ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how cognitive functions, such as memory and language skills, differ among adults, including those with a condition called aphasia, which affects their ability to communicate. The researchers want to understand how these cognitive profiles vary by age and gender within a group of at least 600 adults aged 18 and older. They will compare people from the general population to those with recognized aphasic syndromes, as well as seniors over 60 years old, to see if there are specific patterns in how people learn and remember things.

To participate, individuals must meet certain criteria. For example, if you are part of the general population, you should be between 18 and 60 years old. Those with aphasia must be over 18, and seniors must be over 60. During the study, qualified professionals will assess your memory, learning, and language skills, while also gathering information about your health history. This research aims to provide valuable insights that could help improve support and treatment for individuals with cognitive challenges.
