Given that aging is associated with higher risk of cognitive decline and dementia, improving early detection impairment has become a research clinical priority. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) screening instrument used to assess different aspects cognition. Despite its widespread use, norms adjusted the sociodemographics Quebec-French people are not yet available. Such however important because performance on neuropsychological tests varies according sociodemographic variables...

Abstract Background Foreign accent syndrome (FAS) is a rare speech disorder characterized by the appearance of new accent, different from speaker's native language and perceived as foreign speaker listener. In most reported cases, FAS follows stroke but has also been found following traumatic brain injury, cerebral haemorrhage multiple sclerosis. very few was in patients presenting with psychiatric disorders link between this condition confirmed only one case. Case presentation report, we...
Semantic memory tests assess long-term for facts, objects, and concepts as well words their meaning. Since it holds culturally shared information, the development of normative data adjusted to cultural linguistic reality target population is particular importance. The present study aimed establish Pyramids Palm Trees Test, a commonly used test semantic memory, in French-Quebec population. sample consisted 214 healthy French-speaking adults elderly persons from various regions province...
Embodiment has highlighted the importance of sensory-motor components in cognition. Perception and memory are thus very tightly bound together, episodic semantic memories should rely on same grounded traces. Reduced perception then directly reduce ability to retrieve an memory, as normal aging. Multimodal integration deficits, Alzheimer's disease, lead more severe impairment. The present study introduces a new test developed take into account these assumptions. SEMEP (SEMantic-Episodic)...
Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a heterogeneous neurodegenerative condition in which the most prominent clinical feature language difficulties. Other cognitive domains have been described to remain unaffected at early stages of disease and, therefore, excluded from diagnostic criteria. However, we show this article that executive function (EF) disorders may be present 3 variants (nonfluent/agrammatic, logopenic, and semantic) PPA. We also illustrate changes EF by means 3-year behavioral...
Background:Although the use of telepractice in speech–language therapy for assessment purposes is well documented, its effectiveness and potential rehabilitation poststroke aphasia remain largely unknown. The purpose this study was to investigate a remotely delivered synchronous pragmatic telespeech language improving functional communication aphasia. Methods:A pre-/post-test design chosen which each participant his or her own control. Using telerehabilitation platform software (Oralys...
There is no quick, valid, and reliable screening tool in Turkish that can be used for language disorders associated with major neurocognitive (MND). To fill this gap, we designed three distinct studies. In the first study, adapted Detection Test Language Impairments Adults Aged into (DTLA-Tr). second collected data from 175 individuals to determine normative of DTLA-Tr. last investigated psychometric properties DLTA-Tr by comparing 17 healthy patients Alzheimer's disease determining its...
Abstract Objective The mini Social cognition & Emotional Assessment (mini-SEA) is a social battery which assesses theory of mind and emotion recognition. Currently, no psychometrically validated measure with adapted normative data exists for the middle-aged elderly French-Quebec population. This project aims to determine known-group discriminant validity cultural linguistic adaptation mini-SEA between cognitively healthy people, those mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or living Alzheimer’s...
Introduction Normal cognitive aging is identified from pathological through the administration of neuropsychological tests, including tests language ability. Compared to English, available and test batteries for assessing acquired deficits in Turkish speakers are much more limited. This study reports on adaptation generation normative data The Batterie d'Évaluation Cognitive du Langage (BECLA) adult population.
Aphasia is one of the most common and debilitating after-effects a stroke. In acute phase stroke, referrals to speech-language pathology (SLP) are frequently guided by clinical impressions rather than validated tests. This study aimed evaluate advantages incorporating Screening test for language disorders in adults elderly (DTLA) into practice detecting during The includes retrospective prospective component, including questionnaire on acceptability, feasibility usefulness using DTLA...
Anomia is defined by difficulty in retrieving content words like nouns and verbs from long-term memory, independent of any impairments related to articulatory movements or motor speech execution. The tools for measuring picture naming, the conventional method assessing anomia, are very limited Turkey. aim this study was adapt Test de Dénomination Québec-60 images/Quebec picture-naming test-60 pictures (TDQ-60), a color test adults elderly into Turkish, establish its validity, develop...
Introduction: The oral version of the Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT-O) is a prominent measure information processing speed that can help overcome motor difficulties associated with some conditions. According to previous studies, performance on this test influenced by various factors such as age, biological sex, educational level, and cultural background. Objective: This study aimed establish normative data for SDMT-O in middle-aged older French-Quebec people. Method: sample comprised...
Abstract Objective This study aims to establish normative data for the modified Location Learning Test (m-LLT), considering sociodemographic characteristics such as age, sex, and educational level. Materials Methods One hundred eighty-nine middle-aged elderly people aged 50 years older were recruited from French-speaking population in Quebec (Canada). The m-LLT procedure described by Kessels et al. (2006) was used. Percentiles derived performance scores (Trial 1, Total Displacement Score,...
The clinical management of number processing disorders is often overlooked, partly due to the lack standardized assessment tools specifically designed for acalculia. For French-speaking clinicians and researchers, there currently no battery grounded in theoretical models cognitive psychology diagnosing acalculia adults elderly. This study had two main objectives: develop a practical, French-Quebec screening test acquired disorders, provide normative data based on performance younger older...
Abstract Introduction Deficits in inhibition have been associated with various clinical conditions, including neurodegenerative diseases. The Hayling Sentence Completion Test (HSCT) is an assessment tool commonly used settings to measure verbal initiation and prepotent response inhibition. Although it by numerous research groups Quebec, normative data for the HSCT are not yet available French-Quebec speakers. Objectives aims of this study were provide error scoring guidelines adult...
The Grooved Pegboard Test (GPT), commonly used with middle-aged and older adults, assesses fine motor control, psychomotor speed, visuomotor coordination. Previous studies have shown the potential influence of sociodemographic variables on performance for this test. present study aims to develop normative data GPT in elderly Quebec-French population. sample consisted 266 individuals aged 50 90 years from province Quebec. Multiple regression analyses were performed estimate association...
Singing abilities are rarely examined despite the fact that their study represents one of richest sources information regarding how music is processed in brain. In particular, analysis singing performance brain-damaged patients provides key autonomy processing relative to language processing. Here, we review relevant literature, mostly on perception and memory text tunes songs, illustrate lyrics can be distinguished from melody singing, case brain damage. We report a new case, G.D., who has...
Abstract Background: Few studies have addressed rehabilitation in semantic dementia. A potentially promising method is formal‐semantic therapy, which consists of tasks the names concepts and their characteristics are presented. It could also be enhanced by spaced retrieval, a learning improving retention through recalling information after increasing recall intervals. Aims: This study explores efficacy both therapy retrieval to restore lost TBo, woman with Methods & Procedures: The consisted...
