“…To explore the effect that each of the five approaches to lesion volume correction has on the stringency of results of lesion-symptom maps, we calculated number of suprathreshold voxels for twenty behaviors in a cohort of individuals with chronic left-hemisphere stroke (N = 49) using each method. Behaviors investigated included oral and written naming performance on the Philadelphia Naming Test (Roach, Schwartz, Martin, Grewal, & Brecher, 1996), category and letter fluency scores, subtests from the Western Aphasia Battery (Kertesz, 1982) including Spontaneous Speech Content, Spontaneous Speech Fluency, Repetition, Auditory Verbal Word Recognition, Auditory Verbal Yes No, and Sequential Commands, Pseudoword Repetition (in-house), imageability effect (concrete minus abstract word reading, in-house), regularity effect (regular minus exception word reading, in-house), lexicality effect (word minus pseudoword reading, in-house), Pyramids and Palm Trees (Howard & Patterson, 1992), Digit Span Backward, Picture Pointing, score on Complex Ideational Material from the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination (Goodglass & Kaplan, 2001), and the Attention and Symbol trails subtest scores from the Cognitive Linguistics Quick Test (Helm-Estabrooks, 2001). These measures were chosen to sample across a range of lesion effect sizes and potential anatomical loci.…”

Lesion-symptom mapping has become a cornerstone of neuroscience research seeking to localize cognitive function in the brain by examining the sequelae of brain lesions. Recently, multivariate lesion-symptom mapping methods have emerged, such as support vector regression, which simultaneously consider many voxels at once when determining whether damaged regions contribute to behavioral deficits (Zhang, Kimberg, Coslett, Schwartz, & Wang, ). Such multivariate approaches are capable of identifying complex dependences that traditional mass-univariate approach cannot. Here, we provide a new toolbox for support vector regression lesion-symptom mapping (SVR-LSM) that provides a graphical interface and enhances the flexibility and rigor of analyses that can be conducted using this method. Specifically, the toolbox provides cluster-level family-wise error correction via permutation testing, the capacity to incorporate arbitrary nuisance models for behavioral data and lesion data and makes available a range of lesion volume correction methods including a new approach that regresses lesion volume out of each voxel in the lesion maps. We demonstrate these new tools in a cohort of chronic left-hemisphere stroke survivors and examine the difference between results achieved with various lesion volume control methods. A strong bias was found toward brain wide lesion-deficit associations in both SVR-LSM and traditional mass-univariate voxel-based lesion symptom mapping when lesion volume was not adequately controlled. This bias was corrected using three different regression approaches; among these, regressing lesion volume out of both the behavioral score and the lesion maps provided the greatest sensitivity in analyses.

“…The researchers administered the following formal assessments: the WAB-R Aphasia Quotient (Kertesz, 2006), Pyramids and Palm Trees Test ( PPT ; Howard & Patterson, 1992), Psycholinguistic Assessment of Language Processing in Aphasia ( PALPA ) Subtests (Kay, Colthart, & Lesser, 1992), Cognitive Linguistic Quick Test ( CLQT ) Subtests (Helm-Estabrooks, 2001), Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (Grant & Berg, 1993), the Burden of Stroke Scale ( BOSS ; Doyle et al, 2004), and the CADL-2 (Holland et al, 1999). In addition, the researchers developed stimuli for baseline, probe, intervention, and postintervention sessions.…”

Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a neurodegenerative condition characterized by language and cognitive decline. Word-retrieval deficits are the most common PPA symptom and contribute to impaired spoken expression. Intense semantic interventions show promise for improving word retrieval in people with PPA. In addition, people with PPA may learn to use alternative communication modalities when they are unable to retrieve a word. However, executive function impairments can cause people to struggle to switch among modalities to repair communication breakdowns.This study examined the effects of a combined semantic feature analysis and multimodal communication program (SFA+MCP) on word-retrieval accuracy, switching among modalities, and overall communicative effectiveness in a person with PPA. An adult female with PPA completed SFA+MCP. Baseline, probe, intervention, and postintervention sessions were completed to measure word-retrieval accuracy and switching between communication modalities. A postintervention listener task was completed to measure communicative effectiveness. Changes in word-retrieval accuracy and switching were minimal. However, the listeners’ identification of the participant’s communication attempts was more accurate following treatment, suggesting increased overall communicative effectiveness. Further investigations of SFA+MCP, specifically relative to timing, intensity, and appropriate modifications for people with cognitive impairments associated with PPA are warranted.

“…33 There are other brief measures of cognitive status in adults, such as the Cognitive Linguistic Quick Test. 35 This test has similar limitations than those described for the MMSE and the MoCA. Moreover, its administration is lengthy (from 15 to 30 minutes) for primary care clinicians.…”

To date, there is no quick screening test that could be used during routine office visits to accurately assess language disorders in neurodegenerative diseases. To fill this important gap, we developed the Detection Test for Language impairments in Adults and the Aged (DTLA), a quick, sensitive, standardized screening test designed to assess language disorders in adults and the elderly individuals. In Study 1, we describe the development of the DTLA. In Study 2, we report data on the DTLA's validity and reliability. Finally, in Study 3, we establish normative data for the test. The DTLA has good convergent and discriminant validity as well as good internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Norms for the DTLA obtained from a sample of 545 healthy, community-dwelling, French-speaking adults from 4 French-speaking countries (Belgium, Canada (Quebec), France, and Switzerland) are provided. The development, validation, and standardization of the DTLA constitute a significant effort to meet the need for a language screening test adapted to neurodegenerative diseases.
