The concept of “inner speech” will be introduced, as well as operational definitions that the aphasiology field, and other fields, have used. Different ways of measuring inner speech will be introduced. Then, the talk will focus on several studies conducted in Dr. Stark’s lab, comparing/contrasting inner speech measurement, evaluating inner speech in the daily lives of adults with aphasia, and evaluating inner speech as a mechanism spurring recovery after language therapy.
Dr. Brielle Stark is Assistant Professor and PhD Program Director of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington, USA. Her research has evaluated spoken discourse, inner speech, and the cognitive neuroscience of language and language recovery since 2012.
