This study will require ~22 hours across five weeks. You will be asked to name some pictures and answer questions about those pictures. You will then participate in three weeks of speech-language therapy to improve your picture naming.

You do not have any other neurological disorders (e.g., epilepsy). You do not have a neurodegenerative disease (e.g., Alzheimer's disease).
