Her doctoral research examined how different forms of memory and attention relate to language outcomes in people with aphasia, using resting-state fMRI. As a postdoctoral researcher, she aims to investigate the effectiveness of interventions for improving word retrieval in individuals with aphasia, as well as strategies for implementing evidence-based practices in clinical settings to enhance functional communication. She is also involved in a study exploring whether cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), combined with speech-language therapy, can support word retrieval in aphasia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Research Interests<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The role of cognitive skills, such as attention and working memory, in the language abilities of people and with aphasia and neurologically intact older adults<\/li>\n<li>The development and assessment of semantically based language treatments for aphasia<\/li>\n<li>Translating evidence-based language research into clinically relevant interventions that improve functional communication outcomes in people with aphasia -The role of multilingualism in the assessment and treatment of aphasia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"bu_collapsible_container \" aria-live=\"polite\" data-customize-animation=\"false\"><h4 class=\"bu_collapsible\" aria-expanded=\"false\"tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\">Conference Presentations<\/h4><div class=\"bu_collapsible_section\" style=\"display: none;\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Posters<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Serrichio, A.C<\/strong>, &amp; Sandberg, C.W.
