AphasiaBank

Data Access Levels

AphasiaBank data is available through these three access levels, as defined by NIH's Office of Data Science Strategy (ODSS):

1. Open access: The web pages at https://aphasia.talkbank.org are open access, as are the analysis programs at https://talkbank.org such as CLAN, Chatter, and Batchalign.
2. Registration required: Two AphasiaBank corpora -- APROCSA and Dysphagia -- are available on this level. These two corpora are open to all established researchers, but users need to sign in and register. To do this, users provide their email and create a password. They then receive an email message asking them to confirm registration. Once this is done, nearly all of CHILDES data are available for access through download or browsing in the TalkBank browser.
3. Controlled access: As with the other clinical databases, access to data in AphasiaBank is limited to registered established researchers who send a request for AphasiaBank access in which they verify their institutional status and agree to follow the TalkBank Ground Rules at https://talkbank.org/0share/index.html. If these established researchers require access for their students, we provide them access for a specified period of time that is less than one year. We use the TalkBank AdminView system at https://sla2.talkbank.org/AdminView to control access. The creation of the AdminView system was funded by a FAIR grant in 2023 from ODSS.
