Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The final goal of this research is to come to a better understanding of the<br /><br>problems that patients with aphasia have with time aspects in the production of<br /><br>sentences and the comprehension of sentences. Results of this study will be<br /><br>compared to the outcomes of studies in at least 11 other languages within the<br /><br>TART-project. The final goal of the TART is to increase the knowledge in tense<br /><br>processing. This knowledge serves to get a clearer view on the underlying<br /><br>deficits in aphasia and this knowledge for its part is important in developing<br /><br>diagnostic and therapeutic materials.</p><br>
