NCT ID NCT06990997

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether showing an aphasia identification card helps healthy volunteers better understand a person with aphasia. 160 service workers will listen to sentences from a speaker with aphasia, with or without seeing the card first. Researchers will measure comprehension accuracy and eye movements to see if the card makes a difference.
