Integrating complementary learning principles in aphasia rehabilitation via adaptive modeling
Aphasia is a language disorder commonly caused by stroke and other acquired brain injuries that affects over two million people in the US and has a large negative effect on quality of life. Anomia (i.e., word-finding difficulty) is a primary frustration for people with aphasia, and naming treatments for anomia are both widely researched and commonly used in clinical practice.
