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...
We investigated whether semantic plausibility and syntactic complexity affect immediate sentence recall in people with latent anomic aphasia. To date, these factors have not been explored types of As previous studies recall, we measured accuracy verbatim uniquely real-time speech measures. The results showed that did distinguish performance between aphasia neurotypical controls. However, some the measures distinguished There was evidence, though pervasive, influenced performance. were no...
Verbal short-term memory (STM) and the related ability, working (WM), are widely understood to be integral components of language production comprehension. However, assessment these abilities in people with aphasia is hampered by a lack valid, standardized measures that clinically appropriate. Focusing primarily on verbal STM, we held series five focus groups speech-language pathologists (SLPs) understand better their current clinical practices beliefs attitudes regarding STM aphasia.The...
An experiment was conducted to test the common assumption that amplification produced by outer and middle ear for air-conducted (AC) signals renders perceptual contributions from bone conduction (BC) through skull negligible under typical, free-field listening conditions. To evaluate this possibility, simulated BC reflecting varying levels of attenuation were mixed with original version signal (i.e., in place AC signal). simulate signals, a sawtooth wave (F0 = 43.06 Hz; maximum frequency...
This study evaluated the effects of a linguistic characteristic, typicality, and processing variable, working memory on abilities people with aphasia (PWA) neurologically intact adults to process semantic representations. was accomplished using newly developed assessment task, Category Typicality Test, which created for Temple Assessment Language Short-Term Memory in Aphasia.
