Conversations in Aphasia: How Do We Communicate Without Language - Willemijn Doedens

Summary

Aphasia impairs language but not necessarily communication. My research explores how people with aphasia use nonverbal cues, interaction with conversation partners, and contextual support to communicate effectively despite limited language skills. By testing these elements in the lab, the work aims to improve therapy methods and real-world communication outcomes for people with aphasia.
