Machine learning predictions of recovery in bilingual post-stroke aphasia: Aligning insights with clinical evidence
Authors: Manuel Marte, Erin Carpenter, Michael Scimeca, Marissa Russell-Meill, Claudia Peñaloza, Uli Grasemann, Risto Miikkulainen, and Swathi Kiran, Accepted in the Journal Stroke Q&A with Manuel Marte What is this paper about? The paper examines how well machine learning models can predict language recovery outcomes in bilingual stroke survivors with aphasia. The study analyzed data […]

Authors: Shalom K Henderson, Siddharth Ramanan, Matthew A Rouse, Thomas E Cope, Ajay D Halai, Karalyn E Patterson, James B Rowe, Matthew A Lambon Ralph. Q&A with Shalom Henderson What is this paper about? Even though the absence of object knowledge loss/semantic representation deficits constitutes ancillary diagnostic criteria for the logopenic variant of primary progressive […]

From the Annual Review of Linguistics, Charting the Course of Aphasia
Authors: Manuel Jose Marte, Marissa Russell-Meill, Nicole Carvalho, and Swathi Kiran Figure 1. Brain regions involved in various language tasks. Colors indicate specific tasks associated with each region. The medial frontal gyrus (red) is involved in working memory. The pars triangularis (magenta), pars opercularis (yellow), and pars orbitalis (tan) are involved in speech, language production, […]

Semantic processing in bilingual people with aphasia: An eye-tracking study examining cross-language semantic facilitation and interference.
About the Author: Sophie Blankenheim conducted her master’s thesis on this work under the supervision of Maria Varkanitsa Summary Bilingual lexical processing involves simultaneous activation of both languages, with encountering a word in one language priming the equivalent word in the other. Previous research on healthy individuals has shown that naming responses are slowed down […]

Evolution of word production errors after typicality-based semantic naming treatment in individuals with aphasia
Authors: Ran Li, Natalie Gilmore, Mia O’Connell, Swathi Kiran Q&A with Ran Li What is this paper about and why are the results important? This study implemented an error coding scale to assess changes in word production errors following a semantic-based naming therapy in individuals with chronic aphasia. It provides insights into the linguistic mechanisms that […]
