Aphasia is a language disorder caused by brain damage and makes the patient lose or impair skills. One of diseases which often cause people to experience aphasia stroke. In this study, researchers observed characteristics impairment Sarah Scott. She’s young woman suffering from Broca's after This study employed qualitative descriptive method on utterances she produced in SymphUK YouTube channel...

Foreign accent syndrome (FAS) is a rare acquired neurogenic speech disorder characterised by the emergence of an accented speech. The aim of this study is to describe the speech characteristics of LK, a FAS speaker who also shows fatigue and cognitive difficulties. Perceptual as well as acoustic analyses show that LK’s speech characteristics are comparable to those found in the literature, but ...

Evidence for shared processing of structure (or syntax) in language and in music conflicts with neuropsychological dissociations between the two. However, while harmonic structural processing can be impaired in patients with spared linguistic syntactic abilities (Peretz, I. (1993). Auditory atonalia for melodies. Cognitive Neuropsychology, 10, 21-56. doi:10.1080/02643299308253455), evidence for...

Selective deficits in aphasics' grammatical production and comprehension are often cited as evidence that syntactic processing is modular and localizable in discrete areas of the brain (e.g., Grodzinsky, 2000). In this paper, we review a large body of experimental evidence suggesting that morphosyntactic deficits can be observed in a number of aphasic and neurologically intact populations. We p...

After a moderate head injury a 33-year-old woman presented a selective defect in finding verbs and name actions. Objects, colors, body parts, and qualities were named in a normal way. No other associated aphasic defects were observed. It was proposed that the selection and use of verbs in their correct forms implies two different aspects, which eventually can become dissociated: (1) the ability...

Background: A recent review of interaction (or conversation)-focused therapy highlighted the potential of programmes targeting the person with aphasia (PWA) directly. However, it noted the key limitations of current work in this field to be a reliance on single case analyses and qualitative evidence of change, a situation that is not unusual when a complex behavioural intervention is in the ear...

BACKGROUND Grammatical impairments are commonly observed in the agrammatic subtype of primary progressive aphasia (PPA-G), whereas grammatical processing is relatively preserved in logopenic (PPA-L) and semantic (PPA-S) subtypes. AIMS We review research on grammatical deficits in PPA and associated neural mechanisms, with discussion focused on production and comprehension of four aspects of m...
