Research Interests

Dr. Hashimoto’s research interest involves the examination of language deficits in individuals with aphasia.  The deficits found in these individuals are interpreted within the context of a cognitive neuropsychology approach.  Methodologies such as on-line measures and the more traditional assessment batteries are used to examine how various aspects of the lexical-semantic (word meaning) system operates in the brains of neurologically intact individuals and individuals with aphasia. 

Another research interest is the use of theory-based treatment approaches in improving language deficits in individuals with aphasia.  This work involves the case study approach, where a detailed, in-depth analysis of an individual’s linguistic performance is carried out.
