Q

Discrimination using Word Minimal Pairs

A

Auditory Processing

Listen to 2 words & say if they are same/different

If they do well on this task, but do NOT do well on nonword minimal pairs, this implies they’re relying on their SS to make judgments, therefore, AIL will be impaired

Helps determine how much semantic/lexical info is contributing to auditory processing abilities

Q

Minimal Pair Discrimination Requiring Written Word Selection

A

Auditory Processing

Pt shown two words “Pill Bill” and clinian reads a word. Pt has to circle which one clinician says

Tests VAS

Discrimination of words can use lexical processes (and semantic processes)

Compare to non word task to look at the pts reliance on lexical contexts for phonemic perception

Q

Minimal Pair Discrimination Using Picture Selection

A

Auditory Processing

Requires pt to match single heart word with corresponding picture from choice of 3 pictures which are phonologically related

FO3, Say Word, Point to pic that means it (goat, boat, coat)

Tests AAS & SS

If pt has impairment at PIL, the picture distractors will increase likelihood of phoneme errors

Q

Imageability & Frequency Auditory Lexical Decision

A

Auditory Processing

Pt listens to words & non words, judge if word is real or not

Looks at effect of imageability & frequency in deciding whether or not something is a word

Significant effect on imageability in auditory lexical decision, implies that the pt is using SS on which to base a decision

Q

Auditory Lexical Decision & Morphology

A

Auditory Processing

pt says whether word is real or not (e.g. “Happiness” vs. “Happiment”)

If pt makes false + errors, it suggests they can’t judge whether they are legal pairings or not; if morpho errors are also made in Visual Lexical Decision it suggests semantic locus for difficulty, or even an output locus)

If makes morpho errors when tasks presented auditory by NOT visually, it suggests there is a problem at PIL

Tests AIL & morphology

28
Visual Lexical Decision: Regularity
Reading & Spelling All words spelled phonetically Some words are real words and some are not Pt has to say say which are words they recognize as real If pt is only using GPC they will mark words that sound like real words ("brite") that are spelled phonetically instead of their normal irregular spelling ("bright")
29
Homophone Decision/Pseudohomophone Judgment
Reading & Spelling Assesses ability to judge whether 2 written words have the same sound & whether 2 written non words have the same sound in the case of non words, pairs of items may need to be held in the phonological output buffer long enough for a comparison to be made Tests GPC
30
Oral Reading: Letter Length
Reading & Spelling reveals letter length effects in single word reading of real words "please read each word out loud as clearly as you can" Tests Reading Route (VAS --> VIL --> (SS) --> SOL --> PL

32
Oral Reading Imageability x Frequency
Reading & Spelling 4 sets of real words: 1) High imageability - High frequency 2) High imageability - Low frequency 3) Low imageability - Low frequency 4) Low imageability - High Frequency **Imageability effects appear to affect the semantic system and frequency effects indicate reliance on lexical, but not necessarily semantic
33
Oral Reading: Grammatical Class
Reading & Spelling Looks at effects of grammatical word class in reading aloud (N, V, Adj, Functors) grammatical class effects in oral reading has been noted in some acquired dyslexias due to underlying semantic-sytnactic deficits?
34
Oral Reading: Grammatical Class x Imageability
Reading & Spelling Effects of grammatical class when reading aloud with equal imageability Looking at how important imageabiltiy is for reading
35
Oral Reading: Morphological Endings
Reading & Spelling looks at if reading is effected by morphological complexity
36
Spelling-Sound Regularity in Reading
Reading & Spelling Looks at if reading is effected by spelling-sound regularity (can they read phonetically) e.g. "wolf" "yacht" All real words, should be read by lexical route
37
Oral Reading: Non Words
Reading & Spelling monosyllabic 3-6 letter words Tests GPC route
38
Oral Reading: Sentences
Reading & Spelling Tests ability to read written sentences aloud & looks at extent to which it is influenced by syntactic & semantic variables
39
Homophone Definition & Regularity
Reading & Spelling Ability to access meaning of word directly form visual/written form rather than its sound Pt shown written word, asked to define it, then say it aloud Helpful in testing pts who read phonologically Surface Dyslexia (rely on sublexical reading) would have trouble with this task***
40
Spelling to Dictation: Letter Length
Reading & Spelling Spelling to dictation, 3-6 letters, monosyllabic words **If Peripheral Dysgraphia, they will have trouble with grapheme level representations and show length effects in spelling
41
Spelling to Dictation: Imageability x Frequency
Reading & Spelling written spelling to dictation looks for effect of imageability and on frequency on spelling Tests output
42
Spelling to Dictation: Grammatical Class
Reading & Spelling Written spelling to dictation looks at effects of grammatical class (N, V, Adj, Functors) on spelling Also matched for imageability
43
Spelling to Dictation: Grammatical Class x Imageability
Reading & Spelling Nouns and functors are matched for imageability & frequency
44
Spelling to Dictation: Morphological Endings
Reading & Spelling Is spelling affected by morphological complexity?
45
Spelling to Dictation: Regularity
Reading & Spelling Is spelling affected by sound-spelling regularity Regular & irregular words given to spell
46
Spelling to Dictation: Non Words
Reading & Spelling 3-6 letters
47
Spelling to Dictation: Disambiguated Homophones
Reading & Spelling Ability to spell homophones correctly to dictation Meaning of word is also given to disambiguate intended spelling e.g. "bear - large animal with shaggy hair & claws" Tests SS-->GOL
48
Spoken Word-Picture Matching
Picture & Word Semantics Assess semantic comprehension "Point to the picture that matches the word I say" There are 5 pictures, 4 of which are distractors 1) Close Semantic Distractor: from same superordinate category (>errors here indicate high level semantic impairment) 2) More Distant Semantic Distractor: (>errors here indicate more widespread deficit) 3) Visually Similar Distractor:(>errors here indicate perceptual component) if there are > errors then use Pal Trees with written to determine 4) Unrelated Distractor Tests Semantic through Auditory Modality
49
Written Word Picture Matching
Picture & Word Semantics Similar to Spoken Word-Picture Matching - CANNOT give both at same time because same stimuli!!! "Point to the picture that matches the written word" Tests semantic through written modality
50
Difficulty with Spoken AND Written Word Picture Matching??
Indicates central semantic problem
51
Auditory Synonym Judgment
Picture & Word Semantics Judge if 2 spoken words are close in meaning 1/2 words are high imageability and the other 1/2 are low imageability stimuli If >errors with low imageability items, find out if pt makes semantic errors in comprehension
52
Written Synonym Judgment
Picture & Word Semantics Judge if two written words are close in meaning Same as auditory synonym judgment
53
Comparison of Auditory and Written Synonym Judgment
shows central semantic difficulty compared to modality specific processing problem
54
Word Semantic Association
Picture & Word Semantics Select a word that is closely semantically related to another word All written words High & low imageability Fo4
55
Spoken Word-Written Word Matching
Picture & Word Semantics match heard word to corresponding written word correct answers CAN bypass semantic system and be based on information of PGC if overlying on semantics, will see semantic errors! 2 versions of this test: 1) Distractor words are near synonyms of the stimulus word 2) Distractor words are structurally but not semantically related (if >errors here, test auditory input & visual processing)
56
Picture Naming x Oral Reading, Repetition & Written Spelling
Picture & Word Semantics Picture naming, byt allows for comparison on a variety of output forms Can't use more than 1 modality in a test session because same stimuli, but can compare performance to other tests Tests semantics via multiple routes
57
Picture Naming x Frequency
Picture & Word Semantics Effect of word frequency on picture naming abilities
58
Sentence Picture Matching - Auditory Version
Sentence Comprehension Use picture to determine comprehension of heard sentences 4 main types of sentence constructions: 1) Reversible 2) Non-reversible 3) Gapped 4) Converse Performance can also be assessed best on V and Adj For each heard sentence, pt points to picture that corr. best with picture Fo3 Pattern of errors determines which sentence construction of comprehension are impaired Tests semantics & syntax at sentence level
59
Sentence Picture Matching - Written Version
Sentence Comprehension Pt reads the sentence and is shown 3 pictures, pt points to picture that best corr with sentence Person reads sentence SILENTLY Pattern of errors provides information about constructions that are difficult
60
Auditory Comprehension of Verbs & Adjectives
Sentence Comprehension Tests the comprehension of verbs & adj from sentence-picture matching task using a simple Q&A format e.g. "I am going to say a word. Then I am going to say what it means. Sometimes I am right, and sometimes I am wrong. Say yes if you think right, say no if wrong" **if pt performs poorly on this task, test comprehension of single word/pictures
61
Auditory Comprehension for Locative Relations
Sentence Comprehension Uses pictures to test comprehension of locative prepositions in phrases spoken by examiner Fo4: there are 3 distractor pictures and 1 target picture Phrase stimuli consists of 2 referents and the spatial relationship between them Referents may be inanimate, animate, or abstract
62
Written Comprehension of Locative Relations
Sentence Comprehension Client reads written phrase and points to the picture that best fits
63
Pointing Span for Noun/Verb Sequences
Sentence Comprehension Measures processing abilities in phonological STM Only requires pointing response, thus relevant for individuals with speech production difficulties N-V, N-V-NP uses (SV, SVO structures) Length of sentence increases as task continues If pt has a span 5-6+ it is unlikely that PSTM is impaired for sentence comprehension
