Alexandra Krauska – ProQuest LLC, 2024
In standard models of language production or comprehension, the elements which are retrieved from memory and combined into a syntactic structure are "lemmas" or "lexical items". Such models implicitly take a "lexicalist" approach, which assumes that lexical items store meaning, syntax, and form together, that…

Hsu, Chien-Ju – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Sentence comprehension requires both syntactic prediction and working memory processes. Evidence suggests that both are impaired in agrammatic aphasia, and can independently contribute to comprehension breakdowns, but the relationship between them, especially during real-time sentence comprehension remains unclear. Two EEG studies investigated…

Chapman, Laura Roche; Hallowell, Brooke – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Pupillary responses captured via pupillometry (measurement of pupillary dilation and constriction during the performance of a cognitive task) are psychophysiological indicators of cognitive effort, attention, arousal, and resource engagement. Pupillometry may be a promising tool for enhancing our understanding of the relationship between…

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…

Chapman, Laura Roche; Hallowell, Brooke – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Arousal and cognitive effort are relevant yet often overlooked components of attention during language processing. Pupillometry can be used to provide a psychophysiological index of arousal and cognitive effort. Given that much is unknown regarding the relationship between cognition and language deficits seen in people with aphasia (PWA),…

Ashaie, Sameer; Castro, Nichol – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Aphasia is a complex, neurogenic language disorder, with different aphasia syndromes hallmarked by impairment in fluency, auditory comprehension, naming, and/or repetition. Broad, standardized assessments of language domains and specific language and cognitive assessments provide a holistic impairment profile of a person with aphasia.…

Lee, Seongsil; Faroqi-Shah, Yasmeen – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: The use of standardized tests specifically designed for and normed on bilingual groups is crucial for the accurate diagnosis and language profiling of bilingual speakers with aphasia. Currently, there is a dearth of norms and supporting psychometric data for the few available bilingual aphasia assessments. The only available aphasia…
