Disorders
The Aphasias
100
Speech signals first travel to Heschel's gyrus in the primary auditory area of this lobe
Temporal Lobe
100
These disorders/problems are also characterized by language impairments (name at least 2)
Mental retardation Autism Developmental delay Reading disorders Schizophrenia Childhood psychosis Hearing loss Physiological problems
100
Manipulating the sounds of language (e.g., blending sounds, substituting sounds)
Phonological processing
100
A disorder that manifests itself after language has already been developed
Acquired language disorder
100
I....went....there....when....looked....dog
Broca's aphasia
200
Recognition of 44 English phonemes occurs in this lobe
Temporal Lobe
200
Rapid Letter Naming and Rapid Digit Naming on the CTOPP are both part of which composite
Rapid Naming
200
Ability to listen to and understand language
Receptive language
200
A disorder characterized by failure to develop normal language or the development of deviant language patterns
Developmental language disorder
200
The green nail sits on the chicken leg yesterday we ate polka dots
Wernicke's aphasia
300
Further interpretation of speech signals occurs in this area
Wernicke's area (temporal lobe)
300
Verbal Fluency (D-KEFS), Repetition of Nonsense Words (NEPSY II) and Speeded Naming (NEPSY II) measure this aspect of language
Expressive language
300
Ability to express thoughts (in writing or in speech)
Expressive language
300
Children develop deviant patterns of producing phonemes (problem persists after age 6) may have this disorder
Articulation disorder
300
All language functions are impaired
Global aphasia
400
The supramarginal gyrus (located in the parietal lobe) is involved in which process
Phonological processing (e.g., sound blending)
400
Listening Comprehension (KTEA II, WIAT) and Comprehension of Instructions (NEPSY II) measure this aspect of language
Receptive language
400
In order to diagnose a child with a language disorder, these exclusionary criteria must be met (name at least 2)
mental retardation severe environmental deprivation speech-motor or sensory deficits known brain injury or other psychological diagnosis
400
Disorder characterized by stuttering
Fluency disorder
400
Saying "greed" instead of "great," speeded naming tasks difficult
Conduction aphasia
500
Area involved in matching sounds to symbols
Angular gyrus
500
These 2 core subtests from the CTOPP measure phonological processing
Elision Blending Words

These are examples of DSM-IV language disorder diagnoses (name at least 2)
Expressive Language Disorder (315.31) Mixed Receptive-Expressive Language Disorder (315.32) Phonological Disorder (315.39) Stuttering (307.0)
500
Disorder characterized by poor motor programming for speech (child cannot properly make movements associated with speech)
Speech apraxia disorder
500
Sensory, motor, and mixed aphasia are all examples of this type of deficit
Subcortical aphasias
