Sheppard, Shannon M.; Walenski, Matthew; Love, Tracy; Shapiro, Lewis P. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2015
Purpose: This study examines 3 hypotheses about the processing of "wh"-questions in both neurologically healthy adults and adults with Broca's aphasia. Method: We used an eye tracking while listening method with 32 unimpaired participants (Experiment 1) and 8 participants with Broca's aphasia (Experiment 2). Accuracy, response time, and…

Ferrill, Michelle; Love, Tracy; Walenski, Matthew; Shapiro, Lewis P. – American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2012
Purpose: To investigate the time-course of processing of lexical items in auditorily presented canonical (subject-verb-object) constructions in young, neurologically unimpaired control participants and participants with left-hemisphere damage and agrammatic aphasia. Method: A cross modal picture priming (CMPP) paradigm was used to test 114 control…

Love, Tracy; Swinney, David; Walenski, Matthew; Zurif, Edgar – Brain and Language, 2008
We report on three experiments that provide a real-time processing perspective on the poor comprehension of Broca's aphasic patients for non-canonically structured sentences. In the first experiment we presented sentences (via a Cross Modal Lexical Priming (CMLP) paradigm) to Broca's patients at a normal rate of speech. Unlike the pattern found…
