Neural and Cognitive Bases of Language Processing

Studying Cues in Sentence Production and Understanding for Aphasia

Recruiting
30-85 years
All
Phase N/A

This study investigates how different types of cues can help people with aphasia, a language disorder often caused by stroke, to produce and understand sentences better. Aphasia affects a person's ability to communicate, and this research aims to explore ways to improve this through various cues.

Participants will engage in non-invasive activities such as a detailed evaluation of aphasia, interactive language tasks on a computer, language games, and speaking while their eye movements are tracked. These activities are designed to be safe and informative for understanding language processing in aphasia.

  • Who can participate: Participants can be healthy older adults aged 60-85 with no history of neurological diseases, or individuals who have aphasia due to a stroke. All participants must be native English speakers with normal or corrected hearing and vision.
  • Study details: Participants will engage in various non-invasive tasks, including language evaluations and games. The study may use eyetracking, which involves following eye movements during tasks. Participants will be compensated for their involvement.
