Dr. Dickey was trained as a linguist and psycholinguist at the University of Massachusetts and at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholingusitics. He was cross-trained in aphasiology and adult neurogenic language disorders as a post-doctoral fellow and research associate in the Aphasia and Neurolinguistics Research Lab at Northwestern University. His research centers on sentence comprehension and production in adults and its impairment in aphasia, as well as in traumatic brain injury and right-hemisphere damaged populations. He is also actively interested in using linguistic theory and psycholinguistic methodology to formulate and test novel treatment protocols for adult language disorders.
