Purpose This study was undertaken to explore whether measures of verbal short-term memory and working are sensitive impairments in people with latent aphasia, who score within normal limits on typical aphasia test batteries. Method Seven individuals 24 neurotypical control participants completed 40 tasks from the Temple Assessment Language Short-term Memory Aphasia (TALSA) that assess various aspects memory, language processing. Subtests were identified differentiated between two groups...
Purpose An increasing number of anomia treatment studies have coupled traditional word retrieval accuracy outcome measures with more fine-grained analysis errors to allow for comprehensive measurement treatment-induced changes in retrieval. The aim this study was examine picture naming after phonomotor treatment. Method Twenty-eight individuals aphasia received 60 hr treatment, an intensive, phoneme-based therapy anomia. Confrontation assessed pretreatment, immediately posttreatment, and 3...
Purpose: Aphasia treatment should be individualized, so clinicians are likely modifying established paradigms to fit client needs. Little extant research describes which protocols modify, how and why they modify their treatments, what sources use guide modifications. The purpose of this study was gain insights into these issues. Method: A Qualtrics survey distributed through speech-language pathology–related professional social media networks from January June 2023. Forty-seven pathologists...
Purpose A significant relationship between verbal short-term memory (STM) and language performance in people with aphasia has been found across studies. However, very few studies have examined the predictive value of STM treatment outcomes. This study aims to determine if can be used as a predictor success. Method Retrospective data from 25 larger randomized controlled trial phonomotor were analyzed. Digit word spans immediately pretreatment run multiple linear regression models whether they...
