incorporate multidimensional views and this may be considered a subset of that category of viewpoints

cognitive neuropsychological frameworks of aphasia

Answer 4

based on models of mental representation and types and stages of information processing

biopsychosocial frameworks of aphasia related to the WHO ICF

Answer 5

highlights attention to the complex interaction of multiple factors that constitute “disabilities” and affect health

social frameworks of aphasia

Answer 6

focused on the interpersonal contexts of communication

Question 7

every level of language, from phonology to morphology to syntax to semantics to pragmatics, is included in one cohesive ability or set of abilities

Answer 7

unidimensional frameworks

Answer 8

unidimensional frameworks

Question 9

MTDDA based on which framework?

Answer 9

unidimensional framework

Question 10

helps us to consider each individual with aphasia as having a unique set of challenges requiring individualized assessment that leads to the design of an individually tailored treatment program

Answer 10

unidimensional framework

Question 11

classifications of fluent vs nonfluent, anterior vs posterior

Answer 11

multidimensional framework

Question 12

classic classification systems suggesting specific aphasia syndromes

Answer 12

multidimensional framework

Question 13

strength: recognizes well-established patterns of brain-behavior relationships, which may help us predict particular difficulties w/ language as well as concomitant problems that may affect a person’s communication abilities

Answer 13

multidimensional framework

Question 14

considering the corresponding structural changes in the brain may help us to think critically about why a person is having a particular linguistic problem

Answer 14

multidimensional framework

Question 15

aphasia is considered primarily at the medical level, at the level of specific linguistic deficits

Answer 15

medical framework

Question 16

focus on analyzing the cause in terms of a disease state or change in body structure

Answer 16

medical framework

Question 17

operating from this perspective may be consistent with the viewpoints of other rehab team members and this help an SLP feel more easily understood when communication with others about assessment and plan of care

focused on the processing of linguistic information in particular, subset of cognitive neuropsychological framework

Answer 19

Question 20

PALPA

Answer 20

psycholinguistic theory

Question 21

models of neuroanatomical structures and functions

Answer 21

connectionist models

Question 22

limitation: the components said to be responsible for any particular processing stage cannot capture the complexity of what must really happen in the brain to achieve whatever processing is intended to be captured at that stage

Answer 22

neuropsychological frameworks

Question 23

based on models of mental representation and types and stages of information processing; aphasia may be seen as a disruption of processing required for any linguistic task or set of tasks

Answer 23

cognitive neuropsychological framework

Question 24

consider complex relationship among genetics and other risk factors, etiologies, impaired structures and functions, environmental factors, social support, and a person’s desire for active engagement in varied life contexts

WHO ICF fits this framework

Answer 25

biopsychosocial framework

Question 26

aphasia is seen as a social condition
