Reading impairment, known as alexia, frequently co-occurs with damage to the language areas of the brain in aphasia. Text-based reading treatments have been shown to improve reading fluency, but the mechanisms behind such improvement remain unclear. This study investigates the efficacy of...

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)....

Pairing Reading Treatment with Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation for Adults with Aphasia
DownloadSpring 2020
Background. Damage to language areas of the brain often leads to a language disorder called aphasia, which impairs speech, writing, and understanding. Sixty-eight per cent of people with aphasia (PWA) also present with alexia, a reading impairment. There is an urgent need for efficacious...
