Background: Pictures drawn by people with aphasia (PWA) are often more challenging to understand than those drawn by healthy people. There are two types of objects: those that tend to be drawn symbolically (symbolically drawn objects--SOs) and those that are likely to be drawn realistically (realistically drawn objects--ROs). Aims: To compare the…

Douglas, Joanne T. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a rare neurodegenerative brain disorder characterized by declining language ability. There is currently no way to reverse or slow the course of the progressive brain degeneration, nor is there a cure for PPA. Throughout the course of the disease, any treatment must therefore be palliative in nature…

Brisebois, Amélie; Brambati, Simona Maria; Rochon, Elizabeth; Leonard, Carol; Marcotte, Karine – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Discourse analysis has recently received much attention in the aphasia literature. Even if post-stroke language recovery occurs throughout the longitudinal continuum of recovery, very few studies have documented discourse changes from the hyperacute to the chronic phases of recovery. Aims: To document a multilevel analysis of discourse…

Marcella Carragher; Zaneta Mok; Gillian Steel; Paul Conroy; Kathryn Pettigrove; Miranda L. Rose; Leanne Togher – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: The complexity of communication presents challenges for clinical assessment, outcome measurement and intervention for people with acquired brain injury. For the purposes of assessment or treatment, this complexity is usually managed by isolating specific linguistic functions or speech acts from the interactional context. Separating…

Hounslow, Rhiannon; Rohde, Alexia; Finch, Emma – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: A number of practice barriers (e.g., time constraints, patient comorbidities and competing demands) exist as regards the evidence-based assessment of adult language within the acute hospital setting. There is need for an evidence-based, diagnostically validated, adaptable, comprehensive and efficient aphasia assessment. The Brisbane…

Background: Evidence-based recommendations for a core outcome set (COS; minimum set of outcomes) for aphasia treatment research have been developed (the Research Outcome Measurement in Aphasia--ROMA, COS). Five recommended core outcome constructs: communication, language, quality of life, emotional well-being and patient-reported…

Wilson, Stephen M.; Eriksson, Dana K.; Brandt, Temre H.; Schneck, Sarah M.; Lucanie, Jillian M.; Burchfield, Annie S.; Charney, Sara; Quillen, Ian A.; de Riesthal, Michael; Kirshner, Howard S.; Beeson, Pélagie M.; Ritter, Leslie; Kidwell, Chelsea S. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Recovery from aphasia after stroke has a decelerating trajectory, with the greatest gains taking place early and the slope of change decreasing over time. Despite its importance, little is known regarding evolution of language function in the early postonset period. The goal of this study was to characterize the dynamics and nature of…

Sharma, Saryu; Briley, Patrick M.; Wright, Heather Harris; Perry, Jamie L.; Fang, Xiangming; Ellis, Charles – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2019
Background: Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Aphasia is a language impairment which results as a consequence of stroke. Gender differences are reported in underlying mechanisms of stroke, however, gender differences in aphasia type and severity remain unclear. Aims: To examine gender differences in aphasia…

Gordon, Jean K. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Spontaneous speech tasks are critically important for characterizing spoken language production deficits in aphasia and for assessing the impact of therapy. The utility of such tasks arises from the complex interaction of linguistic demands (word retrieval, sentence formulation, articulation). However, this complexity also makes…

Goldberg, Emily B.; Meier, Erin L.; Sheppard, Shannon M.; Breining, Bonnie L.; Hillis, Argye E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Many factors influence poststroke language recovery, yet little is known about the influence of previous stroke(s) on language after left hemisphere stroke. In this prospective longitudinal study, we investigated the role of prior stroke on language abilities following an acute left hemisphere ischemic stroke, while controlling for…

Laures-Gore, Jacqueline; Cahana-Amitay, Dalia; Buchanan, Tony W. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: The current study investigated diurnal cortisol dynamics in adults with and without aphasia, along with subjective reports of stress and measures of language production. Dysregulation of cortisol, a common biomarker of stress, is associated with cognitive dysfunction in different clinical populations. However, little is known about the…

Alantie, Sonja; Tyrkkö, Jukka; Makkonen, Tanja; Renvall, Kati – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study reports on how very old (VO) Finnish people without dementia perform in the Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) and two verbal fluency tasks and which demographic factors predict the performance. Method: The study included fifty 80- to 100-year-old community-dwelling Finnish speakers with no dementing illnesses or speech-language…

Silkes, JoAnn P. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: Masked priming has been suggested as a way to directly target implicit lexical retrieval processes in aphasia. This study was designed to investigate repeated use of masked repetition priming to improve picture naming in individuals with anomia due to aphasia. Method: A single-subject, multiple-baseline design was used across 6 people…

Flurie, Maurice; Ungrady, Molly; Reilly, Jamie – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) and the amnestic variant of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are neurodegenerative conditions characterized by a profound loss of functional communication abilities. Communicative impairment in AD and PPA is especially apparent in the domain of naming common objects and familiar faces. We evaluated the…

Henriksson, Ingrid; Laakso, Katja – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2020
Background: Reading is most often affected in aphasia and this has an impact on most aspects of everyday life. Being able to read makes a significant difference to how well a person can participate in society. In this study, people with aphasia recount their experiences of being in a book club. Aims: This small scale, exploratory study employs a…
