Framing Ideas in Aphasia: The Need for Thinking Therapy
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Marshall, Jane – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2009
This paper argues that some of the patterns seen in aphasia may reflect difficulties in the cognitive preparations for language. In particular, some individuals might be unable to carry out processes of "Thinking for Speaking" (Slobin 1996), which frame thoughts for language production. Evidence to support this proposal is presented, together with…
