Types of Aphasia
Define Aphasia
a loss of language
What is paraphasis?
error in phonemes, words, or phrases produced unintentionally due to higher-level language disorders.
When a speaker restates/ revises a word in order to produce it error-free?
Self repair
What are the severity levels?
mild, moderate, and severe
List the non-fluent Aphasias
Broca's
Transcortical motor
Mixed Non- Fluent
Global Aphasia
What is the difference between alexia and agraphia?
Alexia: the inability to read
Agraphia: inability to form letters or words
True or False
Preserved language is produced automatically or closely related to a stimulus
False
This definition describes Automatic language
What is the difference between simultaneous and sequential language acquisition?
Simultaneous relies on implicit/procedural memory ex: tying shoes, reading
Sequential relies on explicit/declarative memory
ex episodic memory(personal experiences) and semantic memory (factual information)
Define the fluent Aphasias
Wernickes aphasia: caused by a lesion to wernickes area 22
Conduction aphasia: where there is a lesion in a supramarginal gyrus and the arculate fasciclus
Transcortical sensory aphasia: lesion near Wernickes and include the thalumus
List all the paraphasis
- Neologism
- Semantic
- Unrelated verbal
What are the characteristics of speech disfluencies?
Phoneme repetions
word repitions
part-word repetions
phrase repetions
Prolongations
interjections
True or false
Language 1 may return as the dominant language even if the language 2 was dominant
True
Where is the lesion in conduction Aphasia?
In a supramarginal gyrus and the arcuate fasaclus
Define neologism and give an example.
Producing words 50% unintelligible
ex: someone saying "quean we go to rhe oruwe"
meaning: can we go to the store
Give an example of how you may prompt a client with preserved language?
Possible ex: starting to cue counting 1, 2, 3 and the client catch on and continue counting
What is code-mixing/switching motivated by?
pragmatic factors
ex: social roles, types of discussion
What are the 3 different perspectives of Aphasia? Define them
Neurological perspective: result from a local brain lesion
Cognitive perspective: selective breakdown of language processing
Functional perspective: communication impairment masking inherent competence
Form a possible treatment plan for a patient with Paraphasis
Answers will vary
What modalities of language does Aphasia occur in?
expressive, receptive, reading and writing
List and define the different forms of recovery
Parallel recovery- most frequent, involves simultaneous recovery
Non-parallel recovery- refers to unequal order in the restitution of the language
Differential recovery- both languages are affected but one more than other
Antagnostic recovery- both languages may be altered over a period of time
Selective recovery- only 1 language available after the stroke
