Drew, Ruby L.; Thompson, Cynthia K. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1999
A semantic-based treatment was used initially to train naming of nouns in four adults with aphasia. Treatment responses and error patterns indicated treatment resulted in improved naming of both trained and untrained items for two participants. Two other participants showed improved naming only after phonological information was added. Results…

Roberts, Patricia M.; Deslauriers, Louise – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1999
This study investigated whether cognateness affected verbal-confrontation naming performance in balanced French/English bilingual (N-15 aphasic and 15 nonaphasic) subjects. Results of a picture-naming test showed that cognate pictures were more often correctly named in both languages than were noncognates. Some error types and self-correction…

Oelschlaeger, Mary L.; Thorne, John C. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1999
The Correct Information Unity analysis for measuring the communicative information and efficiency of connected speech was applied to the naturally occurring conversation of a person with moderate aphasia. Results indicated low intrarater and interrater reliability although reliability of word counts was good. Most rater disagreements resulted from…

Justus, Timothy; Ravizza, Susan M.; Fiez, Julie A.; Ivry, Richard B. – Brain and Language, 2005
Ten cerebellar patients were compared to 10 control subjects on a verbal working memory task in which the phonological similarity of the words to be remembered and their modality of presentation were manipulated. Cerebellar patients demonstrated a reduction of the phonological similarity effect relative to controls. Further, this reduction did not…

Dipper, Lucy T.; Black, Maria; Bryan, Karen L. – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2005
In this paper, we reconsider some of the processes that distinguish production and comprehension. In particular, we discuss the specific forms of thinking involved in each: "thinking for speaking" and "thinking for listening" (Black and Chiat, 2000; Slobin, 1996). We argue that thinking for speaking (or for any form of language output) crucially…

Mortensen, Lynne – Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics, 2005
This qualitative study investigated written discourse in the form of personal letters written by ten people with aphasia following stroke and ten people with cognitive-language disorder as a consequence of traumatic brain injury, and compared their performance with 15 non brain-damaged writers. Personal letters perform the dual function of…

Halpern, Casey; Clark, Robin; Moore, Peachie; Antani, Shweta; Colcher, Amy; Grossman, Murray – Brain and Cognition, 2004
Patients with corticobasal degeneration (CBD) appear to have impaired number knowledge. We examined the nature of their number deficit while we tested the hypothesis that comprehension of larger numbers depends in part on verbal mediation. We evaluated magnitude judgments and performance on number conservation measures rooted in Piagetian theory…

O'Grady, William; Lee, Miseon – Brain and Language, 2005
This paper offers evidence for the Isomorphic Mapping Hypothesis, which holds that individuals with agrammatic aphasia tend to have difficulty comprehending sentences in which the order of NPs is not aligned with the structure of the corresponding event. We begin by identifying a set of constructions in English and Korean for which the IMH makes…

Lee, Chia-Lin; Hung, Daisy L.; Tse, John K. -P.; Lee, Chia-Ying; Tsai, Jie-Li; Tzeng, Ovid J. -L. – Brain and Language, 2005
The current study addresses the debate between so-called "structural" and "processing limitation" accounts of aphasia, i.e., whether language impairments reflect the "loss" of linguistic knowledge or its representations, or instead reflect a limitation in processing resources. Confrontation-naming task and category-judgment tasks were used to…

Katz, William F.; Bharadwaj, Sneha V.; Stettler, Monica P. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2006
Purpose: This study examined whether the intraoral transducers used in electromagnetic articulography (EMA) interfere with speech and whether there is an added risk of interference when EMA systems are used to study individuals with aphasia and apraxia. Method: Ten adult talkers (5 individuals with aphasia/apraxia, 5 controls) produced 12 American…

Buckingham, Hugh W., Jr.; And Others – Linguistics, 1975
The linguistic structure of specific introductory type clauses, which appear at a relatively high frequency in the utterances of a severely brain damaged fluent aphasic with neologistic jargon speech, is examined. The analysis is restricted to one fifty-six-year-old male patient who suffered massive subdural hematoma. (SCC)

Whitaker, H. A.; Selnes, O. A. – Linguistics, 1975
How significantly is Broca's Area related to speech? It is considered here to be definitely a component in the language mechanism of the brain. It is also stated that this area is unique to people and that it has no unitary function, yet it is specialized for certain expressive (motor) functions. (SCC)

Legrand-Gelber, Regine – Linguistique, 1975
This article discusses communication as a subject of psycholinguistic study, with reference to amnesiacal aphasia. The aphasic's problem is presented as a rupture of the communicative act, on the linguistic as well as on the extra-linguistic level. (Text is in French.) (AM)
