Investigating the origin of nonfluency in aphasia
Nazbanou “Bonnie” Nozari, MD, PhD.
School of Medicine, Neurology and Neurosurgery.
Johns Hopkins University

A major challenge in understanding the origin of clinical symptoms in
neuropsychological impairments is capturing the complexity of the underlying
cognitive structure. An excellent example is the challenge of understanding
the origin of nonfluency in post-stroke aphasia. While a large body of
literature has explored the relationship between nonfluency and various
aspects of language processing, the origin of this symptom has remained
obscure due to highly complex and inter-related operations that underlie
language production. In this talk, I will propose a psycholinguistic framework
for studying the possible origin(s) of nonfluency in aphasia, and review
several bodies of work that have independently suggested a relationship
between fluency and various processes in this model. I will then discuss a
statistical approach, a variant of structural equation modeling, that allows
us to construct a realistic model of nonfluency that better captures the
complex architecture of the language production system. Using this approach, I
will identify several operations the damage to which can lead to nonfluency,
and highlight the areas in need of further research.

The lecture will be held at Johns Hopkins University. However, it will be
broadcast live to USC:

Room #140, Discovery I, 915 Greene Street, Columbia, SC 29208

Date: Thursday, February 22 2018, Time: 2pm – 3pm EST
