Research summary
AI-generated

Willem S. van Boxtel studies how people understand and produce sentences, with a particular focus on language difficulties following stroke-related aphasia and in older adults, including those with Alzheimer's disease. His work often uses eye-tracking (including webcam-based methods) and structural priming techniques to study sentence comprehension, memory, and language treatment approaches. This research aims to inform both theories of language processing and practical clinical tools for assessing and treating language disorders.
