Erica Howard

Erica Howard's research focuses on how neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, frontotemporal dementia, and progressive supranuclear palsy affect speech, language, and cognition. Work in this area often uses speech analysis and neuroimaging to identify markers of disease and to understand how brain changes relate to difficulties with language, numbers, and communication. The publication record also includes an earlier study on family caregiving communication, suggesting some background interest in communication research more broadly.

Publication output has been modest and uneven over the last decade, with occasional gaps (e.g., 2018-2019, 2023) and a small recent uptick, averaging about one publication per year over the last five years.
