Cursing in Aphasia and other Neurological Disorders: Synthesis and New
Directions

Jamie Reilly, Ph.D
Temple University

Many neurological disorders (e.g., aphasia, TBI, Tourette Syndrome) result in
excessive and/or uncontrolled cursing. Much remains to be learned about the
cognitive and neural underpinnings of cursing, and there are no known
behavioral treatments.  In this talk I will present an overview of cursing in
American English. Listeners will learn about cursing and the complex interplay
cursing invokes between language, emotion regulation, and inhibitory control.
I will also present data from a non-invasive brain stimulation study among
neurotypical adults showing that cathodal (inhibitory) stimulation of the
right frontal cortex dampens arousal during cursing. We will discuss
therapeutic applications of this technique to disorders of arousal and
inhibitory control.
