Purpose The heterogeneous nature of measures, methods, and analyses reported in the aphasia spoken discourse literature precludes comparison outcomes across studies (e.g., meta-analyses) inhibits replication. Furthermore, funding time constraints significantly hinder collecting test-retest data on outcomes. This research note describes development structure a working group, designed to address major gaps literature, including lack standardization methodology, analysis, reporting, as well...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> The impact of COVID-19 has primarily been studied in the context language delays or developmental disorders infants and children. However, effects on young adults have received less attention. not only affects physical health but also cognitive functions, which is an emerging area research. While previous studies focused stages, abilities healthy remain underexplored. This study aimed to investigate spoken language, particularly story retelling working memory,...
Background: Linguistically motivated treatment protocols like the Treatment of Underlying Forms (TUF: Thompson & Shapiro, 2005 Thompson, C. K. and L. P. 2005. Treating agrammatic aphasia within a linguistic framework: Forms. Aphasiology, 19(10–11): 1021–1036. [Taylor Francis Online], [Web Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) have shown significant success in remediating aphasic individuals' sentence production deficits. However, adults with are not uniform their response to TUF: all individuals...
Purpose The relationship between working memory (WM) and sentence comprehension (SC) has drawn many researchers' attention. current study examined whether healthy older adults have difficulty comprehending potentially WM-demanding garden-path sentences involving syntactic ambiguities, their is predicted by capacity or inhibitory control. Methods Older (n=35, ages 60–89) younger (n=36, 19–33) completed two self-paced reading experiments a battery of cognitive measures (working inhibition...
Background Slowed language production and comprehension in people with aphasia (PWA) is frequently cited as a characteristic of the disorder, even after full recovery. However, results supporting existence slowness are inconsistent mechanisms unclear. Previous research has failed to determine neurocognitive locus slowing whether it due left hemisphere damage, general aging, or language-specific mechanisms. The goals this study are: (1) explore reduced processing speed present specific...
Purpose This study explored the relationship between story retelling and verbal working memory (VWM) in people with aphasia due to left-hemisphere damage (PWA), without (LHD) normal healthy controls (HC). Methods Fifteen age-matched HC fifteen of each, PWA LHD participants were enrolled their performances on Story Retell Procedure (SRP) WM tasks compared tests association difference. The experimental included SRP, where each participant retold three stories, "percent information units per...

Purpose This study examined whether different playing positions of high school football players are associated with impaired memory and auditory comprehension at a sentence level after concussion. The specific research questions 1) there significant differences in on the Immediate Postconcussion Assessment Cognitive Test (ImPACT) between speed-positions group non-speed group, 2) Subtest VIII Computerized-Revised Token (CRTT) group. Methods 36 acutely concussed (Age: M=14.61±1.96, Education:...
Purpose: we investigated whether memory and language abilities differ by sports played (football, basketball, ice hockey) following Sport-Related Concussions (SRCs).Methods: A total of 74 young athletes with mild TBI were enrolled in this study all participants specifically from Sports-Related Concussions. The group mTBI SRCs was divided into three groups the played: football (N=35), basketball (N=19), hockey (N=20).Results: Multivariate Analysis Variance (MANOVA) conducted on two selected...
