Our new Reconstructing Sentence Processing in Aphasia project started in March 2019.
This project develops and tests the effectiveness of a new sentence-level therapy for aphasia. It employs a usage-based Construction Grammar framework. We will develop a new computerized intervention for sentence difficulties in aphasia, and investigate if brain stimulation - tDCS (transcranial direct current stimulation) - boosts the results of the behavioural therapy.
The project is funded by the Stroke Association. The research team is multidisciplinary. The UCL team of Rosemary Varley, Jane Warren and Claudia Bruns (UCL Language & Cognition) are joined by Professor Ewa Dąbrowska (Birmingham / Erlangen-Nürnberg) and Dr Amir-Homayoun Javadi (Kent).
