From BBC

"Emotions are a big part of having aphasia -- it impacts your quality of life drastically," said first author Deena Schwen Blackett, who completed this work as a graduate student in speech and hearing science at Ohio State.

In fact, Schwen Blackett expected an earlier study she led in people who didn't have aphasia to show that emotions surrounding stimuli would generate a strong performance in word retrieval -- possibly by harnessing the right brain hemisphere to give a boost to language processing in the left hemisphere.

"So this new study using varied tasks was validating, and replicated those findings -- we saw the same thing in people with mild to moderate aphasia but to a greater magnitude than what was seen in neurotypical people," said Schwen Blackett, now a postdoctoral fellow at the Medical University of South Carolina.
