Research Themes

In order to identify new treatments of neurological language disorders, we are investigating ways to enhance language learning in healthy young and older adults. We have two current ARC grants investigating whether language and learning can be enhanced with exercise and with the introduction of white noise.

New treatments and management approaches are being developed utilising (1) hemispheric manipulations of attention and language in aphasia, and (2) new memory and communication training procedures for individuals with dementia and their carers.
