Verbal and non-verbal semantic impairment: From fluent primary progressive aphasia to semantic dementia
Selective disturbances of semantic memory have attracted the interest of many investigators and the question of the existence of single or multiple semantic systems remains a very controversial theme in the literature.

متن کاملNon-verbal semantic impairment in semantic dementia.
The clinical presentation of patients with semantic dementia is dominated by anomia and poor verbal comprehension.

A marked reduction in the ability to generate exemplars from restricted semantic categories (e.g. animals, vehi...
متن کاملRepeat and Point: differentiating semantic dementia from progressive non-fluent aphasia.
To determine whether a new, simple, quick measure, the Repeat and Point test, reliably differentiates between semantic dementia (SD) and progressive non-fluent aphasia (PNFA). Fifteen patients with SD, six patients with PNFA and 18 healthy controls were administered the Repeat and Point test. Participants were required to repeat 10 multi-syllabic concrete nouns and, following each repetition, t...

We present a case of fPPA with neuropsychological and neuroimaing data, not fulfilling the diagnostic criteria for SD. The language disturbance profile is presented, resembling transcortical sensory aphasia. The results of both standardized and experimental test...
