Angela Burda; Courtney Banwart; Madison Engels; Heather Hogelucht; Lauren Lilly; Hallee Mingus; Deepthy Nair; Madison Simon – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2024
Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is an acquired neurological disorder primarily affecting physical and visual functioning. There is a lack of empirical evidence in the existing literature about the nature of speech, language, and cognitive deficits associated with NMOSD. Hence, this case study provides assessment information about a…

Anna Krason; Erica L. Middleton; Matthew E. P. Ambrogi; Malathi Thothathiri – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: This study investigated conflict adaptation in aphasia, specifically whether upregulating cognitive control improves sentence comprehension. Method: Four individuals with mild aphasia completed four eye tracking sessions with interleaved auditory Stroop and sentence-to-picture matching trials (critical and filler sentences). Auditory…

Reem S. W. Alyahya – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: People with aphasia (PWA) typically exhibit deficits in spoken discourse. Discourse analysis is the gold standard approach to assess language deficits beyond sentence level. However, the available discourse assessment tools are biased towards English and European languages and Western culture. Additionally, there is a lack of consensus…

Xin-yan Zhang; Karen Spruyt – Review Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Rett syndrome (OMIM #312750) is a progressive neurodevelopmental disease with clinical manifestations including loss of spoken language and apraxia. We summarized per PRISMA guidelines findings on their non-verbal social skills. Twelve studies (n = 479 females, 1.6-52 years) were sorted into a (non-)interventional design including video-coding,…

Keren Kankam; Laura Murray – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Aphasia, a common consequence of stroke, which affects both communication and social functioning, and in turn, quality of life, is on the rise due to increases in stroke prevalence and survival rate. The rehabilitation of post-stroke aphasia primarily falls within the purview of speech-language pathology and research supports the…

Pamela D'Netto; Emma Finch; Anna Rumbach; David A. Copland – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Endovascular clot retrieval (ECR) is known to reduce global disability at 3 months post stroke however limited research exists regarding the trajectory of specific clinical impairments including language, swallowing and cognitive deficits between onset and 3 months. Aims: To assess language, swallowing, and cognitive performance…

Schwen Blackett, Deena; Harnish, Stacy M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Emotional stimuli have been shown to influence language processing (both language comprehension and production) in people with aphasia (PWA); however, this finding is not universally reported. Effects of emotional stimuli on language performance in PWA could have clinical and theoretical implications, yet the sparsity of studies and…

Luisa Cacciante; Giorgia Pregnolato; Silvia Salvalaggio; Sara Federico; Pawel Kiper; Nicola Smania; Andrea Turolla – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Humans often use co-speech gestures to promote effective communication. Attention has been paid to the cortical areas engaged in the processing of co-speech gestures. Aims: To investigate the neural network underpinned in the processing of co-speech gestures and to observe whether there is a relationship between areas involved in…

Nunn, Kristen; Vallila-Rohter, Sofia; Middleton, Erica L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Increasingly, mechanisms of learning are being considered during aphasia rehabilitation. Well-characterized learning mechanisms can inform "how" interventions should be administered to maximize the acquisition and retention of treatment gains. This systematic scoping review mapped hypothesized mechanisms of action (MoAs) and…

Esch, Barbara E.; Lindblad, Tracie L.; Clark, Brittany; Ali, Zareen – Analysis of Verbal Behavior, 2023
An intraverbal assessment was administered to older adults with aphasia, using a hierarchy of questions that required increasingly complex verbal discriminative stimulus control. Five categories of errors were defined and analyzed for putative stimulus control, with the aim to identify requisite assessment components leading to more efficient and…

Off, Catherine A.; Scharp, Victoria L.; Griffin-Musick, Jenna R. – Topics in Language Disorders, 2023
Purpose: This article characterizes graduate student clinicians' (GSCs') understanding of their roles as stakeholders in clinical implementation and research before participating in an intensive comprehensive aphasia program (ICAP). Method: Seven GSCs participated in a pre-ICAP intervention focus group to characterize their perceived roles in…

Lo, Suzanne Hoi Shan; Chau, Janita Pak Chun – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: People with post-stroke aphasia tend to have smaller social networks, a higher risk of depression and poorer health-related quality of life than those who do not have aphasia after stroke. Stroke-specific or general rehabilitation programmes offered by community-based organizations are commonly group-based and involve discussions among…

Gloria S. Olness; Jennifer J. Kurnal; Thomas G. Broussard Jr.; Faye S. Stillman; Catalina C. Assaad; Leticia M. Garcia; Jodi M. Morgan – Topics in Language Disorders, 2023
Millions of people worldwide have experienced abrupt and traumatic disruption in the flow of their personal life story as a result of stroke and the onset of aphasia. For each one who survives and embarks on the journey toward recovery, their unique and evolving narrative yields gems of wisdom borne of the experience. This wisdom is shared with…

Zhang, Han; Hinzen, Wolfram – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: If language production is impaired, will gestures compensate? Evidence in favor of this prediction has often been argued to come from aphasia, but it remains contested. Here, we tested whether thought content not present in speech due to language impairment is manifested in gestures, in 20 people with dysfluent (Broca's) aphasia, 20…

Gary Robinaugh; Maya L. Henry; Robert Cavanaugh; Stephanie M. Grasso – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of a self-administered naming treatment for one individual, B.N., presenting with semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) and a history of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Method: Naming treatment included components of Lexical Retrieval Cascade Treatment and was…
