Chapter 3: A Framework for Investigating Syntactic Comprehension Deficits in Parkinson's Disease
In order to investigate syntactic comprehension deficits in PD, or for that matter in any clinical population or individual brain-damaged patient, a detailed theory of the normal syntactic comprehension system is necessary, since it provides the essential frame of reference for identifying and specifying disorders. For this reason, the goal of this chapter is to delineate the architecture of th...
متن کاملSentence comprehension deficits in Alzheimer's disease: a comparison of off-line vs. on-line sentence processing.
Two studies explored whether sentence comprehension impairments in Alzheimer's disease (AD) are due to deficits in syntactic processing or memory. Study 1 used a picture-pointing sentence comprehension task to measure the final outcome of comprehension in an off-line fashion. It showed the comprehension of 30 patients with AD to be impaired, but suggested that the deficits could not be attribut...
متن کاملEffects of Voluntary Exercise on Motor Function in Parkinson\'s disease Model of Rats
Background. Previous surveys have shown that motor deficits precede the classical motor symptoms seen in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and that physical exercise may have beneficial effects on PD. Objectives. Here, we evaluated the potential of voluntary exercise to improve motor deficit in experimentally-induced Parkinson’s disease (6-OHDA) rats. Methods. Forty adult Wistar rats were ...
متن کاملP181: Effect of Aquatic Therapy on Improvement of Patients with Parkinson Disease: A Systematic Review
Parkinson disease (PD) is a degenerative neurological disorder that affects 0.5- 1% of old people in western countries. It primarily affects mobility function, and associated with increasing disability over time. People with PD express bradykinesia, rigidity, tremor, progressive postural instability and muscle weakness as symptoms of PD. Various exercise programs, including resistance or aerobi...
متن کاملThe Effect of Reducing Lexical and Syntactic Complexity of Texts on Reading Comprehension
The present study investigated the effect of different types of text simplification (i.e., reducing the lexical and syntactic complexity of texts) on reading comprehension of English as a Foreign Language learners (EFL). Sixty female intermediate EFL learners from three intact classes in Tabarestan Language Institute in Tehran participated in the study. The intact classes were assigned to three...
