Gilardone, Giulia; Viganò, Mauro; Costantini, Giulio; Monti, Alessia; Corbo, Massimo; Cecchetto, Carlo; Papagno, Costanza – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: The comprehension profile of people with agrammatism is a debated topic. Syntactic complexity and cognitive resources, in particular phonological short-term memory (pSTM), are considered as crucial components by different interpretative accounts. Aim: To investigate the interaction of syntactic complexity and of pSTM in sentence…

Themistocleous, Charalambos; Neophytou, Kyriaki; Rapp, Brenda; Tsapkini, Kyrana – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: The evaluation of spelling performance in aphasia reveals deficits in written language and can facilitate the design of targeted writing treatments. Nevertheless, manual scoring of spelling performance is time-consuming, laborious, and error prone. We propose a novel method based on the use of distance metrics to automatically score…

Fromm, Davida; MacWhinney, Brian; Thompson, Cynthia K. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Analysis of spontaneous speech samples is important for determining patterns of language production in people with aphasia. To accomplish this, researchers and clinicians can use either hand coding or computer-automated methods. In a comparison of the two methods using the hand-coding NNLA (Northwestern Narrative Language Analysis) and…

Hazamy, Audrey A.; Obermeyer, Jessica – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2020
Background: Discourse analysis is an important component of aphasia assessment because it can provide an insight into functional communication abilities. However, there are many unknowns regarding the levels of discourse breakdowns that occur across aphasia types. The purpose of the current study is to explore the possible differences in…

Silkes, JoAnn P.; Baker, Carolyn; Love, Tracy – Topics in Language Disorders, 2020
This study investigates learning in aphasia as manifested through automatic priming effects. There is growing evidence that people with aphasia have impairments beyond language processing that could affect their response to treatment. Therefore, better understanding these mechanisms would be beneficial for improving methods of rehabilitation. This…

Molly X. Manning; Caoimhe Cleary; Caitriona McCaughey – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Supporting psychosocial well-being in aphasia is necessarily person-centred, interdisciplinary and coordinated. Shortcomings in such support are described in Ireland and elsewhere. Speech and language therapists (SLTs) are integral; and describing current practice and barriers they experience is important for enhancing service…

Jordan Tinsley; Amanda Stead; Brittany Halladay – Perspectives of the ASHA Special Interest Groups, 2024
Purpose: This study aimed to explore students' learning outcomes as a result of participating in a simulated aphasia escape room related to (a) the development of aphasia assessment and treatment self-efficacy, (b) students' perceptions of the experience, and (c) overall student performance on escape room tasks. Method: Thirty-six first-year…

Clàudia Roca; Ignasi Ivern; Ignacio Cifre; Olga Bruna – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: In the Spanish and Catalan context, there is currently a lack of standardized, linguistically adapted tools to assess people with communication disorders. This lack is especially evident when it comes to instruments designed to assess functional communication. Aims: The main objective of this study is to adapt the instrument entitled…

Dannielle Hibshman; Ellyn A. Riley – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Persons with aphasia (PWA) experience differences in attention after stroke, potentially impacting cognitive/language performance. This secondary analysis investigated physiologically measured vigilant attention during linguistic and nonlinguistic processing in PWA and control participants. Method: To evaluate performance and attention in…

Holly Robson; Harriet Thomasson; Matthew H. Davis – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: The use of telepractice in aphasia research and therapy is increasing in frequency. Teleassessment in aphasia has been demonstrated to be reliable. However, neuropsychological and clinical language comprehension assessments are not always readily translatable to an online environment and people with severe language comprehension or…

Brock, Kris L.; Koul, Rajinder; Corwin, Melinda; Schlosser, Ralf W. – Augmentative and Alternative Communication, 2022
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of interface display and respondent group on listener attitudes toward and perceived communicative competence of persons with aphasia. The Attitudes Toward Nonspeaking Persons scale and the Communicative Competence Scale was used to measure listener attitudes and communicative competence,…

Taubert, Shana T.; Burns, Clare L.; Ward, Elizabeth C.; Bassett, Lynell – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Speech and language therapists (SLTs) use videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) results to manage dysphagia. Yet, in some services only doctors can directly request a VFSS, potentially creating workflow inefficiencies and delaying patient access to VFSS. An alternative model, where SLTs directly refer patients for VFSS, is used in…

Loizidou, Maria; Brotherhood, Emilie; Harding, Emma; Crutch, Sebastian; Warren, Jason D.; Hardy, Chris J. D.; Volkmer, Anna – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) describes a group of language-led dementias. PPAs are complex, diverse and difficult to diagnose, and therefore conventional models of aphasia and dementia treatment do not meet their needs. The research evidence on intervention for PPA is developing, but to date there are only a few case studies…

Tuomenoksa, Asta; Beeke, Suzanne; Klippi, Anu – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: In everyday conversations, a person with aphasia (PWA) compensates for their language impairment by relying on multimodal and material resources, as well as on their conversation partners. However, some social actions people perform in authentic interaction, proposing a joint future activity, for example, ordinarily rely on a speaker…

Trebilcock, Megan; Shrubsole, Kirstine; Worrall, Linda; Ryan, Brooke – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Online knowledge translation (KT) approaches are becoming increasingly prevalent within healthcare due to their accessibility and facilitation of international support networks. Online platforms enable timely and far-reaching dissemination of current evidence and best-practice recommendations. Although there is potential to improve the…
