Neurocognitive Mechanisms of Sentence Production Impairment in Aphasia
PROJECT SUMMARY Post-stroke agrammatic aphasia (PSA-G) is characterized by a cluster of symptoms (fragmented sentences, errors in functional morphology, a dearth of verbs, and slow speech rate), yet extant theories and language interventions focus on individual symptoms. This single-symptom theoretical and intervention focus results in limited gains in functional communication. The long-term goal of this research is to improve the clinical effectiveness of interventions for PSA-G. As a first step towards this goal, this project’s objective is to advance the theoretical framework of PSA-G by addressing two critical gaps. The first gap is in the mechanistic understanding of how lexical,…
