Linguistic Processing and Executive Control: Evidence for Inhibition in Broca’s Aphasia
We investigated the hypothesis that inhibition is impaired in a group of Broca’s aphasics relative to a group of language-unimpaired controls. We focused on distractor interference and spatial negative priming (NP) effects, which involve the ability to inhibit (i) distracting information and (ii) irrelevant information that exerts its effect from one trial to the next, respectively. The results...
متن کاملAphasia Therapy in the Age of Globalization: Cross-Linguistic Therapy Effects in Bilingual Aphasia
INTRODUCTION Globalization imposes challenges to the field of behavioural neurology, among which is an increase in the prevalence of bilingual aphasia. Thus, aphasiologists have increasingly focused on bilingual aphasia therapy and, more recently, on the identification of the most efficient procedures for triggering language recovery in bilinguals with aphasia. Therapy in both languages is ofte...
متن کاملProcessing distinct linguistic information types in working memory in aphasia.
BACKGROUND: Recent investigations have suggested that adults with aphasia present with a working memory deficit that may contribute to their language-processing difficulties. Working memory capacity has been conceptualised as a single "resource" pool for attentional, linguistic, and other executive processing-alternatively, it has been suggested that there may be separate working memory abiliti...
متن کاملExploring the processing continuum of single-word comprehension in aphasia.
This study investigated the vulnerability of lexical processing in individuals with aphasia. Though classical teaching of aphasia syndromes holds that people with Broca's aphasia have intact comprehension at the single-word level, the nature and extent of this purported sparing were explored under suboptimal processing conditions. A combination of acoustic distortions (low-pass filtering and ti...
متن کاملWord learning in linguistic context: Processing and memory effects.
During language acquisition, children exploit syntactic cues within sentences to learn the meanings of words. Yet, it remains unknown how this strategy develops alongside an ability to access cues during real-time language comprehension. This study investigates how on-line sensitivity to syntactic cues impacts off-line interpretation and recall of word meanings. Adults and 5-year-olds heard nov...
