5
New cards

Verbal Comprehension Deficit

6
New cards

Paraphasias

Errors in expressive language that are not related to motor deficits but that are linked to higher-level language deficits associated with aphasia.

7
New cards

8
New cards

Neologism

An error in speech that occurs when an individual produces a word that is entirely different from the intended word and is mostly unintelligible.

9
New cards

Semantic Paraphasia

An error in speech in which one word is substituted for another word that is similar in meaning.

10
New cards

Unrelated Verbal Paraphasia

A verbal substitution of a word that is unrelated in meaning to the intended word.

11
New cards

Perseverate

To do something repeatedly, redundantly, and, more often than not, inappropriately.

12
New cards

Perseveration

A word that is said repeatedly and inappropriately.

13
New cards

Perseverative Paraphasia

A word that is produced repeatedly and inadvertently by an individual with aphasia instead of the intended word.

14
New cards

Agrammatism

The lack of appropriate grammatical construction of language that individuals with aphasia display.

15
New cards

Function Words

The in-between words used to frame the major content words in a sentence.

16
New cards

Content Words

An acquired impairment of reading.

18
New cards

Agraphia

An acquired impairment in the ability to form letters or form words using letters.

19
New cards

Self-Repair

When a speaker restates or revises a word or phrase in an attempt to produce it in an error-free fashion or to refine it to better reflect the intended meaning.

20
New cards

Cortical Aphasias

Acquired deficits in language abilities that arise as a result of damage to the cortex.

21
New cards

Subcortical Aphasias

Aphasias that arise as a result of damage to subcortical structures.

22
New cards

Zone of Language

The anatomic area within the language-dominant hemisphere that houses Broca’s and Wernicke’s areas and the arcuate fasciculus.

23
New cards

Wernicke's Aphasia

A specialized portion of the cerebrum located at the superior marginal gyrus of the left hemisphere’s temporal lobe that is responsible for interpreting and deriving meaning from the speech of others.

24
New cards

Anosognosia

The pathologic condition of having a deficit and being unable to recognize that the deficit exists or denying that the deficit exists despite evidence indicating otherwise.

25
New cards

Logorrhea

26
New cards

Empty Speech

Vocalized communication often produced by those with fluent aphasia that is abundant yet lacking in meaning.

28
New cards

Anomic Aphasia

An acquired deficit in language abilities characterized by fluent speech and intact receptive language but a disproportionately severe deficit in naming abilities.

29
New cards

Thalamic Aphasia

Language deficits as a result of lesion at the thalamus that are characterized by almost fluent speech, significant anomia in spontaneous speech but less so in confrontational naming tasks, impaired receptive language, perseverative semantic paraphasia’s, normal articulation, hypophonic voice, intact repetition, and intact grammar.

30
New cards

Striatocapsular Aphasia

Language deficits associated with lesion at the striatum that occur as a result of a lack of blood flow to the cortical language areas.

31
New cards

Quality of Life

32
New cards
