10th Annual Eleanor M. Saffran Conference on Cognitive Neuroscience and Rehabilitation
of Communication Disorders
Friday September 18th and Saturday September 19th
Howard Gittis Student Center Room 200
“Translational Research in the Communication Sciences:
Challenges and Pathways to Solution”
The Temple University Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders and the Eleanor M. Saffran Center for Cognitive Neuroscience are pleased to present the 10th Annual Eleanor M. Saffran Cognitive Neuroscience Conference. Dr. Eleanor M. Saffran was one of the pioneers of Cognitive Neuropsychology with a career spanning some 35 years. Two remarkable features of Eleanor’s career were the diversity of topics she researched and her extraordinary ability to focus on the most intriguing aspects of a problem. This year’s topic, short-term and working memory, was of special interest to Eleanor and her work in this area was instrumental in motivating aphasia rehabilitation scientists to consider the role of nonlinguistic cognitive abilities in language processing and impairment. Eleanor’s research led to important developments in our understanding and treatment of agrammatism, deep dyslexia, word deafness, short-term memory deficits, word production, sentence processing, semantics, and visual cognition. Her legacy of research will continue to inspire researchers in all areas of cognitive neuroscience and rehabilitation science
