Aphasia Lab
ABOUT US
The Aphasia Lab has a dual focus. First, there is an emphasis on developing psychometric tools for quantifying cognitive and linguistic constructs in neurotypical as well as neurologically impaired adults. Second, we study how the language production system changes as a function of neurological damage.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
2021
The Aphasia Lab and collaborators from OHSU received a new, one-year award from NIH to fuel the development of an automatic speech recognition system for aphasic speech. This award supports the phonemic transcription and task packaging of AphasiaBank data so that computer scientists from around the world may compete to train and develop this system.
PSU's Aphasia Lab is pleased to announce its newest Research Associate, Stacey Steel, MS, CCC-SLP. She will be coordinating efforts for the R01 grant "Assessment of anomia: Improving efficiency and utility using item response theory" by engaging in community outreach and participant recruitment, collecting and analyzing data, and collaborating with an interdisciplinary team of researchers from across the country.
Congratulations to Dr. Gerasimos Fergadiotis, who was a Guest Editor of Seminars in Speech and Language: Psychometrics of Adult Neurogenic Assessment Measures, Issue 3, Volume 42, pages 177-274, published June 2021. He also co-authored one of the featured articles: Computer Adaptive Testing for the Assessment of Anomia Severity.
Our team is currently developing a new website. The launch and updated web address will be announced here in the coming weeks - stay tuned!
