what area of language does this describe that develops into adulthood? Specialized vocabularies
semantics
what area of langauge doesn't this describe which develops well into adulthood. Written language is more complex than spoken language
which language deficits are displayed as adults become older?
decline in the use of complex sentences
decline in oral/written language comprehension
decline in understanding complex syntax, inferencing
decline in narrative skills
The wernickes area of the brain controls?
working memory
enabling the motor cortex for speech production
processing of language

language processing
working memory and enabling the motor cortex for speech production
spatial intelligence
Aphasia is a language/communication disorder that is a direct result of .
The key characteristics of aphasia are...?
loss of ability to understand speech or express speech
diverse population
NOT the result of motor speech impairment, dementia or detoriation of intelligence
lack of repsonse of information coming from the left side of the body
imparied cognitive skills
The cause of aphasia is or cerebrovascual accident.
What are the key characteristics of Wernicke's Aphasia?
Slow, labored speech with grammar errors
Fluent speech formed by strings of jargon
auditory comprehesion is mostly OK
POOR language comprehension
poor imitation skills
Key characterstics of Broca's Aphasia
fluent speech with jargon
slow, labored speech with grammar errors
poor language comprehension
auditory comprehesion is oK
problems with imitation
global/mixed aphasia is
profound language impairment in all modalaties, limited spantenous speech, verbal imitation and naming affection, poor comprehension, limited to single words/short phrases
flueunt speech formed by strings of jargon and poor language comprehension
slow,labored speech with grammar errors and auditory comprehension is ok
The characteristics of strokes are...?
imparied cognitive skills, impared language, anomia,disturbed pragmatics skills, psychosocial and personlity changes
two types ischemic and hemmoraghic, ischemic is the blockage of arteries transporting blood and hemorrhagic is when the arterial walls burst under pressures 100,000 people get aphasia after one of these
attentional deficits, visuospaital deficits,communication deficits, and visual neglect of the left field
What are the characterstics of Right Hemisphere Brain Damage (RHBD)?
ishemic and hemmorrahagic, tia, caused by blocked arteires
cognitive skills, language and communication, personality changes
attentional deficits,visuospatial deficits, communication deficits,visual neglect of the left visual field,subtle deficits but have a great effects on everyday life, 50-78% have communcation impariments.
What are the key charactersitics of TBI?
blocked arteries, arteries burst, transient, causes aphasia
imparied cognitive skills (memory,attention, reasoning/problem solving,exec functioning),imparied language realtd to cognitive deficits,anomia,most distrubed langauge is pragmatics,psychosoical and personality changes
loss of the left visual field, attentional deficits, visiusospatial deficits, communicative disorders
what are the main symptoms of dementia?
name recall difficulty, disornetiation, memory loss all the way to naming errors, minimal comprehension, jargon, echoliala,mutism
imparied cognitive skills, impared language skill,poor pragmatics, and personality changes.
caused by blocked arteries, burst of arterial walls, TIA, ischemic and hemorrhagic, causes aphasia
the main cause of a stroke is a blocked artery ( stroke)or the leaked or bursting of a blood vessel ( stroke)
How many people are affected by strokes annually?
1.4 million
Half a million
1 million
How many people every year are affected by TBIs?
2 million
1/2 million
as a result of strokes people get phasia each year
The following is the treatment for strokes
little is known about effective treatmets, begin with vsiual and auditory recognition, and semantic intervention approach.
coginitive rehaby early-late stages
the earlier the treatment the better, following acute care, may need rehab or a nursing home
the following is are treatments for RHBD
little is known about effective treatments, begin with visual and auditory recognition, semantic intervnation appraoch for non literal langauge, assitance in responsind approaritely, target non linguistic markers--eye contact, body langauge, gestures
cogntiive rehab, early stages, middle stages, and late stages
acute care and nursing home
none avaialble
The following are treatment options for TBI
semantic intervention appraoch for non literal language, assitance in correct responses, target non linguistic markers.
acute care, rehab and nursing homes.
Cognititve Rehab (3 stages) early stages: orientiation, senosri motor, stimualtion, recognition middle stages: reduce confusion, improve memory, goal orientated behavior late stages: comprehension of complex information and directions, converational and social skills
The following are described as deficits of RHBD: lack of response to info coming form the LEFT side of the body, poor attention skills.
the following are described as defciits of RHBD: poor visual discrimation, and poor scanning/tracking
The following is described as deficits of RHBD: paralinguistic deficits, difficultly interepreting facial expressions, body language, prosody(nonverbal means of conveying intent)
RHBD is described as the visual neglect of the visual field
The cause of RHBD (right hemisphere brain damage) is a group of deficits resulting from a
what is anomia?
imparied comprehension (unable to recall the names of everyday objects)
difificulty with comprehendiing numbers
imparied expressive abilities
What is the most disturbed language skill in TBI patients?
labeling everyday object
pragmatic language skills
expressive language skills
what are impaired cognitive skills in people with TBI?
imparied language comprehension, anomia,personality changes
organizational skills
orientation and memory,problem-solving,attention and reasoning,executive functioning
Psychosocial and personality changes may include impulsivity, poor organization and social judgment or withdrawal and aggressiveness are main characters in patients with...?
strokes
TBI
RHBD
Dementia
Falls, motor vehicle accidents, blows to the head (sports) assualt are all causes of
Males are as likely to have
The main area that is affected with people who have dementia is
The primary focus of treatment in this stage of rehab for those with TBIs are orientation, sensorimotor stimulation, recogntion
early stages

The severity of aphasia is related to , , , the of the client, and general .
The onset of aphasia happens in speed.
the two hemisphere of the brain are the and
the three parts of the brain are the cerebrum cerebellum brain stem( cerebrum, cerebellum, brain stem ),cerebellum cerebrum( cerebellum, cerebrum ), and brain stem cerebrum cerebellum( brain stem, cerebrum, cerebellum ).
The 3 areas of a person's life affected by aphasia are , , as well as specific language functions such as naming.
