Some individuals with acquired reading impairments (alexia) can read words in sentence contexts easier than in list format. It has been proposed that this may be due to relatively intact sentence production processes (Mitchum et al., 2005). In this project, we investigated this hypothesis in five...

Stewart, Ande, Haggerty, Anne, Miltenburg, Amanda, Boduch, Megan
Expiratory Muscle Strength Training (EMST), or exhaling against high resistance at the airway opening, is a procedure that requires high chest wall muscular effort. High expiratory effort practiced over time is thought to strengthen the neural control of these chest wall muscles as measured by...
