Schwen Blackett, Deena; Harnish, Stacy M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Emotional stimuli have been shown to influence language processing (both language comprehension and production) in people with aphasia (PWA); however, this finding is not universally reported. Effects of emotional stimuli on language performance in PWA could have clinical and theoretical implications, yet the sparsity of studies and…

Kim, Hana; Schoemann, Alexander M.; Wright, Heather Harris – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Core lexicon measures have received growing attention in research. They are intended to provide clinicians with a clinician-friendly means to quantify word retrieval ability in discourse based on normal expectations of discourse production for specific discourse elicitation tasks. To date, different criteria have been used to develop core…

Dannielle Hibshman; Ellyn A. Riley – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Persons with aphasia (PWA) experience differences in attention after stroke, potentially impacting cognitive/language performance. This secondary analysis investigated physiologically measured vigilant attention during linguistic and nonlinguistic processing in PWA and control participants. Method: To evaluate performance and attention in…

Seongsil Lee; Yasmeen Faroqi-Shah – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The present meta-analysis investigated the efficacy of anomia treatment in bilingual and multilingual persons with aphasia (BPWAs) by assessing the magnitudes of six anomia treatment outcomes. Three of the treatment outcomes pertained to the "trained language": improvement of trained words (treatment effect [TE]),…

Carolyn Baker; Tracy Love – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Lexical processing impairments such as delayed and reduced activation of lexical-semantic information have been linked to syntactic processing disruptions and sentence comprehension deficits in individuals with aphasia (IWAs). Lexical-level deficits can also preclude successful lexical encoding during sentence processing and amplify the…

Janssen, Nikki; Roelofs, Ardi; van den Berg, Esther; Eikelboom, Willem S.; Holleman, Meike A.; in de Braek, Dymphie M. J. M.; Piguet, Olivier; Piai, Vitória; Kesselsa, Roy P. C. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The three variants of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) differ in clinical presentation, underlying brain pathology, and clinical course, which stresses the need for early differentiation. However, brief cognitive tests that validly distinguish between all PPA variants are lacking. The Sydney Language Battery (SYDBAT) is a promising…

Braun, Emily J.; Kiran, Swathi – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The impact of stimulus-level psycholinguistic variables and personlevel semantic and phonological processing skills on treatment outcomes in individuals with aphasia requires further examination to inform clinical decision making in treatment prescription and stimuli selection. This study investigated the influence of stimulus-level…

Chapman, Laura Roche; Hallowell, Brooke – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Pupillary responses captured via pupillometry (measurement of pupillary dilation and constriction during the performance of a cognitive task) are psychophysiological indicators of cognitive effort, attention, arousal, and resource engagement. Pupillometry may be a promising tool for enhancing our understanding of the relationship between…

Auclair-Ouellet, Noémie; Fossard, Marion; Macoir, Joël; Laforce, Robert – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Better performance for actions compared to objects has been reported in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (svPPA). This study investigated the influence of the assessment task (naming, semantic picture matching) over the dissociation between objects and actions. Method: Ten individuals with svPPA and 17 matched controls…

Gordon, Jean K. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Spontaneous speech tasks are critically important for characterizing spoken language production deficits in aphasia and for assessing the impact of therapy. The utility of such tasks arises from the complex interaction of linguistic demands (word retrieval, sentence formulation, articulation). However, this complexity also makes…

Evans, William S.; Hula, William D.; Quique, Yina; Starns, Jeffrey J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Aphasia is a language disorder caused by acquired brain injury, which generally involves difficulty naming objects. Naming ability is assessed by measuring picture naming, and models of naming performance have mostly focused on accuracy and excluded valuable response time (RT) information. Previous approaches have therefore ignored the…

Quique, Yina M.; Evans, William S.; Ortega-Llebaría, Marta; Zipse, Lauryn; Walsh Dickey, Michael – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Script training is a well-established treatment for aphasia, but its evidence comes almost exclusively from monolingual English speakers with aphasia. Furthermore, its active ingredients and profiles of people with aphasia (PWA) that respond to this treatment remain understudied. This study aimed to adapt a scripted-sentence learning…

Wilson, Stephen M.; Eriksson, Dana K.; Yen, Melodie; Demarco, Andrew T.; Schneck, Sarah M.; Lucanie, Jilian M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Recovery from aphasia is thought to depend on neural plasticity, that is, functional reorganization of surviving brain regions such that they take on new or expanded roles in language processing. To make progress in characterizing the nature of this process, we need feasible, reliable, and valid methods for identifying language regions of…

Minkina, Irene; Silkes, JoAnn P.; Bislick, Lauren; Madden, Elizabeth Brookshire; Lai, Victoria; Pompon, Rebecca Hunting; Torrence, Janaki; Zimmerman, Reva M.; Kendall, Diane L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: An increasing number of anomia treatment studies have coupled traditional word retrieval accuracy outcome measures with more fine-grained analysis of word retrieval errors to allow for more comprehensive measurement of treatment-induced changes in word retrieval. The aim of this study was to examine changes in picture naming errors after…

Thompson, Cynthia K. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Reorganization of language networks in aphasia takes advantage of the facts that (a) the brain is an organ of plasticity, with neuronal changes occurring throughout the life span, including following brain damage; (b) plasticity is highly experience dependent; and (c) as with any learning system, language reorganization involves a synergistic…
