Summary
This study tests whether watching immersive 360° videos of everyday actions can improve word-finding in people with anomic aphasia after a stroke. Forty participants will either watch first-person 360° videos or standard third-person videos over 12 sessions. The goal is to see if the immersive experience boosts naming ability more than regular videos.
