This article reviews existing research on the interactions between verbal short-term memory and language processing impairments in aphasia.
Oct 1, 2022 · In aphasia, damage to brain regions responsible for language processing disrupts access to words previously learned and consolidated in the mental lexicon, causing people with aphasia (PWA) to experience word finding difficulties that negatively impact their everyday communication.

If blood cannot reach areas of the brain that are responsible for language, and the brain cells there suffer permanent damage, a person can lose the ability to use language normally and is said to have an aphasia (the Ancient Greek word for “speechlessness”).
May 1, 2018 · Accordingly, the papers enhance our understanding of the interplay between behavioural and neural factors underlying aphasia, mechanisms of recovery, and the modulatory effect of therapy including neuro-stimulation. The Special Issue comprises one overview and four original papers on the cognitive neuroscience of aphasia recovery and therapy.
One area of research is based on structural models of human memory and aims to identify short-term (STM) and long-term (LTM) memory deficits in aphasia in relation to the site of brain damage.
People with aphasia (PWA) present with language deficits including word retrieval difficulties after brain damage. Language learning is an essential life-long human capacity that may support treatment-induced language recovery after brain insult.
