Can subtitles aid auditory comprehension in Aphasia?

Research participation requests are sent to the Stroke Association from external research institutions (e.g. universities and hospitals).

We conduct checks on these before promoting but are not involved in their running. This means we cannot comment on trials and have no affiliation with them.

University College London

As part of our research at UCL, we are investigating whether subtitles help with understanding TV, film and online video.

We would really appreciate your help with this study.

This would involve filling out a short survey. You can do this alongside a family member or carer, or by yourself.

The aim of our survey is to find out whether people with Aphasia use subtitles whilst watching TV, film and online video in their first language.

If they do, we’d like to know why they find it useful.

What happens if I decide to take part?

  • You will complete a survey which includes questions about using subtitles and watching TV.

  • We will also ask for some information about you including your age and gender.

  • You can find the survey here:
    Microsoft Forms

  • The survey should take about 15 minutes to complete.

  • You do not have to take part if you don’t want to.

  • You can withdraw from the study at any time without giving a reason. You can do this simply by closing the survey.
