Williams, Sarah E.; Wright, Judith M. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1985
The effect of semantic grouping on confrontation-naming performances of 16 fluent and 10 nonfluent aphasic adults was examined. Performances were not uniformly facilitated in one naming condition over the other. Some patients, however, did appear to display performance discrepancies between the two conditions. (Author/CL)

Niemi, Jussi; Koivuselka-Sallinen, Paivi – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1987
The study analyzed the temporal delays and pauses associated with neologisms produced by Finnish posterior aphasics. Delays and pauses appeared to correlate with the type of neology they preceded. (Author)

Luick, Anthony H.; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1982
Factor and cluster analysis of the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities scores of 237 children (6 to 8 years old) with severe language handicaps showed a clear auditory-vocal and visual-motor factor. Ninety-seven percent of the Ss had the lowest scores on auditory association and grammatic closure subtests. (Author/CL)

Wulfeck, Beverly B. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1988
Sentence comprehension and grammaticality judgment were studied in 10 healthy subjects and 10 agrammatic aphasic stroke patients. The latter were able to make grammaticality and comprehension judgments, but less accurately. Results indicated that such judgments are made using different processes and/or operate on different aspects of language…

Shapiro, Lewis P.; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1989
The study with 10 agrammatic aphasic (Broca) adults examined their difficulties using determiners in sentence comprehension. Results included the findings that printed rather than spoken presentation yielded significant improvement for the proper noun/common noun distinction, and that performance was poorer for the mass noun/count noun…

Luick, Anthony H.; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, 1982
The study investigated whether children assigned to classes for severe oral language handicaps in California by a multidisciplinary diagnostic team exhibit a characteristic Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities performance profile or a number of distinct profiles. (Author)

Tanzarella, Massimo – Rassegna Italiana di Linguistica Applicata, 1978
This paper analyzes aphasia using Titone's Glossodynamic Model which assumes the existence of three hierarchic levels of personality. (CFM)

Draizar, Andrea – 1980
Changes in frequency of occurrence of the following linguistic variables in recovery from aphasia due to left temporal lobe lesions are analyzed in text and graphs: (1) quantity of verbalization, (2) syntactic structure: subject-verb-object vs. topic-comment, (3) syntactic complexity, (4) nouns and verbs, (5) morphology, (6) anaphora, and (7)…

Packman, Ann; Ingham, Roger J. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1978
The spontaneous speech of five aphasic Ss (47-70 years old) was rated on-line by four clinicians to test the reliability of seven response categories (devised for the concurrent evaluation of aphasic speech). (Author/PHR)

Paul, Rhea; Cohen, Donald J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1984
Data on speech, language, performance IQ, school placement, and behavior are presented on 18 subjects diagnosed in childhood as "aphasic" and followed through adolescence. Results revealed slow but steady growth in language with expressive skills showing more rapid progress than comprehension. Performance IQ was highly correlated with language…

White, M.; McLaughlin, T. F. – B. C. Journal of Special Education, 1981
Modeling, prompting, token reinforcement and praise were used to increase the verbal behavior of a 5 year old expressive aphasic child in a speech therapy room setting. Followup data indicated that a frequncy of three word sentences was maintained without further intervention procedures. (Author)

Dunn, Nancy D.; And Others – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1989
Nonfluent and fluent dysphasic subjects (N=22) and nondysphasic subjects (N=20) were assessed on tasks of word fluency and picture-naming. Results showed that clinical language examinations should utilize contexts other than naming tasks for detecting the presence of word retrieval problems and for differentiating the two polar types of dysphasia.…

Hall, Penelope K.; Jordan, Linda S. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 1987
An adaptation of the Fluency in Controlled Association subtest of the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination was administered to language-disordered (N=123) and non-disabled (N=286) kindergarten through ninth-grade students. Lack of significant differences on this task suggests that it may not be an appropriate screening device for identifying…

Phillips, Phyllis P.; Halpin, Gerald – 1975
Because it generally took over an hour to administer the Porch Index of Communicative Ability (PICA), a shorter but comparable version of the test was developed. The original test was designed to quantify aphasic patients' ability level on common communicative tasks and consisted of 18 ten-item subtests. Each item resulted in a proficiency rating,…

Rosenthal, William S.; And Others – 1972
This paper examines the validity of diagnostic categories frequently used to classify children with severe language disorders by determining the relationship of the categories to independently derived developmental, psychological, and medical variables. It is argued that the classification systems currently available too often fail to achieve the…
