Beukelman, David R.; Thiessen, Amber; Fager, Susan Koch – Topics in Language Disorders, 2021
Visual scene displays (VSDs) are becoming an increasingly popular method of message representation within augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) supports; however, design factors can influence the effectiveness of these images as communication supports. One issue that has come to light in recent years is the fact that selecting…

Lavoie, Monica; Black, Sandra E.; Tang-Wai, David F.; Graham, Naida L.; Stewart, Steven; Leonard, Carol; Rochon, Elizabeth – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: Despite its importance, in-depth analysis of connected speech is often neglected in the diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) -- especially for the logopenic variant (lvPPA) for which unreliable differential diagnosis has been documented. Only a few studies have been conducted on this topic in lvPPA. Aims: The aim of this…

Micol Martinelli – ProQuest LLC, 2021
The works collated here provide evidence of the benefits of viewing communication with people with aphasia (PWA) as a joint interactional process and of applying linguistic methodologies to the study of discourse and interaction in aphasia. They specifically point to the need to reconceptualize familiarization and speaking for behaviors in…

Kim, Esther S.; Suleman, Salima; Hopper, Tammy – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Decision making involves multiple cognitive and linguistic processes. The extent to which these processes are involved depends, in part, on the conditions under which decision making is assessed. Because people with aphasia (PWA) have impaired language abilities and may also present with cognitive deficits, they may have difficulty during…

Middleton, Erica L.; Schuchard, Julia; Rawson, Katherine A. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2020
It is uncontroversial in psychological research that different schedules of practice, which govern the distribution of practice over time, can promote radically different outcomes in terms of gains in performance and durability of learning. In contrast, in speech-language treatment research, there is a critical need for well-controlled studies…

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…

Purpose: In the study, we investigated whether speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in India use practice and feedback conditions of motor learning principles (MLPs), including biofeedback, in dysphagia therapy in adults using a problem--solution approach. Method: Based on a literature review and clinical experience, we developed and validated a…

Robert Benjamin Cavanaugh – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Communication is fundamental to the human condition but is impaired in life-altering ways for more than 2.4 million individuals with aphasia in the United States. Individuals with aphasia identify discourse-level communication (i.e. language in use) as a high priority for treatment. The central premise of most aphasia treatments is that restoring…

Fergadiotis, Gerasimos; Hula, William D.; Swiderski, Alexander M.; Lei, Chia-Ming; Stacey Kellough – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: In this study, we investigated the agreement between the 175-item Philadelphia Naming Test (PNT; Roach, Schwartz, Martin, Grewal, & Brecher, 1996) and a 30-item computer adaptive PNT (PNT-CAT; Fergadiotis, Kellough, & Hula, 2015; Hula, Kellough, & Fergadiotis, 2015) created using item response theory (IRT) methods. Method: The…

Archer, Brent; Azios, Jamie H.; Müller, Nicole; Macatangay, Lauren – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: In single-case treatment studies, researchers may compare client performance during a baseline, nontreatment phase(s) to client performance during intervention phases. Autocorrelation in the data series gathered during such studies increases the likelihood that analysts will detect or fail to detect meaningful differences between baseline…

Kendall, Diane L.; Moldestad, Megan Oelke; Allen, Wesley; Torrence, Janaki; Nadeau, Stephen E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: The ultimate goal of anomia treatment should be to achieve gains in exemplars trained in the therapy session, as well as generalization to untrained exemplars and contexts. The purpose of this study was to test the efficacy of phonomotor treatment, a treatment focusing on enhancement of phonological sequence knowledge, against semantic…

Theodore Jenkins – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Hand gestures and body movements are a frequent complement to spoken human language. They often communicate ancillary information to the verbal message, and are theorized to aid the cognitive load associated with several tasks (e.g., lexical retrieval & short term memory). However, the current literature specifically focuses on the…
