Abstract: This study investigates whether upregulating cognitive control—the mental ability to detect and resolve conflicts—enhances comprehension in aphasia. Using a 2x2 design, we examine how cognitive control modulates conflict versus competition at the word versus sentence level comprehension. The findings can advance language-cognition models and inform novel aphasia interventions.
