True/False
In right hemisphere injuries, language is typically spared.
True.
RHI affect social behaviors, attention deficits, and may have hemispatial and hemibody neglect.
True/False
In an Ischemic Penumbra stroke, tissue surrounding the core of the stroke is still receiving blood flow from other vessels.
True
surrounds the ischemic core; too much blood lost to function, but is still receiving enough blood to stay alive; damage to penumbra can be reversed within 2-4 hours of medical attention. Note: Tissue still receiving blood flow from other vessels
True/False
A Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) is a mini-stroke that often leads to aphasia.
False.
It’s a mini-stroke; small ischemia in the brain that resolves itself within 24 hours.
Paraphasia. What type is it when:
Word produced is entirely different and more than 50% unintelligible
e.g., “dowfler” for “pencil”
Neologism/neologistic paraphasia (also called“jargon”)
What is the role of the phonological input buffer?
A) discriminates incoming sounds in words
B) temporary storage for incoming words
C) buffers incoming phonemes to help produce those phonemes
B) temporary storage for incoming words
What is it when connections between neurons are broken, caused by tearing of the axon. Usually there is generalized damage to the brain and brainstem.
If the reticular formation of the brainstem is damaged, PTs struggle with arousal, resulting in vegetative states or coma.
Diffuse Axonal Injury
Stroke
What type of stroke is it when a blood vessel bursts within the brain?

Neuropsychiatric disorders.
The inability to recognize/realize they have deficits is:

B) fregoli delusion
C) pride
D) anosognosia

Paraphasia. What type is it when:
Substitution of one word for another word that is not similar in meaning
