    Comprehension of co-speech gestures in aphasic patients: an eye movement study

    Eggenberger, Noëmi ; Preisig, Basil C. ; Schumacher, Rahel ; Hopfner, Simone ; Vanbellingen, Tim ; Nyffeler, Thomas ; Gutbrod, Klemens ; Annoni, Jean-Marie ; Bohlhalter, Stephan ; Cazzoli, Dario ; Müri, René M.

    Co-speech gestures are omnipresent and a crucial element of human interaction by facilitating language comprehension. However, it is unclear whether gestures also support language comprehension in aphasic patients. Using visual exploration behavior analysis, the present study aimed to investigate the influence of congruence between speech and co-speech gestures on comprehension in terms of...

    Eye gaze behavior at turn transition: how aphasic patients process speakers’ turns during video observation

    Preisig, Basil C. ; Eggenberger, Noëmi ; Zito, Giuseppe ; Vanbellingen, Tim ; Schumacher, Rahel ; Hopfner, Simone ; Gutbrod, Klemens ; Nyffeler, Thomas ; Cazzoli, Dario ; Annoni, Jean-Marie ; Bohlhalter, Stephan ; Müri, René M.

    In: Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, 2016, vol. 28, no. 10, p. 1613–1624

    The human turn-taking system regulates the smooth and precise exchange of speaking turns during face-to-face interaction. Recent studies investigated the processing of ongoing turns during conversation by measuring the eye movements of noninvolved observers. The findings suggest that humans shift their gaze in anticipation to the next speaker before the start of the next turn. Moreover, there...

    The modulation of reading strategies by language opacity in early bilinguals: an eye movement study

    De León Rodríguez, Diego ; Buetler, C,, Karin A. ; Eggenberger, Noëmi ; Preisig, Basil C. ; Schumacher, Rahel ; Laganaro, Marina ; Nyffeler, Thomas ; Annoni, Jean-Marie ; Müri, René M.

    In: Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2016, vol. 19, no. 3, p. 567–577

    Converging evidences from eye movement experiments indicate that linguistic contexts influence reading strategies. However, the question of whether different linguistic contexts modulate eye movements during reading in the same bilingual individuals remains unresolved. We examined reading strategies in a transparent (German) and an opaque (French) language of early, highly proficient...

    Screening for language disorders in stroke: german validation of the language screening test (last)

    Koenig-Bruhin, M. ; Vanbellingen, Tim ; Schumacher, Rahel ; Pflugshaupt, T. ; Annoni, Jean-Marie ; Müri, René M. ; Bohlhalter, Stephan ; Nyffeler, Thomas

    In: Cerebrovascular Diseases Extra, 2016, vol. 6, no. 1, p. 27–31

    Background: Screening of aphasia in acute stroke is crucial for directing patients to early language therapy. The Language Screening Test (LAST), originally developed in French, is a validated language screening test that allows detection of a language deficit within a few minutes. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate two parallel German versions of the LAST. Methods: The...
