Cognitive intervention, Aphasia, Sentence comprehensionAbstract
Cognitive control processes allow us to detect and resolve conflicts experienced in both linguistic and non-linguistic domains. Up to now, the provided interventions for sentence comprehension have focused solely on the linguistic domain, without considering executive functions (EFs) and their essential role in human cognition and behaviour regulation. In this study, we aim to present a cognitive intervention treatment protocol which can be used to investigate the impact of training EFs in sentence comprehension.
