Apraxia of speech may co-occur with which type of aphasia? |
Broca's aphasia.
|
|
After word-finding deficits, the next parameter to differentially diagnose the cortical aphasias is |

|
You have been asked to perform an informal assessment of a patient who is still on the acute side of the hospital. After asking him to engage in conversation, name items you have brought (e.g., pencil, cup, comb), point to items in the room, and repeat words and phrases, you determine he has a severe auditory comprehension deficit, is able to repeat, has anomia, and produces fluent paraphasic utterances. Which of the types of aphasia below would you consider the patient to have?
|
Transcortical sensory aphasia |
|
Aprosodia, a loss of the expression and/or reception of prosody, is associated most commonly with: |
Right hemisphere damage. |
|
Injury of the brain at the point of impact in an acceleration injury is known as a _________ injury. |
Coup. |
|
Why is repetition of words and/or phrases impaired in patients with conduction aphasia? |
There is a lesion interfering with the transmission between Broca's area and Wernicke's area. |
|
Atypical cerebral dominance may result in: |
A right hemisphere aphasia. |
|
The inability to remember a period of time before a TBI is called: |
Anterograde amnesia. Retrograde amnesia is the loss of memories for a certain period of time before the injury occurred. |
|
The inability to form new memories and attain new learning for an extended period of time or permanently following a TBI is called: |
Retrograde amnesia Anterograde amnesia occurs when the TBI patient is unable to form new memories and learning for an extended period of time or permanently. Post-traumatic amnesia is secondary to a TBI and may be transitory or permanent, consisting of either anterograde amnesia, retrograde amnesia, or a mixture of both. |
|
There are three types of damage in CHI TBI |
- Coup/Countercoup injury -Focal lesion - Diffuse Axonal Shearing |
|
What two forms of treatment for aphasia |
-Remediation of the problem - stimulation approach
-Compensation of the problem - AAC - Caregiver training |
|
Treatment of linguistic deficits include |
-Word finding -auditory comprehension -Attention
|
|
Treatment for neglect and visospatial processing problems |
Edgeness -recognize boundaries of space applicable to task.
Bookness -attend to the left side; used after edgeness during book reading
|
|
Dementia |
The syndrome which includes progression of memory loss and deterioration of one or more cognitive functions which impedes the ability to perform activities of daily living. |
|
spacial retrieval training |
Allows SLP to teach old and new behaviors or new information to patients with dementia |
|
spared- memory approaches |
allows SLP to focus on the abilities that remain within the patient |
|
Procedural - Memory approaches |
can focus on basic acts of daily living |
|
Errorless Learning |
focuses on new learning by removing "trial and error" learning and trying to reduce the amount of errors made during each lesson. |
