Aphasia Flashcards
pragmatics
social rules we follow when we talk
- taking turns in convo
- how to talk to diff people
- how close to stand to someone when speaking
which side of the brain would have pragmatic deficits if there was a lesion
right
lexicon
vocabulary of language
semantics
language system that refers to the meanings of words
syntax
grammar of a language determines the sequence of words that are acceptable in the formation of sentences
prosody
stress and intonation used in language to help make distinctions between questions, statements, expressions of emotions, shock, exclamations etc.
how is CN5 involved in speech
sensation of face
how is CN7 involved in speech
movement of facial muscles
how is CN9 involved in speech
tongue involved
how is CN10 involved in speech
elevation of palate
phonation
swallowing
how is CN12 involved in speech
movement of tongue
brocas area
motor programming for articulation
expression of language
frontal lobe
primary motor cortex is important for what when we speak
activation of muscles for articulation
dorsal of frontal lobe
arcuate fasciculus
transmission of linguistic information to anterior areas from posterior areas
connect brocas and wernicke’s
angular gyrus
- integrates visual, auditory and tactile information and carries out symoblic intergration for reading
- parietal lobe
wernickes area
- comprehension of oral language
- temporal lobe
supramarginal gyrus
- symbolic integration for writing
- parietal lobe
aphasia
- neurogenic language disorder
- complex process of comprehending and formulating verbal messages
what is aphasia NOT
- developmental disorder
- dysarthria
- apraxia
what language modalities can aphasia occur in
- expressive
- receptive
- reading
- writing
expressive aphasia associated with what lesions
anterior lesions
receptive aphasic associated with what lesions
posterior lesions
what are naming tasks
- visual confrontation
- word retrieval/finding
- measuring the ability to generate words
- use more functional items instead of flashcards
speech sample
- spontaneous conversation
- analyzed for fluency of output, effort, articulation, phrase length, prosody, word substitutions and omissions
- “orientation questions”
how do you utilize repetition in aphasia tests
- different targets
- use digits, single words, sentences to see if the pt can continously say them
comprehension of spoken language involves what
- item identification
- yes/no questions
- 1 step commands to more complex 2 step
fluent speech
rate of speech, length of utterance, ease of production, prosody
llogorrhea
produces lots and lots of speech
pressed for speech
person seems compelled to keep going, getting out lots of ideas through fast and continuing ideas
non-fluent speech
- rate is slow with long pauses
- utterances are short
- speaking seems effortful
- prosody lost
- brocas aphasia
- anomia
when a pt is doing a volitional repetition task, the result can be assessed and characterized by what
paraphasia
paraphasia
production of unintended sound in a word, or a whole word or phrase
