Identifying and Evaluating Apraxic Speech Deficits Using Magnetometry.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An understanding of the relationship of speech and language symptoms to lesions in the frontal region of the dominant hemisphere depends on a fuller description of the speech phenomena than can be provided by transcriptional or acoustic investigation alone. This paper provides examples of how articulatory movement tracking can aid in describing apraxic speech deficits.

Impairments of trunk movements following left or right hemisphere lesions: dissociation between apraxic errors and postural instability.
Stroke patients present with apraxic or postural deficits involving trunk movements. Praxis and posture control have been associated with the functions of the left and the right hemisphere, respectively. For the first time, in this study the occurrence of apraxic and postural components in trunk movement deficits following right and left hemisphere lesions were investigated in the same particip...
متن کاملCharacterizing Covert Articulation in Apraxic Speech Using real-time MRI
We explore the use of real-time magnetic resonance imaging (rtMRI) as a tool to investigate apraxic speech, in particular, by examining articulatory behavior. Our pilot data reveal that covert (silent) gestural intrusion errors (employing an intrinsically simple 1:1 mode of coupling) are made more frequently by an apraxic subject than by fluent speakers. Covert intrusion errors are also found t...
متن کاملCharacterizing Articulation in Apraxic Speech Using Real-Time Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
Purpose Real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and accompanying analytical methods are shown to capture and quantify salient aspects of apraxic speech, substantiating and expanding upon evidence provided by clinical observation and acoustic and kinematic data. Analysis of apraxic speech errors within a dynamic systems framework is provided and the nature of pathomechanisms of apraxic speech...
متن کاملImpaired access to manipulation features in Apraxia: evidence from eyetracking and semantic judgment tasks.
Apraxic patients are known for deficits in producing and comprehending skilled movements. Two experiments tested their implicit and explicit knowledge about manipulable objects in order to examine whether such deficits accompany impairment in the conceptual representation of manipulation features. An eyetracking method was used to test implicit knowledge (Experiment 1): participants viewed a vi...

Objective. To assess the presence of nonverbal and verbal apraxia in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and analyze the correlation between these conditions and patient age, education, duration of disease, and PD stage, as well as evaluate the correlation between the two types of apraxia and the frequency and types of verbal apraxic errors made by patients in the sample. Method. This was an...
