Research/Clinical Activities

Most recent research has focused on production of verb inflections in individuals with agrammatic aphasia. Current research projects include:
  • neuroimaging of morph/syn processing
  • an investigation of verb form anomalies in aphasia,
  • a treatment efficacy study of verb inflection deficits in aphasia, and
  • lexical decision of morphologically complex words
