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 کاملConversation after right hemisphere brain damage: motivations for applying conversation analysis.
Despite the well documented pragmatic deficits that can arise subsequent to Right Hemisphere Brain Damage (RHBD), few researchers have directly studied everyday conversations involving people with RHBD. In recent years, researchers have begun applying Conversation Analysis (CA) to the everyday talk of people with aphasia. This research programme has provided novel insights into the complex inte...
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 کاملContextual Constraint Treatment for coarse coding deficit in adults with right hemisphere brain damage: generalisation to narrative discourse comprehension.
Coarse coding is the activation of broad semantic fields that can include multiple word meanings and a variety of features, including those peripheral to a word's core meaning. It is a partially domain-general process related to general discourse comprehension and contributes to both literal and non-literal language processing. Adults with damage to the right cerebral hemisphere (RHD) and a coa...
