Assessment
How would you assess a client if you suspect anomia?
BNT or WAB
Mapping therapy is a treatment for ______________ and focuses on the ___________ level of the serial processing model discussed in class.
1. Agrammatism
2. Functional
Which type of aphasia is located in perisylvian region?
Global
SCA focuses on improving functional communication at the discourse level. The focus of this intervention is on training the communication partner, not the person with aphasia. The two general principles of SCA are to acknowledge and reveal the person with aphasia's communication competence. A communication partner can reveal a person with aphasia's competence by saying "I know that you know" and attributing communication breakdowns to themselves.
True
What is the difference between Preservation and a stereotypical utterance?
stereotypical utterance is an inappropriate utterance used across numerous sessions while perseveration is inappropriate continuation of a response after presentation of new stimulus in one session.
Which assessments are good for conduction aphasia?
-PCA, TUF, Cognition, Cueing hierarchies
Anomia is a common deficit observed in many persons with aphasia. Which treatment approach is most appropriate for targeting lexical access in a patient with deficits in their phonological network?
PCA
Which aphasia is non-fluent, has impaired naming, and writing and reading are also impaired?
Broca's
A new client has been assigned to your caseload. You administer the NAVS and find that the client has agrammatic comprehension and production. Which treatment approach(es) will allow you to target agrammatic comprehension and production using the same intervention?
a. Mapping therapy
b. TUF
c. PACE
d.SPPA
a. Mapping Therapy
b.TUF
What is a neologism?
non-word substitution for a target word
If you suspect Wernicke's aphasia, how would you assess them?
WAB & comprehension of single/ sentence, lang. production
Your client has the following goals:
Which treatment will allow you to simultaneously target both goals?
CART
Transcortical Sensory
In order to be diagnosed with PPA, a patient must have aphasia in relative isolation from other cognitive deficits for a period of _____ years.
2
What is the difference between agrammatism and paragrammatism?
agrammatism is primarily produce content words and omit function words. (telegraphic)
paragrammatism: the deviant substitution (or omission) of grammatical morphemes in spontaneous speech production. (Abnormal grammatical structures)
When you arrive in the patient's room, you find that his speech has improved but is still non-fluent and primarily consists of a few content words. You go ahead with your assessment as planned. During the assessment, you find that the patient uses his left arm to produce pointing gestures and to express frustration with his inability to communicate his thoughts.
You suspect that the client may have limited verbal output because of co-morbid apraxia of speech. If this is the case, he may be able to use writing to support communication. Unfortunately, he has right hemiplegia and does not want to use his left hand to write. You decide to use the _________ to assess his non-verbal sentence production abilities.
a.WAB-R
b.NAVI
c.NAVS
d.NAT
NAT
Name all the treatments used for Lexical retreival.
Cueing hierarchies, SFA, PCA, VNEST
Which type of aphasia is fluent, has self corrections, naming is variable and largely intact agrammatism?
Conduction
The anterior portion of the left ________________ is involved in processing semantic information while the posterior portion is involved in comprehending sentences.
a.Broca's area
b.superior temporal gyrus
c.middle temporal gyrus
d.inferior temporal gyrus
middle temporary gyrus
A new client has been assigned to your caseload. The client's verbal expression is fluent, however, you notice they primarily say "I know, I know, I know" when speaking. For example, when you ask them how they are, they respond with "I know, I know, I know" and when you ask them if they have any children they also say "I know, I know, I know." This is an example of:
a.jargon
b.sterotypical utterance
c.anomia
d.semantic paraphasia
b.sterotypical utterance
comprehension & spontaneous speech sample & WAB
What treatments target agrammatism and specify their outcome.
CILT- verbal language production
RET- increase verbal elaboration
Mapping therapy- meaning + sentence structure
TUF- canonical vs. non canonical sent.
SPPA-verbal language production (8sentence types)
A 32-year-old school teacher was admitted to the hospital following sudden onset of slurred and disorder speech. A CT-scan was ordered which revealed an infarct to the left posterior temporal gyrus and inferior parietal lobe. The CT-scan also revealed the infarct to affect the left occipital lobe. You are called to assess this patient. Based on lesion location, you suspect this patient to have which type(s) of aphasia.
a.conduction
b.transcortical sensory
c.Wernicke's
d. B&C
e. all of the above
The _______________ is left lateralized and primarily involved in language _______________.
a.dorsal; comprehension
b.ventral; production
c.dorsal; production
d.ventral; production
c.dorsal ; production
A ________________ may also be used as a communication strategy when a PWA experiences anomia.
a.semantic paraphasia
b. neologism
c. circumlocution
d.phonemic paraphasia
circumlocution
