Exploring the impact of aphasia self-disclosure on non-aphasic listeners

Jennifer E. Mack, PhD.
University of Massachusetts Amherst
 

In everyday contexts, many people with aphasia (PWA) self-disclose their
aphasia in the hopes of improving the chances of communicative success. In
many cases, this is the first time that an unfamiliar conversation partner has
ever heard of aphasia. What effect does this act of self-advocacy by PWA have
on unfamiliar, non-aphasic conversation partners? In this talk, I will explore
the potential effects of aphasia self-disclosure on non-aphasic listeners:
their attitudes towards the speaker with aphasia, the moment-to-moment changes
in their language system as they adjust to the speaker’s language production
patterns, and ultimately, their behavior as communication partners. Little
research to date has examined these topics. In this talk, I will synthesize
what is known from other communication disorders about the impact of
self-disclosure, as well as the psycholinguistic literature on how the
language comprehension system adapts to atypical language input. Then, I will
present results from an eye-tracking experiment examining how aphasia
self-disclosure impacts language processing in non-aphasic listeners. Finally,
I will discuss how research focused on the effects of aphasia self-disclosure
may inform the development of resources for PWA as well as aphasia awareness
and education campaigns.
