Access Project

Damage to the right hemisphere of the brain during adulthood causes problems for cognition and communication. We are currently at an early stage of knowledge with regard to the nature of communication disorders caused by right hemisphere damage, and in delineating their specific implications for communication in everyday life. This project explores how right hemisphere damage affects everyday conversations. It aims to provide detailed descriptions of the behavioural manifestations of communication problems caused by right hemisphere damage, which will support improved speech pathology diagnosis and intervention for this condition. This project received funding from a Macquarie University Research Development / Seeding Grant.
