Purpose Research on the diagnostic accuracy of different language measures has focused primarily English. This study examined sensitivity and specificity a range knowledge processing for identification primary impairment (PLI) in French-speaking children. Because lack well-documented French, it is difficult to accurately identify affected children, thus research this area impeded. Method The performance 14 monolingual children with confirmed, clinically identified PLI ( M = 61.4 months age,...
Abstract Pursuing cognitively stimulating activities, such as engaging with art, is crucial to a healthy lifestyle. The current work simulates visits an art museum in laboratory setting. Using eye tracking, we explored how linguistically guided visual search may increase attention, enjoyment and retention of information when viewing art. Two groups adults, young (under 35 years) older (over 65 viewed ten paintings on computer screen presented either or without accompanying audio-guide, while...

Children or normal (controls) aged 7 13 years were recruited. underwent assessment (Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals-4, Peabody Picture Vocabulary-3, Goldman-Fristoe Test Articulation-2), cognitive (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-IV), (Movement Assessment Battery Children)....
The health-related quality of life school-aged children with high-functioning autism is poorly understood. objectives this study were to compare the that typically developing peers and child-self parent-proxy reports children. A cross-sectional ( n = 30) 31) was conducted using Pediatric Quality Life Inventory 4.0 Generic Core Scales. Children had significantly poorer than whether reported by themselves p < .001) or their parents .001), although disagreement (intra-class coefficient...
The psychometric properties of assessments must be established for specific populations. the Children's Assessment Participation and Enjoyment/Preference Activities Children have been studied only in a sample children with physical disability. We conducted study to determine appropriateness drawing inferences from this assessment high-functioning autism (HFA). content validity test-retest reliability (r > .7) were both found adequate population. Parents' agreement most their children's...
There is growing interest in language barriers health care (LBHC) – interest, that is, how the quality of service delivery might be compromised when patients and providers do not share same first language. This article discusses LBHC as an emerging research area provides valuable opportunities for researchers various branches sciences including, among others, applied linguistics, theoretical psycholinguistics, second acquisition to conduct basic make contributions socially important medical...
Background and Purpose— Aphasia can result in an inability to communicate the presence, location, or intensity of pain. Although visual analogue scales (VASs) exist, it is unknown whether they are useful assessing pain individuals with aphasia. The objective was determine those poststroke aphasia could respond differentially thermal stimuli varying intensities using a standardized VAS. Methods— Five groups participants were assessed: without stroke, stroke but aphasia, 3 degrees A 10-cm...
Communities of practice (CoP) can facilitate collaboration between people who share a common interest, but do not usually work together. A CoP was initiated and developed including stakeholders from clinical, research, community governmental backgrounds involved in large multidisciplinary multi-sectorial project: the Rehabilitation Living Lab Mall (RehabMaLL). This study aimed to evaluate structure, process outcomes this CoP. single case-study, using mixed-methods, evaluated RehabMaLL...
Background and Purpose While individuals with stroke are known to experience pain for a variety of reasons including premorbid conditions stroke-specific sequelae, there some groups stroke, who because aphasia, unable express their pain.
