Language processing in both language impaired (aphasia/ stroke survivors and specific language impairment) and language unimpaired child and adult populations. This research program focuses on examining the nature of the information used during on-going language and cognitive processing, in determining when and how different information sources are integrated, and in determining the biological (neurological) bases of these processes. A multiple methodological approach is employed via the fusion of information provided by brain imaging, on-line and off-line behavioral research.
