Learning‐in‐interaction: Resourceful work by people with aphasia and therapists in the course of language impairment therapyFootnote

The author would like to acknowledge the contributions of all participants—people with aphasia and therapists alike—who generously permitted collection and analysis of their therapy data. Great thanks are due to three reviewers of very early versions of this paper, and to two further reviewers of a more recent version for their very helpful comments. Many thanks to Paul Conroy for illuminating conversations about errorless learning.
