The Role of Cognitive Functions in Communication: The Case of Traumatic Brain Injury
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between cognitive functions such as attention, working memory, long-term memory, planning, i.e. executive functions, theory of mind, and pragmatic deficits resulting as a consequence of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Communicative disorders represent a typical outcome in TBI patients, even if their linguistic abilities remain virtually intact. We empirically investigated the role played by the possible cognitive deficits in patients’ communicative performance. In addition to the factors mentioned in the current literature, such as planning and theory of mind, our results show the importance of considering the increasing complexity of the mental representations underlying different pragmatic phenomena in order to better understand the communicative outcomes after TBI.
