Agraphia
without reading
List the three ways aphasia can be categorized
1.Anatomical (ex. transcortical)
2. Linguistic (ex anomic)
3. Honorific (ex, Broccas, Wernickes)
Define Honorific
To Honor someone
Because of their research, Brocca and Wernicke have places in the brain named after them. woo hoo
Current ways to classify Aphasia
According to Generalists; Fluent /Non Fluent, that's all just differences in severity
According to Localizationists; anatomical, Brocca's Wernicikes
Salient Characteristics of Aphasia
Fluent/Non Fluent
Auditory Comprehension
Repetition
Naming
Non-Fluent Shopping List
Agrammatic
sparse amount of speech
sometimes perseverative
Many pauses
Disturbances in Prosody
Single word utterance
Word Substitution
Define Agrammatism
Without Grammar
Ex. Missing Function words
"Telegraphic speech"
Define paragrammatism
"word salad'
Confused or incomplete use of grammatical structures.
Often associated with Wernickes or posterior lesions
Fluent Aphasia Shopping List
May not have meaning
a lot of speech
few perseverations
articulation is within normal limits
Classifications of Aphasia
Acute Vs Chronic
Acute+ Still happening
Chronic= What is left
Fluent Aphasics most likely have a lesion where?
Postieriorly
Non Fluent Aphasics most likely have a lesion where
Anteriorly
Fluency is affected by what?
*Location of Lesion
*Severity
*Type of Aphasia
*Time post-onset
Fluency Dichotomy is based upon what?
Rate and flow of speech
Prosody
Patterns of speech errors
Frequency of repetitions
Occurrence of Jargon
Brown's Hypothesis for Aphasia
Central Language Processor
If CLP is impaired then all language modalities are impaired
WHAT IS THE PUNCH LINE?
Aphasia is a multimodality disorder it can and should me differentiated from the single modality impairments often associated with Aphasia
What is Apraxia of Speech?
a single modality disorder
Phonology disorder resulting from the impaired compcity to select program or execute the positioning of the speech musculature for the voluntary production of speech sounds
Apraxia of Speech is thought to result from lesions...
deep inside Brocca's area and ;may include the insula
More about Apraxia
Again... it is a single modality disorder
Lingustic functions may interact with aphasia
frequently co-exists with Brocca's aphasia
Requires clinical management DIFFERENT from language intervention for aphasia
Apraxia is NOT
*an aphasia
*a a result of muscular weakness, slowness, or coordination
*language disruption is not a primary component
Three current systems of classification
Fluent/non fluent
Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examiniation (BDAE)
Western Aphasia Battery (WAB)
Fluent/Non Fluent
Mid West, Mayo clinic
Unitary in nature
Only differences in severity
WAB
Localized in nature
Brocca's, Wernicke's Transcoritcal
WAB assesses
Auditory Comp
Oral Expressive Speech
Reading
Writing
BUT.... onlty aud comp and ex language are used to classify
What are the two tests to give classification of Aphasia
WAB
BDAE
Disturbance in Prosody means what?
Stress in the wrong places
True or False?
Can non fluent aphasics have abnormal articulation?
Yes.,
What is the continuum of fluency for non fluent aphasics?
First Five
0) no words or short meaningless utterances
1) recurrent stereotypic utterances with varied intonation, conveying some meaning
2) single words, often paraphasias, effortful and hesitant
3) fluent recurrent utterances or mumbling, very low volume of jargon
4)Halting telegraphic speech, mostly single words, often paraphasia, but with occasional verbs or prep phrases,, automatic sentence only. Ex. Oh I don't know.
5) often telegraphic but more fluent speech with some grammatical organization, prominent paraphaisas some prep sentences
Continuum of fluency for non fluent aphasia (6-10)
6) More complete prepositional sentences, More normal syntactic patterns, still paraphasias
7)Phonemic jargon with symblance to English syntax and rhythm , with varied phonemes and neogolisms, may be voluble, must be fluent
8) circumlatory. fluent speech, marked word finding, may have semantic jargon, Sentences are often complete but may be irrelevant.
9) and
10) normal speech, no slowing , halting, or paraphasias
Characteristics of fluent aphasia
1. a lot of speech
2. few pauses
3. few perseverations
4. articulation within normal limits
