“…The Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System design fluency test (Kaplan, 2001) was used to measure the participant’s ability to draw as many different designs as possible in 60 s; rows of boxes (each containing the same array of dots) were presented and the participant was asked to draw a different design in each box using only four straight lines to connect the dots. Noun retrieval was assessed using standard tests of picture naming (Graded Naming Test: (McKenna & Warrington, 1983), Boston Naming Test (Kaplan & Weinthaubs S., 2001)). Verb retrieval was assessed using a verb naming task adapted from Rohrer et al, 2010 (Rohrer, Crutch, Warrington, & Warren, 2010); participants were given 20 action pictures and were asked to name the relevant verbs.…”

Verbal adynamia (impaired language generation, as during conversation) has not been assessed systematically in parkinsonian disorders. We addressed this in patients with Parkinson’s dementia, progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration. All disease groups showed impaired verbal fluency and sentence generation versus healthy age-matched controls, after adjusting for general linguistic and executive factors. Dopaminergic stimulation in the Parkinson’s group selectively improved verbal generation versus other cognitive functions. Voxel-based morphometry identified left inferior frontal and posterior superior temporal cortical correlates of verbal generation performance. Verbal adynamia warrants further evaluation as an index of language network dysfunction and dopaminergic state in parkinsonian disorders.

“…Testing Pre-and posttreatment testing included the following standardized tests of aphasia: the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination-Third Edition (BDAE-3; Goodglass et al, 2001) including the Boston Naming Test-Second Edition (BNT-2; Kaplan et al, 2001) and the Cookie Theft Picture Description; and the Porch Index of Communicative Ability (PICA; Porch, 1981). Changes in content units (CUs; Yorkston & Beukelman, 1980) were analyzed for the Cookie Theft Picture Description.…”

“…This stipulation was enforced by the use of visual barriers, reminders to attempt only speech in therapy (and at home), and even a suggestion that participants "sit on their hands" if necessary. Following treatment, both groups appeared to benefit from treatment, although more of the participants in the CILT group showed more meaningful change on measures of the Western Aphasia Battery (WAB; Kertesz, 1982), Boston Naming Test (BNT; Kaplan, Goodglass, & Weintraub, 2001), and Action Naming Test (Nicholas et al, 1985;as cited in Maher et al, 2006). The strongest responder in the PACE group (P5) refused to engage in any modality other than spoken responses, thus muddying the contrast between PACE and CILT.…”

Purpose Intensive language action therapy (ILAT) can be effective in overcoming learned nonuse in chronic aphasia. It is suggested that all three guiding principles (constraint, communication embedding, massed practice) are essential to ILAT's success. We examined whether one of these, guidance by constraint, is critical. Method Twenty-four participants with aphasia (PWAs) were assigned to ILAT or a modified version of promoting aphasic communicative effectiveness (PACE) in a randomized block, single-blind, parallel-group treatment study. Blocking was by severity (mild/moderate, moderate to severe, severe). Both groups received intensive treatment in the context of therapeutic language action games. Whereas the ILAT group was guided toward spoken responses, the PACE group could choose any response modality. Results All participants, whether assigned to ILAT or PACE groups, improved on the primary outcome measure, picture naming. There was a Severity × Treatment interaction, with the largest effects estimated for PWAs with mild/moderate and moderate to severe aphasia. Regardless of severity, the ILAT group outperformed the PACE group on untrained pictures, suggesting some benefit of ILAT to generalization. However, this difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion Although the groups differed in subtle ways, including better generalization to untrained pictures for ILAT, the study was inconclusive on the influence of guidance by constraint.

“…The Western Aphasia Battery (WAB; Kertesz, 1982) later added a numeric scoring system to facilitate patient classification. To assess more specific deficits, specialized tests were developed, such as the Boston Naming Test, designed to examine naming deficits across a range of difficulty, further teasing out the nature of the disorder by examining the quality of the responses given (Kaplan, Goodglass, & Weintraub, 1983).…”

Studies of language disorders have shaped our understanding of brain-language relationships over the last two centuries. This article provides a review of this research and how our thinking has changed over the years regarding how the brain processes language. In the 19th century, a series of famous case studies linked distinct speech and language functions to specific portions of the left hemisphere of the brain, regions that later came to be known as Broca's and Wernicke's areas. One hundred years later, the emergence of new brain imaging tools allowed for the visualization of brain injuries in vivo that ushered in a new era of brain-behavior research and greatly expanded our understanding of the neural processes of language. Toward the end of the 20th century, sophisticated neuroimaging approaches allowed for the visualization of both structural and functional brain activity associated with language processing in both healthy individuals and in those with language disturbance. More recently, language is thought to be mediated by a much broader expanse of neural networks that covers a large number of cortical and subcortical regions and their interconnecting fiber pathways. Injury to both grey and white matter has been seen to affect the complexities of language in unique ways that have altered how we think about brain-language relationships. The findings that support this paradigm shift are described here along with the methodologies that helped to discover them, with some final thoughts on future directions, techniques, and treatment interventions for those with communication impairments.
