Indeed, I've been fortunate. On that note, I'm also happy to share that I've started a postdoctoral fellowship with Dr. Argye Hillis at @hopkinsmedicine.bsky.social, where I'll be working on longitudinal/predictive/multimodal modeling and neuromodulation, among other fun things. Stay tuned!

Yes, in practical terms those patients you describe need dedicated support in both languages as they are far less likely to manifest transfer effects.

None in a formal prediction model AFAIK (@nicholcastro.bsky.social or S. Ashaie would know better). My current diss work is looking at something related – not to predict recovery, but examining the contribution of e.g., PHQ, GAD, real-time affect/valence ratings in predicting severity... stay tuned!

Absolutely! I found it odd that this hadn't been borne out in a lot of the multilingual aphasia lit. The largest and most recent meta-analysis of tx outcomes showed no association (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...) – in our opinion likely bc of variability & problems w/testing instruments

Let me know if you have further questions! Here is a link to the author's manuscript I host on my site: mjmarte.github.io/manuscripts/... :)

3. Edu background (more yrs of education = better outcomes for both lgs, though this may be cohort-specific)
Some interesting interactions, too – cog skills amplified the benefits of preserved lg abilities, pts with both "good" untreated lg AND cog skills showed the best cross-language outcomes

Thanks for your question, Linda. In anticipating tx response, based on these data, I'd focus on:
1. Severity of aphasia in *both* languages (lower severity = better outcomes in both lgs)
2. Baseline cognitive performance (stronger cog skills = better outcomes, particularly for the untreated lg)...

This work provides the first data-driven evidence for how multiple factors shape recovery in bilingual aphasia & may help clinicians better anticipate tx response. Thanks to amazing colleagues & guidance from @swathikiran.bsky.social @utaustin.bsky.social @claudiapenaloza.bsky.social and others! 3/3

Using ML, we achieved strong predictive performance (e.g., F1 ≥ 0.77) by considering language severity, cognitive abilities, and demographics. Most exciting: Untreated language abilities & cognitive performance emerged as key predictors of cross-language generalization. 2/3
