Reference excerpt

Öget Öktem Tanör (born May 31, 1935) is the first neuropsychologist from Turkey. In 2017, she was charged with "terrorism propaganda" by the Turkish government for signing a petition calling on the government to halt its military operations in the Kurdish-populated areas of the country.

Career In a 2016 interview, Tanör stated that she had been interested in psychology and neurology since she was 15 years old. She said that she faced opposition from her family when she expressed a desire to study medicine; they put pressure on her to study law instead. According to her, experiences at Columbia Law School and Geneva University helped her turn to psychology. She completed her PhD in 1981, and began working in Ankara in 1983. Considered "Turkey's first neuropsychologist," Tanör founded Turkey's first neuropsychology clinic. Currently an emeritus professor at Istanbul University, Tanör has also been a guest lecturer at many other institutions. She has been described as one of Turkey's most respected scholars, while her students have referred to her as "a hard-working, colourful character [who] is tireless when it comes to teaching and sharing her knowledge and experiences."

Terrorism charges Tanör fled the country with her husband Bülent Tanör, a professor of law, during the military coup of 1971, but returned to the country to teach. She has been charged with "terrorism propaganda" by the government of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, as a result of signing a petition asking the government to halt its military operations in the Kurdish part of Turkey. She was also threatened with the loss of her pension. She is not permitted to travel abroad, and no longer has the rights she once did as a civil servant. Tanör was one of hundreds of academics, and of nearly 100,000 civil servants, who were purged following the 2016 Turkish coup d'état attempt. She has stated that her restrictions were part of a government effort to silence opposition, and has expressed disappointment at being unable to teach.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Öget Öktem Tanör

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Öget Öktem Tanör claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Öget Öktem Tanör before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Öget Öktem Tanör ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Öget Öktem Tanör

In research: Öget Öktem Tanör appears in biology research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Öget Öktem Tanör in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Öget Öktem Tanör is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1930s births, 1935 births, 20th-century Turkish medical doctors, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Öget Öktem Tanör outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
