This study investigates how well people can understand the speech of individuals with aphasia compared to those without the condition. Aphasia affects a person's ability to communicate, leading to fluent but nonsensical speech or non-fluent speech that is hard to comprehend. The study aims to explore these differences in speech patterns and their impact on listeners.
Participants will listen to speech samples from individuals with and without aphasia. They will then be asked to assess the clarity and understanding of the messages conveyed. The study will help determine how aphasia affects communication from the listener's perspective.
- Who can participate: Participants must be between 18 and 35 years old, speak only American English, and have normal hearing. People who are bilingual or do not pass a hearing test cannot participate.
- Study details: Participants will listen to various speech samples and provide feedback on their understanding. The study does not involve any treatment or medication.
