Neurocognitive substrates of naming facilitation in aphasia

这项研究通过为澳大利亚日益增长的因年龄相关疾病而出现语言障碍的个人提供改善结果的基础知识，直接解决了国家研究优先目标，即健康、富有成效地老龄化。研究成果将包括：(1)发展一种新的单词生成理论，可以改善语言障碍的治疗；(2)加强对卒中后单词生成及其治疗的认知和大脑机制的理解；(3)在最先进的认知神经成像和语言神经科学研究方面培养研究生。

This research directly addresses the national research priority goal of ageing well, ageing productively, by providing foundational knowledge for improved outcomes in the growing population of individuals in Australia with language impairments from age-related disease. Outcomes of the proposed research will include (1) development of a new theory of word production which can improve treatment of language impairment, (2) an enhanced understanding of the cognitive and brain mechanisms involved in word production and its treatment after stroke, and (3) postgraduate training in state-of-the-art cognitive neuroimaging and language neuroscience research.
