(C03)
Subject Area

Term
since 2024
Project identifier
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 512393437
C03 focuses on multimodal creativity in people (i) with aphasia (PWA) or (ii) with cognitive communication disorders (PCCD) compared to unimpaired persons. C03 will investigate how PWA and PCCD creatively use their preserved verbal and gestural communicative capacities. This will be examined under different task demands (e.g., naming tasks, sentence completion, a taboo paradigm or constraining the output modality) and by including linguistic material of varying complexity (e.g., compound nouns and complex verbs). The influence of cognitive and emotional processing on creativity in PWA and PCCD will also be central in project C03.
