Interventions
DEVICE

tDCS (active)

The investigators will administer active tDCS to left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) during 10 sessions of behavioral treatment. For active tDCS, the current will slowly be increased to 2mA and applied for 20 minutes.

BEHAVIORAL

Attention-focused sentence comprehension treatment

This is a specific type of speech-language therapy that focuses on simultaneously improving auditory comprehension and behavioral attention. Participants will receive 10 sessions of this treatment.

BEHAVIORAL

Sentence comprehension treatment

This is a specific type of speech-language therapy that focuses on improving auditory comprehension . Participants will receive 10 sessions of this treatment.

DEVICE

tDCS (sham)

The investigators will administer sham tDCS to left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) during 10 sessions of behavioral treatment. For sham tDCS, the current will slowly be increased to 2mA over the course of 30 seconds and then immediately ramped back down to zero.
