Download or read book La compr hension auditivo verbale chez les traumatis s craniens graves written by Laetitia Claireux and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les traumatismes crâniens graves peuvent entraîner des séquelles neuropsychologiques telles que les troubles de la mémoire, de l'attention, des fonctions exécutives et du comportement et de la personnalité. Ces déficits ont fait l'objet de nombreuses recherches contrairement aux troubles de la compréhension du langage oral, qui ont été peu étudiés. Cependant, de telles difficultés peuvent également survenir après un traumatisme crânien grave. Ce mémoire vise donc l'étude de la compréhension auditivo-verbale chez les traumatisés crâniens graves. Une première partie théorique décrit : - les différents niveaux de traitement de l'information auditivo-verbale ainsi que les éléments indispensables à la compréhension du langage oral. - Les traumatismes crâniens : définition, épidémiologie, lésions, gravité, évolution et troubles neuropsychologiques secondaires. Une deuxième partie, plus expérimentale concerne : - l'évaluation de la compréhension auditivo-verbale chez les traumatisés crâniens graves (et présente la batterie de tests mise en place sous-tendue par le MNPL). - L'analyse des résultats. A la suite de cette étude, il apparaît que les traumatisés crâniens graves peuvent avoir des difficultés de compréhension à un niveau élaboré, sollicitant l'interprétation, la logique et le raisonnement. Ce déficit de compréhension peut être présent en l'absence d'aphasie.

Download or read book Communication Disorders Following Traumatic Brain Injury written by Skye McDonald and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are very few books available which are concerned with the unique communication problems that can come with traumatic brain injury (TBI). In recent years there has emerged a realisation that these difficulties in communication are closely tied to the cognitive, behavioural and social problems observed following traumatic brain injury. This is changing the way people with TBI are assessed and is generating new approaches to rehabilitation. This volume will be of interest to psychologists, speech pathologists and therapists and linguists. Clinicians and researchers working with people with traumatic brain injury, and their students, will find it a comprehensive source of contemporary approaches to characterising the communication problems of people with TBI and for planning rehabilitation.

Download or read book The Study of Anosognosia written by George P. Prigatano and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-21 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of anosognosia has witnessed an unprecedented increase in interest over the last 20 years. This has resulted in numerous empirical investigations as well as theoretical writings on the nature of human consciousness and how disorders of the brain may influence the person's subjective awareness of a disturbed neurological or neuropsychological function. This edited text summarizes many of the advances that have taken place in the field of anosognosia. It reviews research findings on anosognosia for hemiplegia following stroke, Anton's syndrome, and a variety of disorders in which impaired self-awareness is common. It also provides suggestive guidelines for the management and rehabilitation of persons who have anosognosia or impaired self-awareness.
