Patients may lose the ability to sound out words (they can no longer map graphemes to phonemes) but may be able to read frequent, previously learned, highly imageable words by recognition (they could read "tree" but not "proscription"). Typically, the lesions in Broca aphasia are ...
‘I went there and it didn’t do it and then I got it’). Others may produce semantic jargon and their language consists of numerous unrelated paraphasias (‘Look at the ball up in the refrigerator’ when speaking about a kite caught up in a tree). Severe fluent aphasia is ...
Novel systematic metaphors were used to describe certain symptoms: APHASIA AS SILENCE and APHASIA AS SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE were used to describe a lack of inner speech, and APHASIA AS A DISMEMBERED TREE to describe problems making semantic associations. Conclusions and implications This research ...
It requires selecting between two options (e.g.: a palm tree and a fir tree), the concept that is more closely related to the target (e.g.: a pyramid). For the BiLex semantic simulation, triplets included two word options (e.g.,“hood”, “pants”) that were similar (e.g.: ...
of quantitative models of word-level speech production, we will use a multinomial processing tree model to provide therapy response predictions based on estimates of participants’ latent abilities in lexical, phonological, and semantic processing, as inferred from their naming response types [48]. ...
The result would not be predicted by approaches in which morphological and syntactic impairments are strongly and causally related in aphasia, such as the tree‐pruning hypothesis (Friedmann, 2001; Friedmann & Grodzinsky, 1997). Further, these results reinforce the conclusion that aphasia treatment ...
The trace deletion hypothesis and the tree-pruning hypothesis: Still valid characterizations of Broca's aphasia I begin with a characterization of neurolinguistic theories, trying to pinpoint some general properties that an account of brain/language relation should h...

Both types of treatment were delivered in a group setting but using individualized treatment items for each participant. It was hypothesized that the naming treatment would yield treatment effects in terms of improved confrontation-naming ability while the non-naming treatment would not. The specific...
Substitution of a real word for a verbal target; if the substituted word is semantically related to a verbal target, such as leaf for the intended target tree, this would be considered a semantic paraphasia.

The third participant performed equally high on the two sentence types. Two participants performed at chance on Tense comprehension and one above chance. (b) The three participants were selectively or across-the-board impaired in judgement of Agreement, Tense, and Aspect. One of the two ...
