About

My research focuses on examining the intricate relationship between attention, memory functions, and linguistic processing and production in individuals with post-stroke aphasia.

The issue is interesting for several reasons. On the one hand, it is established that specific linguistic structures guide the attention of neurotypical listeners toward particular aspects of the intended content. Therefore, the question arises whether the same holds true for post-stroke aphasia patients. On the other hand, an intriguing question is whether individuals with aphasia exhibit attention allocation patterns similar to neurotypical individuals during linguistic production.

Although the above questions focus on the subfields of linguistic and other cognitive functions, it is important to emphasize that this research contributes to the investigation of a more general issue prevalent in the literature on aphasia. Specifically, it aims to explore to what extent the observed loss of linguistic function in aphasia can be attributed to the impairment of cognitive functions that operate language and how much to the impairment of the linguistic competence itself. Ultimately, the results facilitate a deeper understanding of aphasia.

I conduct my research in collaboration with clinical speech therapists, hoping that our findings contribute to the development of new approaches for state-of-the-art assessment, diagnostic, and therapeutic methods.

Currently I work as the principal investigator of the NKFIH project titled Interactions of sentence processing and attention allocation in people with aphasia.
