- Original description
The proposed research is relevant to public health because stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability among older adults and communication impairments resulting from stroke have a significant negative impact on quality of life. By seeking to better understand post-stroke aphasia, this project lays the groundwork for development of new interventions, and aligns with NIDCD's priority areas 1 (understanding normal function), 2 (understanding diseases), and 3 (improving diagnosis, treatment, and prevention).Read full original descriptionShow less
Neurocognitive Mechanisms of Sentence Production Impairment in Aphasia
The proposed research is relevant to public health because stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability among older adults and communication impairments resulting from stroke have a significant negative impact on quality of life. By seeking to better understand post-stroke aphasia, this project lays the groundwork for development of new interventions, and aligns with NIDCD's priority areas 1 (understanding normal function), 2 (understanding diseases), and 3 (improving diagnosis, treatment, and prevention).
Inclusion: At least 18 years of age; Persons with acquired aphasia are defined as those with a language impairment following left hemisphere brain injury (most likely a stroke); Neurotypical adults need to be either young (ages 18-30 years) or older (> 60 years); Native (or primary) speakers of English.
Exclusion: Prior neurological or psychiatric diagnoses or developmental disabilities before the onset of aphasia; do not speak English fluently.
