Gilardone, Giulia; Viganò, Mauro; Costantini, Giulio; Monti, Alessia; Corbo, Massimo; Cecchetto, Carlo; Papagno, Costanza – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: The comprehension profile of people with agrammatism is a debated topic. Syntactic complexity and cognitive resources, in particular phonological short-term memory (pSTM), are considered as crucial components by different interpretative accounts. Aim: To investigate the interaction of syntactic complexity and of pSTM in sentence…

Thiel, Lindsey; Conroy, Paul – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Written communication has become an increasingly important part of everyday life in social, educational and professional spheres. The substantial increase in writing via the internet and mobile technologies provides both an opportunity for social engagement and distinct challenges for people with aphasia. Within the current literature…

Swiderski, Alexander M.; Quique, Yina M.; Dickey, Michael Walsh; Hula, William D. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This meta-analysis synthesizes published studies using "treatment of underlying forms" (TUF) for sentence-level deficits in people with aphasia (PWA). The study aims were to examine group-level evidence for TUF efficacy, to characterize the effects of treatment-related variables (sentence structural family and complexity;…

Stipinovich, Alexandra M.; Tönsing, Kerstin; Dada, Shakila – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: An individual's ability to make autonomous decisions is fundamental to self-determination. The presence of neurological pathology, for example, aphasia, and its associated difficulties with language and/or cognition, may affect an individual's capacity to make decisions, or their ability to reveal their capacity to make decisions.…

Johansson-Malmeling, Charlotte; Wengelin, Åsa; Henriksson, Ingrid – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Introduction: Spelling difficulty is a common symptom of aphasia and can entail editing difficulties. Previous research has shown that extensive editing is related to a lower production rate in text writing for persons with aphasia, yet editing difficulty is not commonly examined. It is not known if editing difficulty is related to reading and…

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…

Finch, Emma; Lethlean, Jennifer; Rose, Tanya; Fleming, Jennifer; Theodoros, Deborah; Cameron, Ashley; Coleman, Adele; Copland, David; McPhail, Steven M. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2020
Background: Speech pathology students can experience low confidence when communicating with people with aphasia. Communication partner training (CPT) is one method to increase confidence and skills when communicating with people with aphasia. There is a paucity of research exploring the effects of delivering CPT to students via technology, such as…

Evans, William S.; Hula, William D.; Quique, Yina; Starns, Jeffrey J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Aphasia is a language disorder caused by acquired brain injury, which generally involves difficulty naming objects. Naming ability is assessed by measuring picture naming, and models of naming performance have mostly focused on accuracy and excluded valuable response time (RT) information. Previous approaches have therefore ignored the…

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…

Silkes, JoAnn P.; Baker, Carolyn; Love, Tracy – Topics in Language Disorders, 2020
This study investigates learning in aphasia as manifested through automatic priming effects. There is growing evidence that people with aphasia have impairments beyond language processing that could affect their response to treatment. Therefore, better understanding these mechanisms would be beneficial for improving methods of rehabilitation. This…

Power, Emma; Falkenberg, Kate; Barnes, Scott; Elbourn, Elise; Attard, Michelle; Togher, Leanne – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2020
Background: Training conversation partners of people with aphasia who use facilitative communication strategies is one method that can improve access to healthcare for people with aphasia. However, the efficacy of communication partner training (CPT) has been investigated almost exclusively in the context of face-to-face (F2F) delivery. Online…

Ichikowitz, Kerri; Bruce, Carolyn; Meitanis, Vanessa; Cheung, Kelly; Kim, Yekyung; Talbourdet, Esther; Newton, Caroline – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: People with aphasia (PWA) can experience functional numeracy difficulties, that is, problems understanding or using numbers in everyday life, which can have numerous negative impacts on their daily lives. There is growing interest in designing functional numeracy interventions for PWA; however, there are limited suitable assessments…

Background: Evidence-based recommendations for a core outcome set (COS; minimum set of outcomes) for aphasia treatment research have been developed (the Research Outcome Measurement in Aphasia--ROMA, COS). Five recommended core outcome constructs: communication, language, quality of life, emotional well-being and patient-reported…

Stark, Brielle C.; Dutta, Manaswita; Murray, Laura L.; Fromm, Davida; Bryant, Lucy; Harmon, Tyson G.; Ramage, Amy E.; Roberts, Angela C. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Spoken discourse analysis is commonly employed in the assessment and treatment of people living with aphasia, yet there is no standardization in assessment, analysis, or reporting procedures, thereby precluding comparison/meta-analyses of data and hindering replication of findings. An important first step is to identify current practices…

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…
