Atypical associations to abstract words in Broca's aphasia.
INTRODUCTION Left frontal brain lesions are known to give rise to aphasia and impaired word associations. These associations have previously been difficult to analyze. We used a semantic space method to investigate associations to cue words. The degree of abstractness of the generated words and semantic similarity to the cue words were measured. METHOD Three subjects diagnosed with Broca's ap...
متن کاملAbstract Word Deficits in Aphasia: Evidence From Semantic Priming
Word Deficits in Aphasia: Evidence From Semantic Priming L. K. Tyler, H. E. Moss, and F. Jennings Birkbeck College, University of London J.G. and D.E. are nonfluent aphasic patients who appear to have selective problems with abstract words on a variety of standard tests. Such a pattern would normally be interpreted as indicating a central semantic deficit for abstract words. The authors show th...
متن کاملAphasia in Atypical Populations
Was Leborgne—the first Broca's patient—a member of a typical population? As far as we can learn from Broca's writings (Broca, 1861) he was a patternmaker until the age of 30 when he became aphasic. The only statement concerning his background is that 'he could not write because his right hand was paralysed'. Maybe we can assume that he was right handed, a French speaker, not bilingual and had a...
متن کاملAtypical Kawasaki Disease Presenting with Hemiparesis and Aphasia: A Case Report
Kawasaki disease (KD) is an inflammatory vasculitis. KD is classified into two groups based on clinical characteristics criteria, namely classic and incomplete. Cerebral vascular abnormality, especially arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) is very rare and unusual in KD. Here, we report a 4-year-old boy who was referred to our tertiary pediatric center with abrupt right hemiparesis and aphasia. At ad...
متن کاملChem2Bio2RDF Dashboard: Ranking Semantic Associations in Systems Chemical Biology Space
Semantic Web technology has had a significant impact in scientific collaboration as it provides a common platform to integrate heterogeneous data sources and reasoning capabilities for knowledge discovery. In the biomedical science domain, more and more data providers are providing data in formats that are readily converted to Semantic Web formats, and this has resulted in some early initiative...
