Loraine Katherine Obler (born July 12, 1948)[1] is an American linguist and neuroscientist, internationally recognized as a leading scholar in the field of neurolinguistics and multilingualism.[2][3] She is known for her contributions to understanding how language-related behavior is controlled within the brain. Her work spans diverse sub-disciplines such as the neurolinguistics of bilingualism,[4] language processing in aging and Alzheimer's disease,[5] and the cross-language study of aphasia.[6]
Obler is a Distinguished Professor at the CUNY Graduate Center where she holds appointments in Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, Linguistics, and Cognitive Neuroscience. [7][8]
