Auclair-Ouellet, Noémie; Fossard, Marion; Macoir, Joël; Laforce, Robert – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Better performance for actions compared to objects has been reported in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (svPPA). This study investigated the influence of the assessment task (naming, semantic picture matching) over the dissociation between objects and actions. Method: Ten individuals with svPPA and 17 matched controls…

Salem, Alexandra C.; Gale, Robert; Casilio, Marianne; Fleegle, Mikala; Fergadiotis, Gerasimos; Bedrick, Steven – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: ParAlg (Paraphasia Algorithms) is a software that automatically categorizes a person with aphasia's naming error (paraphasia) in relation to its intended target on a picture-naming test. These classifications (based on lexicality as well as semantic, phonological, and morphological similarity to the target) are important for…

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…

Stalpaert, Jara; Cocquyt, Elissa-Marie; Miatton, Marijke; Sieben, Anne; Van Langenhove, Tim; van Mierlo, Pieter; De Letter, Miet – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: The semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is typically associated with a loss of semantic knowledge. Research on the semantic processing in the other clinical variants of PPA is, however, rather sparse and limited to off-line behavioural studies. Aims: This study aimed to investigate verbal semantic processing in…

Henry, Maya L.; Hubbard, H. Isabel; Grasso, Stephanie M.; Dial, Heather R.; Beeson, Pélagie M.; Miller, Bruce L.; Gorno-Tempini, Maria Luisa – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Recent studies confirm the utility of speech-language intervention in primary progressive aphasia (PPA); however, long-term outcomes, ideal dosage parameters, and relative benefits of intervention across clinical variants warrant additional investigation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether naming treatment affords…

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…

Jeanne Gallee – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is an acquired neurodegenerative syndrome that has specific and devastating effects on an individual's speech and language ability. Based on a detailed assessment of behavior and cognition, combined with structural neuroimaging data and pathological evidence, PPA is typically classified into three variants: the…

Meteyard, Lotte; Bose, Arpita – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: Impaired naming is one of the most common symptoms in aphasia, often treated with cued picture naming paradigms. It has been argued that semantic cues facilitate the reliable categorization of the picture, and phonological cues facilitate the retrieval of target phonology. To test these hypotheses, we compared the effectiveness of…

Caley, Sarah; Whitworth, Anne; Claessen, Mary – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2017
Background: Given the integral role that verbs play in sentence production, understanding verb deficits is critical to clinical practice. Difficulties in sentence production are often directly related to an inability to retrieve argument structure information which, according to most theoretical accounts, is specified at a lexical level as part of…

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…

Efstratiadou, Evangelia Antonia; Papathanasiou, Ilias; Holland, Rachel; Archonti, Anastasia; Hilari, Katerina – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to review treatment studies of semantic feature analysis (SFA) for persons with aphasia. The review documents how SFA is used, appraises the quality of the included studies, and evaluates the efficacy of SFA. Method: The following electronic databases were systematically searched (last search February 2017):…

Wilson, Stephen M.; Eriksson, Dana K.; Yen, Melodie; Demarco, Andrew T.; Schneck, Sarah M.; Lucanie, Jilian M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Recovery from aphasia is thought to depend on neural plasticity, that is, functional reorganization of surviving brain regions such that they take on new or expanded roles in language processing. To make progress in characterizing the nature of this process, we need feasible, reliable, and valid methods for identifying language regions of…

Cadório, Inês; Lousada, Marisa; Martins, Paula; Figueiredo, Daniela – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2017
Background: Cognitive-linguistic treatments and interventions targeting communication have been developed within the context of primary progressive aphasia (PPA), however knowledge about the scope of generalization and maintenance of therapy gains considering PPA subtypes remains scarce and awaits systematic investigation. Aims: To analyse the…

Harmon, Tyson G.; Nielsen, Courtney; Loveridge, Corinne; Williams, Camille – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate how emotional arousal and valence affect confrontational naming accuracy and response time (RT) in people with mild-to-moderate aphasia compared with adults without aphasia. We hypothesized that negative and positive emotions would facilitate naming for people with aphasia (PWA) but lead to…

Brookshire, Elizabeth; Conway, Tim; Henry, Maya L.; Spencer, Kristie A.; Yorkston, Kathryn M.; Kendall, Diane L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: This study investigated the relationship between non-orthographic language abilities and reading in order to examine assumptions of the primary systems hypothesis and further our understanding of language processing poststroke. Method: Performance on non-orthographic semantic, phonologic, and syntactic tasks, as well as oral reading and…
