Wilson, Stephen M.; Eriksson, Dana K.; Brandt, Temre H.; Schneck, Sarah M.; Lucanie, Jillian M.; Burchfield, Annie S.; Charney, Sara; Quillen, Ian A.; de Riesthal, Michael; Kirshner, Howard S.; Beeson, Pélagie M.; Ritter, Leslie; Kidwell, Chelsea S. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Recovery from aphasia after stroke has a decelerating trajectory, with the greatest gains taking place early and the slope of change decreasing over time. Despite its importance, little is known regarding evolution of language function in the early postonset period. The goal of this study was to characterize the dynamics and nature of…

Mohammad Hossein Haghighi Moghaddam – ProQuest LLC, 2019
The purpose of the current study was to better understand performance variability in sentence comprehension in people with aphasia, compared to a control group of adults. People with aphasia often have difficulty understanding sentences that are complex in structure and meaning. Comprehension difficulty is variable, which may confound the clinical…

Croteau, Claire; McMahon-Morin, Paméla; Le Dorze, Guylaine; Baril, Geneviève – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2020
Background: Communication is at the heart of relationships, especially for couples. When language is altered, as it is in aphasia, communication in couples can be affected. Aims: To explore how members of a couple perceive the impact of aphasia on their communication. Methods & Procedures: Nine French-speaking couples participated in the…

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…

Coran, Monica; Rodriguez-Fornells, Antoni; Ramos-Escobar, Neus; Laine, Matti; Martin, Nadine – Topics in Language Disorders, 2020
Objective: Of current interest in aphasia research is the relevance of what we can learn from studying word learning ability in aphasia. In a preliminary study, we addressed 2 issues related to the novel word learning ability of individuals with aphasia. First, as word learning engages large-scale cognitive-linguistic systems (language skills,…

Background and Objectives: In Italy, approximately 650 individuals receive a diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) every year. Unfortunately, the frequency with which patients are referred to speech-language services is suboptimal, likely due to skepticism regarding the value of speech-language therapy in the context of neurodegeneration.…

van Ewijk, Lizet; Bootsma, Tjitske M. C.; van Rijssen, Maren; ter Wal, Nicole – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: Subjective well-being (SWB) and quality of life (QOL) are intricately related constructs. Recent research shows both constructs share some facets, but are distinct entities. It is unclear, both internationally and in the Netherlands, if and how SLTs address SWB in clinical practice. The current study was set up to explore Dutch SLTs'…

Gordon, Jean K.; Clough, Sharice – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Aphasia fluency is multiply determined by underlying impairments in lexical retrieval, grammatical formulation, and speech production. This poses challenges for establishing a reliable and feasible tool to measure fluency in the clinic. We examine the reliability and validity of perceptual ratings and clinical perspectives on the utility…

Grasso, Stephanie M.; Cruz, Diana F.; Benavidez, Rosa; Peña, Elizabeth D.; Henry, Maya L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: This study examines the utility of Video-Implemented Script Training for Aphasia (VISTA) for improving speech production and fluency in a Spanish-English bilingual speaker with aphasia. Method: In this single-subject, multiple-baseline intervention study, VISTA was utilized to facilitate fluent and intelligible speech through training…

Shafer, Jennifer S.; Shafer, Paul R.; Haley, Katarina L. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2019
Background: Up to 40% of stroke survivors acquire aphasia and require long-term caregiver assistance after discharge from the hospital. Caregivers assume multiple roles as they help people with aphasia to access outpatient rehabilitative care in an increasingly person-centred model of care. Examining caregiver roles and how different stakeholders…

Sharma, Saryu; Briley, Patrick M.; Wright, Heather Harris; Perry, Jamie L.; Fang, Xiangming; Ellis, Charles – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2019
Background: Stroke is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Aphasia is a language impairment which results as a consequence of stroke. Gender differences are reported in underlying mechanisms of stroke, however, gender differences in aphasia type and severity remain unclear. Aims: To examine gender differences in aphasia…

Pompon, Rebecca Hunting; Smith, Alissa N.; Baylor, Carolyn; Kendall, Diane – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Living with the communication impairment of aphasia can be stressful. Chronic stress, depression, and anxiety are intimately linked, may be more pervasive in people with poststroke aphasia than the general population, and may influence cognitive function and treatment outcomes. In this project, we explored the psychological constructs of…

Kristinsson, Sigfus; Yourganov, Grigori; Xiao, Feifei; Bonilha, Leonardo; Stark, Brielle C.; Rorden, Chris; Basilakos, Alexandra; Fridriksson, Julius – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) gene has been shown to be important for synaptic plasticity in animal models. Human research has suggested that BDNF genotype may influence stroke recovery. Some studies have suggested a genotype-specific motor-related brain activation in stroke recovery. However, recovery from aphasia in…

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…

Cheng, Bonnie B. Y.; Worrall, Linda E.; Copland, David A.; Wallace, Sarah J. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2020
Background: Prognostication is a complex clinical task that involves forming a prediction about recovery and communicating prognostic information to patients and families. In aphasia, recovery is difficult to predict and evidence-based guidance on prognosis delivery is lacking. Questions about aphasia prognosis commonly arise, but it is unknown…
