Can reading tasks predict speech fluency in people with aphasia?
We showed that automatic measures of how people read are reliable to check speech fluency in persons with aphasia.
Research on a new technique to predict speech fluency in people with aphasia.
Because it is important to create more objective and reliable measures of speech fluency in people with aphasia.
This system can be used to quickly and reliably check fluency at a very low cost.
Data from reading tasks and comparison of techniques to find the best way to predict speech fluency in people with aphasia.
Not a treatment study
Most available methods for assessing fluency in people with aphasia are not totally reliable or take too much time. As a consequence, there is a crucial need to develop new and more reliable ways of measuring fluency for clinical use.
