Investigating Lesion Size and Neuroimaging Methods with Magnetic Resonance Imaging in People With Aphasia
Download2013-06-28
Brown, Meara, Massar, Abbey, Filion, Lisa, Keith, Margaux
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of lesion size on performance on various cognitive and linguistic tasks in three individuals with left-hemisphere stroke. Findings from previous research studies have indicated mixed results, with some studies arguing that the location of the...

Neurophysiological mechanisms of reading in alexia: Development of stimuli to examine semantic integration using the N400 response

Donnelly, Megan, Kinsman, Melissa, Kim, Esther, Cummine, Jacqueline
In order for speech-language pathologists to improve therapy for acquired reading impairments, it is necessary to gain a better understanding of how sentences are processed during reading. Neural mechanisms underlying reading processes can be examined by using event-related potentials (ERPs)....

Sumner, Andrea, Stongman, Tracy
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...

Bittman, Caitlin, McAvoy, Rielle, Forest, Elissa, Duncan, Alicia
Background: In aphasia therapy, there has been a shift in focus from impairment-level intervention towards ones focusing on enhancing life participation. Within Canada and the United States there exist several weekend camps that provide examples of participation-level interventions for people...

Using Pupillometry to Measure Cognitive Effort During a Task of Inhibition in People with Aphasia
Download2017-05-10
Hartman, Bethany, Reid, Jenny-Lynn, Kim, Esther
Background: Aphasia is a communication disorder resulting from stroke, characterized by difficulty speaking, listening, reading and writing. Recent evidence suggests that persons with aphasia (PWA) can exhibit impairments in cognition, such as inhibition. Inhibition is the ability to suppress...
