Discourse Impairments Following Right Hemisphere Brain Damage: A Critical Review
Right hemisphere brain damage (RHD) rarely causes aphasias marked by clear and widespread failures of comprehension or extreme difficulty producing fluent speech. Nonetheless, subtle language comprehension deficits can occur following unilateral RHD. In this article, we review the empirical record on discourse function following right hemisphere damage, as well as relevant work on non-brain dam...
متن کاملReorganization of syntactic processing following left-hemisphere brain damage: does right-hemisphere activity preserve function?
The extent to which the human brain shows evidence of functional plasticity across the lifespan has been addressed in the context of pathological brain changes and, more recently, of the changes that take place during healthy ageing. Here we examine the potential for plasticity by asking whether a strongly left-lateralized system can successfully reorganize to the right-hemisphere following lef...
متن کاملComparison of right hemisphere damage patients and normal adults in some linguistic performances
Introduction: According to some evidence, damage to the right hemisphere leads to impaired linguistic and cognitive functions. Patients with right hemisphere damage (RHD) experience difficulties at different levels of language. Assessing and diagnosing language disorders in RHD patients help to plan treatment programs. Therefore, the present study investigated some of the language functions in ...
متن کاملTreating Metaphor Interpretation Deficits Subsequent to Right Hemisphere Brain Damage: Preliminary Results.
PURPOSE: This investigation sought to determine whether a structured intervention focused on improving use of semantic associations could improve patients' ability to provide oral interpretations of metaphors following Right Hemisphere Damage (RHD). METHODS: Principles of single subject experimental design provided the basis for the study. Five patients received either 10 or 20 baseline assess...
متن کاملPerspectives on treatment for communication deficits associated with right hemisphere brain damage.
PURPOSE To describe the current treatment research for communication (prosodic, discourse, and pragmatic) deficits associated with right hemisphere brain damage and to provide suggestions for treatment selection given the paucity of evidence specifically for this population. METHOD The discussion covers (a) clinical decision processes and evidence-based practice; (b) a review of right hemisph...
