Aphasia Flashcards
Constraint Induced Aphasia Therapy
PULVERMUELLER ET AL 2001
- Sentence/discourse treatment
- Improves comm by targeting challenging utterances
- No gestures drawing etc
- Good efficacy and generalization: shown to improve comm & AC in a short pd of time
- also a good group tx
Ellis and Young
Psycholinguistic Model
Melodic intonation therapy
SCHLAUG MARCHINA NORTON 2010
- Improves EL And fluency by utilizing melody and rhythm
1. Begin c hum/hand tap. Fade hum, cont tap
2. Add Lang: SLP models production of word c same inton & tapping, fades verbal participation
3. Pt tries independently c SLP tap ( phon cues if needed)
4. SLP models s tap. Pt imitates - *Sig improv In #CIUs in spont speech, pic desc, &naming
Oral Reading Language and Aphasia treatment
ORLA
CHERNEY 2004
- For any type of dys
- RC for phon&s reading
- Improves RC && VE AC WE
Anagram and Copy (ACT) tx
BEESON 1999
1. Pt shown pic &writes word.
2. If incorrect SLP presents letters out of order-pt must put in correct order
>X=SLP arranges Letters. Pt spells 3x. Repeat #2
>=Pt spells 3x. Move to 3
3. Pt spells letters+2 foils
>X=SLP arranges Letters. Pt spells 3x. Repeat #2
>=Move to #4
4. Patient writes word from recall
Copy and Recall therapy (CART)
BEESON 1999
- Pt shown pic of target word & attempts to write name
- If wrong, SLP provides written model of word.
- Pt copies 3x
- SLP removes all copies & Pt writes word from recall
Semantic feature analysis
(SFA)
BOYLE & COELHO 1995
- Pt names pic & id SF (character., function, category etc)
- Strengthens semantic networks (single word)
- 7/7 e/d, 1hr x 7; 3 sets 9/7 d/e, 1 hr x 9.
- Pt Assisted. if needs more help, SLP writes the feature
- Generalized to untrained words and connected speech tasks
Phonological components analysis (PCA)
LEONARD ET AL 2008
- Strengthens associations bw semantic &phon reps
- Pt names pic & 5 phono features (Rhymes with, 1st sound, last sound sound associate, syllables)
- Couple with SFA to increase saliency
Group Treatment
WERTZ ET AL 1981
- rct comparedIndiv tx to grp (Discuss current events no direct Lang tx)
- Found Indiv TX more effective but group TX was valuable for social participation in a Relatively naturalistic environment
- Cost-effective alternative
Script training
Holland
- Train automatic lang production
- Drill and repetition
- pt selects personally relevant topic
- pt/ SLP create brief script
- SLP segments script into phrases
- pt memorizes script c cues
- After 1 phrase mastered move to the next
- Later generalize to novel convos
Visual orthographic analysis tx
GREENWALD AND ROTHI 1998
Spoken naming of written letters
Multiple oral reading tx
BEESON 1998
- facilitates whole word reading rather than letter by letter reading
- Improve/reestablish access to orthographic input lexicon
Sub lexical spelling procedures
HILLIS 1986
- Phonological dysgraphia tx
- Strengthen GPC
- Improves access to written words
- Select grapheme targets & assign words for each letter
- “Write the letter for /S/” (3-5 rep)
- “Write the 1st letter in ‘snake’”
Verb network strengthening treatment
VNest
EDMONDS 2005
-verb production & sent comp strongly correlated… May generalize to production
-found changes in sent production for trained and untrained semantically related verbs (improved connected speech)
-PT produces 3 agent verb pairs (write= author/story)
-Choose 1 pair & answer WH?
(Does a journalist write?)
-SLP reads 12 sent c target verb. PT decides if its semantically correct (The infant writes a poem)
Sentence ordering approach
BYNG 1998
-Verb centered mapping therapy
(Canonical & noncan; written sent)
**Generalization to production
-Assign agent & thematic roles
-Present content words in anagrams c syntactic frame
-pt puts content words in frame to match pic
-asked q: “Which one is doing the chasing?” “Who is she chasing”
Phonological dyslexia
- Cannot use GPC (Only semantics and whole word)
- Poor nonwords
- CAN read irregular words (depending on word freq)
- Often has problem with function words and bound morphemes
Phonological Dysgraphia
- Can’t use PGC route
- Can’t spell nonwords
- Can’t produce letter association with sound
- Must generate spelling from semantics
Surface dysgraphia
Can’t use direct lexical route
Can use PCG route-Can spell nonwords
-Errors on irregular spellings (Frequency effect)
-Regularization errors
-may be some access to the system(Not an all or nothing type thing)
Surface dyslexia
- lesion on direct lexical route
- GPC INTACT. Can read nonwords
- CANNOT read irreg words
- may be able to understand reg words
- visual errors suggests lesion is higher on model (eg OIL)
- understanding words (s)
- output prob (POL)
Deep dyslexia
- lesion to direct and GPC route
- worse wih function words, abstract words
- visual, semantic errors
- better w high freq concrete words
BDAE HOMOPHONE MATCHING TASK
- Assesses direct route, no semantics needed
- requires intact OIL (to rec string of letters as familiar word) and POL (to determine which words sound the same)
- uses OIL instead of GPC bc uses irreg words
- good score on this task means intact VOA, OIL, POL.
- poor score doesn’t tell you as much… Lesion could be anywhere on the route
Which aphasia syndrome may have a relative strength in written Lang
Transcortical sensory / Motor
Nature of semantic errors
- More distant semantic errors implies more severe deficit
- Even spread of errors implies inattention or severe semantic impairment
- Visually similar errors may imply a visual perceptual element
- Consider imageability and category of sex
An impaired semantic system means…
- IMPAIRED spoken naming and comprehension
- INTACT Oral reading and repetition (don’t require semantic system)
RCBA
Criterion referenced test
- Adults with college education would answer all q correctly
- passages written at 8th grd reading level
