Q
Test/known answer questions
A
- PWA can often have trouble initiating topic so test/known answer sequence can be considered as way to involve SWA
- Might remove any potential difficulty for the non aphasic in understanding what the PWA is talking about
- Also limits structure and content of PWA’s turn and lends interaction an institutional rather than informal character
- PWA may not be distressed if can answer
- However may reveal person with aphasia’s impairment and may cause distress (Barnes & Ferguson 14)
- Can cause threat to face/put on spot (Burche)
