Summary

This study tested a therapy called speech entrainment, where people with non-fluent aphasia (trouble speaking after a stroke) mimic a speaker in real time. 80 participants were split into groups receiving 3, 4.5, or 6 weeks of therapy, or no therapy. The goal was to find the best dose for lasting improvements in spontaneous speech.
