Adult Speech and Language Lab

Welcome to the Adult Speech and Language Lab

About the ASLL

The mission of the ASLL is to conduct research that contributes to our understanding of speech and language processing in normal and disordered populations, and understanding the mechanism by which multisensory modalities can be combined to optimize language processing. Ongoing studies in the ASLL investigate the factors that contribute to reading impairments in individuals with aphasia, and how neurotypical individuals, both young and older adults, process degraded speech and text information in unimodal and multimodal conditions.
