Production and Comprehension of Time Reference in Korean Nonfluent Aphasia
OBJECTIVES Individuals with nonfluent agrammatic aphasia show impaired production and comprehension of time reference via verbal morphology. However, cross-linguistic findings to date suggest inconsistent evidence as to whether tense processing in general is impaired or time reference to the past is selectively difficult in this population. This study examined production and comprehension of ti...
متن کاملMapping therapy for sentence production impairments in nonfluent aphasia.
This study investigated a new treatment in which sentence production abilities were trained in a small group of individuals and nonfluent aphasia. It was based upon a mapping therapy approach which holds that sentence production and comprehension impairments are due to difficulties in mapping between the meaning form (thematic roles) and the syntactic form of sentences. We trained production of...
متن کاملUse of Drawing to Improve Word Retrieval in Chronic Nonfluent Aphasia
Aphasia disrupts multiple language processes with anomia often being the most common problem. Compensatory strategies have been utilized for individuals with severe anomia, including writing, gesturing, and drawing (Farias, Davis, & Harrington, 2006). However, few formal programs have focused on promoting drawing as a means of communication. These typically use drawing as a substitute for langu...
متن کاملAn open-label trial of bromocriptine in nonfluent aphasia.
Anomia is a commonly found in aphasia and has been attributed to a loss of representations (storage deficit) or to a loss of access to these representations (retrieval deficit). Bromocriptine, a dopamine agonist, was tested on four patients, two men and two women, with nonfluent aphasia. The patients were tested in an open-label ABBA design using a stochastic model that measured the degree of s...
متن کاملWhy are patients with progressive nonfluent aphasia nonfluent?
OBJECTIVE To investigate the cognitive and neural basis for nonfluent speech in progressive nonfluent aphasia (PNFA). BACKGROUND Nonfluent speech is the hallmark feature of PNFA, and this has been attributed to impairments in syntactic processing, motor-speech planning, and executive functioning that also occur in these patients. Patients with PNFA have left inferior frontal atrophy. METHOD...
