| Question | Answer |
| Aphasia | - acquired disorder - disorder of lang. assoc. w/ brain damage after lang. was acquired - can exist w. absence of speech disorder or even coexist of one - common cause: stroke/brain attack |
| CVA | Any type of blood flow destruction to brain |
| Different Taxonomies (categories) of Aphasia | - structural (location of lesion in brain) - functional (symptoms and location of damage) |
| Connectionists Model of Aphasia | - historical importance - framework for understanding lang. functions in the brain * lesion location -- impairment * neuroanatomical classification |
| Aphasia Assessment | - lang. functions - diagnosis based on performance across diff receptive & expressive lang. components * fluent v. non fluent * reading, writing, comprehension * repetition and naming |
| Reading? | receptive language |
| Broca's Aphasia | - toward front - anterior lesions - non fluent - no repetition - comprehension and awareness is good |
| Do all aphasia's mentioned have repetition? | No |
| Conduction Aphasia | - lesion in the arcuate fasciculus - no repetition - anomia: naming word retrieval - fluent and comprehension |
| Wernicke's Aphasia | - posterior lesions - fluent - no repetition or comprehension in reading and writing - poor awareness - jargon: ppl put stuff together that don't make sense |
| Global Aphasia | - large lesions in anterior & posterior - non fluent - poor production, comprehension, and repetition - entire pathway affected; severity |
| Non fluent v. fluent | If a person can produce language --> important w/ Broca's |
| Reading .....? | Reading - visual writing - visual + motor |
| Right Hemisphere (or Non Dominant Hemisphere) Damage | - flat affect: monotone voice - behavior issues - motivation - attention problems, difficulty in understanding - complex lang. (humor, proverbs) |
| Brain Damage in Dementia | - memory, attention, lang, mood deficits - declarative, biographical, episodic memory may be impaired of lost - lang typically loss of narrative cohesion |
| Episodic Memory | memory of autobiographical events (times, places, associated emotions, and other contextual who, what, when, where, why knowledge) that can be explicitly stated or conjured. It is the collection of past personal experiences that occurred at a particular time and place. |
| Assessment (some basics) | - medical history - language evaluation - functional needs |
| Language Evaluation | - speech fluency - comprehension - repetition - naming - writing, problem solving, memory |
| Functional Needs | - current needs - level of functioning prior - quality of life |
| Treatment for Aphasia | semantic treatment and phonological treatment |
