Aphasia Research
We are conducting a study involving people with aphasia caused by TBI (traumatic brain injury) or CVA (cerebral vascular accident). We are interested in understanding, in particular, how different types of sentences are processed by people with different lesions and aphasia types. This study will help us gain insights into the building blocks of sentence structure and meaning, as well as the patterns of language disfunction in aphasia. This study is being conducted in our lab located at the Constance Lethbridge Rehabilitation Centre (CLRC), near Concordia's Loyola campus.
The tasks
We are running diverse tasks, mostly involving matching sentences to pictures. The study also involves the monitoring of eye movements by an eye tracker. A screening standardized test is administered before the main experiment.
Participants needed
We are recruiting participants with TBA or CVA but with normal (or corrected) vision.
The total time commitment is about 2 hours which can be divided into two sessions of 1 hour each, a week (or two) apart. We can run this study in our main lab (see links in this website), our lab at the CLRC, or we can come to your home (we will bring just one laptop computer). You will receive $20 as a token of our appreciation for your participation. This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee of the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation (CRIR).
If you are interested in participating, please contact us by phone (514-848-2424 ext. 2210) or email to Dr. Roberto G. de Almeida -- [email protected].
