Activity Steps

Description

Note: ASHA CEUs cannot be reported to ASHA unless your ASHA member number is included in your profile.

The ability to learn is a key factor in aphasia rehabilitation. Findings from previous research on new word leaning show that it varies significantly in people with aphasia (PWA) with some learning only receptively and others showing expressive word learning as well. The authors' study explores how the structural integrity of the dorsal language pathway is related to receptive versus expressive new word learning success and to stimulate the word learning system in PWA through intensive new word learning practice.
