Identification of Affective State Change in Adults With Aphasia Using Speech Acoustics

Running head: ACCENT IDENTIFICATION BY ADULTS WITH APHASIA Accent identification by adults with aphasia

The UK is a diverse society where individuals regularly interact with speakers with different accents. Whilst there is a growing body of research on the impact of speaker accent on comprehension in people with aphasia, there is none which explores their ability to identify accents. This study investigated the ability of this group to identify the geographical origins of a speaker. Age-matched p...

Epg Study of Lingual Errors in Adults with Acquired Aphasia: Implications for Models of Speech Production

For a model of speech production to be comprehensive it must be able to account for both disordered and normal speech. The study of disordered speech often relies on perceptual judgements which are not always accurate enough representations of the speech process for such models. Perceptual judgements often encourage categorical decisions such as alveolar versus velar plosive which may not refle...

Hypoconnectivity of Resting-State Networks in Persons with Aphasia Compared with Healthy Age-Matched Adults

Aphasia is a language disorder affecting more than one million people in the US. While language function has traditionally been the focus of neuroimaging research, other cognitive functions are affected in this population, which has implications not only for those specific processes but also for the interaction of language and other cognitive functions. Resting state fMRI (rs-fMRI) is a practic...
