRxiv, with 14 publications.

Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

Pursuing a degree in Psychology opens doors to various career pathways, especially in mental health services. Many students consider online degrees as a flexible option to advance their education and qualifications. However, becoming a licensed therapist involves more than just earning a degree—every location has specific requirements you need to follow.

For example, those interested in practicing in San Diego must meet the licensed therapist requirements in San Diego, which include completing a graduate program and passing specific exams. Meanwhile, if you’re planning to work in the Bay Area, be sure to review the licensed therapist requirements in San Francisco to understand the steps for licensure.

Similarly, the San Jose licensed therapist education requirements outline academic and clinical experience needs for future professionals. If you’re considering Santa Ana, you’ll want to explore exactly how to become a licensed therapist in Santa Ana. Each pathway highlights the importance of accredited programs and required hours of supervised practice.

Understanding these requirements will help you choose an online degree program that aligns with your career goals, whether you aim to work as a counselor, clinical psychologist, or in another capacity within mental health.
