We are working to better understand how aphasia affects one\u2019s ability to produce and comprehend words and sentences. We also develop novel treatment approaches to improve sentence production in persons with aphasia. We use a variety of methods to conduct research, including: <\/p>\n
If you had a stroke and<\/strong> have a current diagnosis of aphasia, you may be eligible for our research! We have a variety of research studies available in our lab in which to participate. For all studies, please call 765-496-0216 or email: aphasia@purdue.edu<\/a> for more information. <\/p>\n -Recruitment for the 5-year, NIH-funded clinical training study is ongoing. To participate and to determine eligibility, a phone screening and comprehensive language testing will be completed. View the training study flyer here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Watch our Recruitment Video<\/a> <\/p>\n-Recruitment is open for a Language Treatment Study. Our lab is conducting their research at our Purdue (West Lafayette) campus, our Indianapolis satellite lab location AND virtual options are available. <\/p>\n\t If you are a healthy adult, between 21 and 80 years old, and would like to participate in research, please send an email to: aphasia@purdue.edu<\/a>. <\/p>\n You are invited to participate in our research if you are:<\/p>\n Before determining eligibility for one of our research studies, we conduct screening procedures for each potential participant.<\/p>\n\t\t\tHow can I get involved?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t If\u00a0you would like to learn more or are interested in participating in our studies, please call (765-496-0216) or e-mail us (aphasia@purdue.edu<\/a>).\u00a0\u00a0We will answer any questions and\/or set up an appointment (in person or virtual).<\/p>\n\t\t\tWhat will I do during the study?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t For participants without aphasia, we will administer a cognitive-language screening to determine if you meet the eligibility requirements to be part of the control group. If eligible, you will then be given the exact instructions for the study. All research tasks are non-invasive. <\/p>\n For participants with aphasia, we will first provide a comprehensive language evaluation. Depending on the results of this evaluation, your eligibility will be determined.<\/p>\n\t\t\tWhat are the benefits of participating?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t Although there may not be direct benefits to participants, taking part in our research assists clinicians and researchers in better understanding communication difficulties in individuals with aphasia. Our goal is to develop novel treatment approaches for people with aphasia. If you participate in our studies, you may directly assist in providing information regarding these approaches. <\/p>\n\t\t\tDo I get compensated for participation?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t Yes, eligible participants will be compensated for our studies. Each study’s criteria and payment may be different. <\/p>\n\t\t\tIs participating in research uncomfortable?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t The level of risk is minimal, meaning no more than you might encounter in everyday life. Because each session takes approximately 2 hours, some participants may feel tired at the end of the session.<\/p>\n\t\t\tWhat should I bring to the session?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\tFor participants with aphasia: at or immediately after the first language testing session, a copy of relevant medical records is requested (ex: MRI report, neurologist or Speech-Language Pathologist report). This is to help the researchers in identifying the location of your stroke and to assist with verifying your diagnosis of aphasia.
