Measuring working memory deficits in aphasia.
PURPOSE Many adults with aphasia demonstrate concomitant deficits in working memory (WM), but such deficits are difficult to quantify because of a lack of validated measures as well as the complex interdependence between language and WM. We examined the feasibility, reliability, and internal consistency of an n-back task for evaluating WM in aphasia, then explored the influence of domain-genera...
متن کاملSentence memory in aphasia.
A probe paradigm was used to assess memory for the surface structure of sentences in a group of anterior (Broca’s) and a group of posterior (Wernicke’s) aphasics. Three types of sentences were used: active, passive and center-embedded sentences. Results showed that for both patient groups memory for function words was especially impaired relative to the patient’s ability to recover content word...
متن کاملCognitive deficits in post-stroke aphasia.
The assessment of aphasics' cognitive performance is challenging and such patients are generally excluded from studies that describe cognitive deficits after stroke. We evaluated aphasics' performance in cognitive tasks compared to non-aphasic subjects. A sample of 47 patients (21 aphasics, 17 non-aphasics with left hemisphere lesions and 9 non-aphasics with right hemisphere lesions) performed ...
متن کاملInner speech deficits in people with aphasia
Despite the ubiquity of inner speech in our mental lives, methods for objectively assessing inner speech capacities remain underdeveloped. The most common means of assessing inner speech is to present participants with tasks requiring them to silently judge whether two words rhyme. We developed a version of this task to assess the inner speech of a population of patients with aphasia and corres...
متن کاملGrammatical category-specific deficits in bilingual aphasia.
We report the naming performance of an early and highly proficient Spanish-Catalan bilingual (JPG) suffering from Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA). JPG's performance revealed a grammatical category-specific deficit, with worse performance in naming verbs than nouns. This dissociation was present in oral and written naming and in his two languages, and it seems to stem from damage to, at least,...
