Brief description of study
The Purdue Aphasia Research Lab is inviting healthy adults to participate in a language learning study. The goal is to develop a new treatment for brain injured patients. The information gathered from healthy adults will be used to compare with information gathered from people with aphasia. Aphasia is a language disorder acquired after brain injury, most commonly a stroke.
