Research

Dr. Jackson's research interests include language disorders associated with normal aging, dementia, and stroke. She has conducted intervention studies with individuals who have Alzheimer's disease and who reside in long term care facilities, examined the effect of dual task performance in stroke and normal aging, and examined the validity of aphasia therapy materials.
