Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language Development and Aphasia in Children: New Essays and a Translation of Kindersprache und Aphasie by Emil Fröschels deals with problems of theory, method, and therapy as well as the interpretation of language development and aphasia in children. A translation of Emil Fröschels' book Kindersprache und Aphasie into English (Child Language and Aphasia) is included. Comprised of 26 chapters, this book begins with a historical review that illustrates how the ideas of other influential figures laid the groundwork for Child Language and Aphasia (1918), including Géraud de Cordemoy and Denis Diderot. The discussion then turns to the environment that surrounded Child Language and Aphasia and some of Fröschels' observations regarding the nature of aphasia in children. The effect of left hemisphere arteriopathy on communicative intent, expression, and language comprehension in a right-handed nine-year-old girl is also examined. Subsequent chapters focus on theories of reading and language development; the psychology of association; the theory of the transitive contents of consciousness; and stuttering in children and aphasics. This monograph should be of considerable interest to students, researchers, and specialists in the fields of neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics, neuropsychology, and neurophysiology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La prise en charge du patient aphasique a connu ses dernières années de considé-rables avancées. La « philosophie » même de la rééducation a évolué, en se déta-chant d’une remédiation du langage et de la parole issue des conceptions classiques d’un support cérébral organisé en centres, au profit d’une conception en réseaux des activités de langage, et en développant des approches écologiques et pragmatiques traitant au sens large la communication. La rigueur de l’approche en neuropsycho-logie cognitive et de l’approche fonctionnelle se sont ainsi associées pour mettre en place des programmes thérapeutiques personnalisés et adaptés au patient. Cet ouvrage se propose de faire le tour des connaissances actuelles liées aux aphasies, depuis leur compréhension et leur diagnostic jusqu’à leur rééducation. Après un rappel de l’histoire des aphasies et du fonctionnement normal du langage, les auteurs traitent de la démarche diagnostique, évaluation pluridisciplinaire qui s’appuie sur les examens neurologiques, aphasiologiques et neuropsychologiques. Les conduites de rééducations de l’aphasie chez l’adulte sont ensuite développées, non comme une somme de techniques, mais plus comme un cadre de réflexion sur la remédiation en aphasiologie. En fin d’ouvrage, des études de cas permettent d’illustrer et d’appliquer à des situations concrètes l’ensemble des connaissances et des notions abordées. Cette seconde édition propose une mise à jour de l’ensemble des données : les différentes parties ont été revues et étoffées notamment une partie entièrement consacrée à l’intervention orthophonique qui réunit et enrichit les démarches diagnostiques et la rééducation qui était séparées dans la précédente édition. Les illustrations sont également maintenant disponibles en couleur et les études de cas cliniques ont été entièrement renouvelés. Ce livre s’adresse à tous ceux qui s’intéressent à l’aphasie et à sa prise en charge, orthophonistes, neuropsychologues, neurologues, médecins rééducateurs et étudiants.
Download or read book Aphasia and Brain Organization written by Ivar Reinvang and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the work on aphasia coming out of the Institute for Aphasia and Stroke in Norway during its 10 years of existence. Rather than reviewing previously presented work, it was my desire to give a unified analysis and discussion of our accumulated data. The empirical basis for the analysis is a fairly large group (249 patients) investigated with a standard, comprehensive set of procedures. Tests of language functions must be developed anew for each language, but comparison of my findings with other recent compre hensive studies of aphasia is faciliated by close parallels in test meth ods (Chapter 2). The classification system used is currently the most accepted neurological system, but I have operationalized it for research purposes (Chapter 3). The analyses presented are based on the view that aphasia is an aspect of a multidimensional disturbance of brain function. Find ings of associated disturbances and variations in the aphasic condition over time have been dismissed by some as irrelevant to the study of aphasia as a language deficit. My view is that this rich and complex set of findings gives important clues to the organization of brain functions in humans. I present analyses of the relationship of aphasia to neuropsychological disorders in conceptual organization, memory, visuospatial abilities and apraxia (Chapters 4, 5, and 6), and I study the variations with time of the aphasic condition (Chapter 8).
Download or read book Conduction Aphasia written by Susan E. Kohn and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-06-17 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past decade, questions about the clinical classification and experimental examination of aphasic patients have been raised. Growing doubts about the validity and reliability of standard clinical diagnoses have been responsible, in part, for the explosion of case studies in the neurolinguistic literature. In turn, rejection of classical aphasia diagnoses has made it difficult to synthesize much of this literature, and no alternative method for selecting and comparing aphasic patients has emerged. This volume was motivated by a desire to take a fresh look at the benefits that aphasia diagnosis has for both clinical and experimental work. This is accomplished by exploring one classical aphasia syndrome from a multidisciplinary perspective; that is, by presenting information from the disciplines of neurology, speech-language pathology, and experimental neurolinguistics. Given this scope, it is hoped that this work will appeal to an equally broad range of readers.
Download or read book Neurogenic Communication Disorders written by Sakina S. Drummond and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2006 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text is the result of the author's research devoted to the understanding of the relationship between brain functions and communication, as well as years of teaching-learning and clinical experiences. It begins with a review of core concepts relating to the structures and interrelated functions of the brain. This information serves as the precursor to understanding the possible causes and nature of neurogenic communication disorders and related clinical issues. It also includes options for assessing the prevailing communication disorder and highlights the association between the etiologies and underlying neuropathology to overt communication symptoms; the rationale for their presentation is to foster essential critical thinking skills to derive at differential diagnosis and formulate a prognosis for recovery of the identified symptoms. The text selectively focuses on the description of language and cognitive-communication disorders secondary to brain lesions. It aims to guide students and professionals who diagnose, explain, and implement rehabilitation strategies for individuals with acquired neurogenic communication disorders. This objective is reflected in its elaboration of disrupted decoding and encoding of linguistic units such as symbols (words) representing semantics and morphology (meaningful units), and the rules (syntax and pragmatics) for using them during communication. The interconnectivity between language and cognition is stressed through establishing the influence of perceptual and cognitive functions on language/communication modalities of comprehension and production. Contributions from the fields of neuro- and psycholinguistics have been incorporated to help characterize and distinguish disorders such as aphasia, dementia, as well as traumatic brain injury and nondominant (right) hemisphere lesions. The text ends with the offering of diverse management and treatment options that strive to either restore or st

Download or read book Aphasia and Its Therapy written by Anna Basso and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2003-01-09 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first single-authored book to attempt to bridge the gap between aphasia research and the rehabilitation of patients with this language disorder. Studies of the deficits underlying aphasia and the practice of aphasia rehabilitation have often diverged, and the relationship between theory and practice in aphasiology is loose. The goal of this book is to help close this gap by making explicit the relationship between what is to be rehabilitated and how to rehabilitate it. Early chapters cover the history of aphasia and its therapy from Broca's discoveries to the 1970s, and provide a description of the classic aphasia syndromes. The middle section describes the contribution of cognitive neuropsychology and the treatment models it has inspired. It includes discussion of the relationship between the treatment approach and the functional model upon which it is based. The final chapters deal with aphasia therapy. After providing a sketch of a working theory of aphasia, Basso describes intervention procedures for disorders resulting from damage at the lexical and sentence levels as well as a more general conversation-based intervention for severe aphasics. Anna Basso has run an aphasia rehabilitation unit for more than thirty years. In this book she draws on her considerable experience to provide researchers, clinicians, and their students and trainees in speech-language pathology and therapy, aphasiology, and neuropsychology with comprehensive coverage of the evolution and state of the art of aphasia research and therapy.

Download or read book Aphasiology written by George Albyn Davis and published by Allyn & Bacon. This book was released on 2000 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aphasiology: Disorders and Clinical Practice offers perhaps the only balanced and comprehensive presentation of theoretical study and clinical practice of aphasiology. Modern psycholinguistics and cognitive neuropsychology are employed for developing student understanding of diagnosis. Right hemisphere dysfunctions and closed head injuries are reviewed as well as aphasia caused by stroke. Current trends in managed care, functional therapy, and theory-driven treatments are reflected in the presentation of rehabilitation. Structured according to a typical course outline, the book begins with etiology and moves quickly to clinical assessment. It teaches diagnostic thinking with respect to the relationships between symptoms and hidden impairments in cognitive terms. Through this approach, a future clinician should acquire an appreciation for the scientific investigation that supports a clinical discipline. The book's accessible writing style minimizes the intrusion of referencing. The emphasis is on explanation and illustration, rather than on a fastidious inclusion of every study. Tables are used to summarize essential points and to provide historical overviews, while many instructional points are viewed throughout the book including a case study about the story of Martin Exeter and his family, which begins and concludes the book.

Download or read book Spoken Word Production and Its Breakdown In Aphasia written by Lyndsey Nickels and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume combines in-depth reviews of models of spoken word production and cognitive neuropsychological disorders of spoken word production. The first section provides a detailed discussion of the development and structure of current models of language production using data form "normal" subjects. It is these models that form the basis of the study and therefore the text attempts to explain their processing mechanisms and assumptions clearly. The evidence used for the development of these models is described including experimental studies and observation of patterns in naturally occurring speech errors.; The second section focuses on studies of aphasic naming disorders and discusses these disorders in terms of the model described in the first section. The emphasis is on single case studies. These are reviewed in three chapters examining semantic errors and disorders, the range of symptoms attributed to disorders of lexical retriveal and deficits of phonological encoding. The text assumes that the reader has some familiarity with the linguistic and psychological terminology relevant to these areas and therefore is most suited to the graduate student or researcher/lecturer.
