Lindsey, André; Guernon, Ann; Stika, Monica; Bender Pape, Theresa – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background & Aims: The present retrospective study examines veterans and military personnel who have sustained a cognitive-communication deficit/disorder (CCD) and/or aphasia secondary to traumatic brain injury (TBI). The prevalence of each disorder secondary to TBI is identified and demographic factors are analysed to determine whether…

Vallila-Rohter, Sofia; Czupryna, Brendan – Topics in Language Disorders, 2020
Studies have identified deficits in attention in individuals with aphasia in language and nonlanguage tasks. Attention may play a role in the construction and use of language, as well as in learning and the process of rehabilitation, yet the role of attention on rehabilitation is not fully understood. To improve the understanding of attention and…

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…

Faroqi-Shah, Yasmeen; Milman, Lisa – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2018
Background: The ability to generate words that follow certain constraints, or verbal fluency, is a sensitive indicator of neurocognitive impairment, and is impacted by a variety of variables. Aims: To investigate the effect of post-stroke aphasia, elicitation category and linguistic variables on verbal fluency performance. Methods &…

Feedforward and Feedback Control in Apraxia of Speech: Effects of Noise Masking on Vowel Production
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Maas, Edwin; Mailend, Marja-Liisa; Guenther, Frank H. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2015
Purpose: This study was designed to test two hypotheses about apraxia of speech (AOS) derived from the Directions Into Velocities of Articulators (DIVA) model (Guenther et al., 2006): the feedforward system deficit hypothesis and the feedback system deficit hypothesis. Method: The authors used noise masking to minimize auditory feedback during…

Language and the Brain. Cambridge Approaches to Linguistics.
Obler, Loraine K.; Gjerlow, Kris – 1999
This book examines how the brain enables people to speak creatively and build up an understanding of language. The discussion looks at the linguistic and neuro-anatomical underpinnings of language and considers how language skills can systematically break down in individuals with different types of brain damage. By studying children with language…
