Description of the project:

Second language learners often produce language patterns resembling those of children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI). The overlap among the features of bilingual and impaired language lead to methodological and clinical confusion, which this Action aimed to resolve in order to improve language assessment. The project gathered scientist form over 20 countries to work within four main groups: WG1: Syntax and inferences with morphology and semantics; WG2 Narrative and discourse; WG3 Lexical and phonological processing; and WG 4 Executive functions. One of the major outcomes of the collaboration was the development of Cross-Linguistic Lexical Tasks (LITMUS – CLTs), that is now available in 15 languages.

Description of the project:

The project was established to facilitate the development of a comprehensive and internationally agreed-on assessment toolkit for older adults targeting the various subtypes of dementia and various aspects of pain, including pain diagnostics, cognitive examination and guidelines for proper assessment. The collaboration created a clinical bedside tool for pain assessment in patients with dementia and cognitive impairments (PAIC). The PAIC tool is aimed to be adapted and validated for use across Europe in order to facilitate common research and to be used in clinical/health care settings.

Description of the project:

The project seeks to improve our understanding of aphasia as it relates to predictors and prognosis, intervention effectiveness and social impact and re-integration for people with aphasia. It works to increase the availability and validity of multilingual assessments and outcome measures relating to aphasia. In this way the collaboration supports international research activities and increase the availability of clinical tools for people with aphasia who do not speak English and their healthcare professionals. The project gathered scientist form over 30 countries to work within six main groups: WG1 Aphasia Datasets; WG2 Aphasia assessment and outcomes; WG3 Prognosis and predictors of recovery; WG4 Effectiveness of interventions; WG5 Societal impact; W6 Cognition. One of the major outcomes so far has been the development of multilingual aphasia measurement instruments and recommendations for measurement of outcomes in adults with post-stroke aphasia (ROMA) within aphasia treatment studies.

Description of the project:

The project sets to explore the neural underpinnings of consciousness through large scale muliticenter studies that focus on collecting MRI data alongsied wide spectrum of behavioural outcomes to build predictive models for normal and pathological cognitive functioning. The colleboration is organized in seven groups: WG1 Neuroarchitectural mapping, WG2 Statistical methods, WG3 – Conscious perception, WG4 Metacognition, WG5 Consciousness, learning, and memory, WG6 – Clinical measures of consciousness, and WG7 – Large-scale data collection – coorinating large sacle data collection sites in Aarhus (Denmark), Krakow (Poland), Brno (Czech Republic), Chiba (Japan) and Cardiff (UK).
