Trouble and repair during conversations of people with primary progressive aphasia

Background: Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) affects a range of language domains that impact on communication. Little is known about the nature of conversation breakdown in PPA. The identification of trouble in conversation, its repair and the success of repairs has been used effectively to examine conversation breakdown in neurogenic language disorders such as dementia of the Alzheimer type (DAT) and acute onset aphasia. This study investigated trouble and repair in the conversations of people with PPA. Aims: The first aim of this study is to describe the contributions of individuals with PPA and their conversation partner to conversation. The second aim is to describe the trouble that occurs in dyadic conversations between three individuals with PPA and their communication partner. The third aim is to describe the repair behaviours used by the individuals with PPA and their communication partners. Methods & Procedures: Dyadic conversations about everyday activities between three individuals with PPA and their partners and three control dyads were video recorded and transcribed. Number of words, number of turns and length of turns were measured and trouble-indicating behaviours (TIBs) and repair behaviours were categorised.Outcomes & Results: Individuals with PPA had reduced mean length of turn but maintained their share of turn-taking. They demonstrated a variety of TIBs that differed from the noninteractive repairs, which do not require a response from the partner in the conversation and which have been observed in studies of conversation in DAT. Their partners bore the greater burden of highlighting trouble and need for repair using collaborative, interactive, TIBs. Three different conversational profiles were observed in the three PPA dyads, reflecting different patterns of language and cognitive impairment.

“…The new measure builds in part on the findings from a previous attempt to measure change in conversation following therapy. The Profile of Word Errors and Retrieval in Speech (POWERS, part of which appears in Herbert, Hickin, Best, Howard, & Osborne, 2008) also has its roots in CA and was the first attempt to use CA concepts while at the same time aiming to reliably measure specific aspects of conversation including speech units, turn taking, word retrieval and speech errors. The work that led up to POWERS incorporated several other aspects of conversation (for example, topic) that had to be excluded from the final measure on the grounds of low inter-rater reliability (Herbert, 2004).…”

“…However, the POWERS measure has been shown to correlate well with naming test scores, 31 and has demonstrated change in previous therapy studies. 29,39,40 An alternative explanation may lie in the therapy dose and/or content.…”

. A comparison of remote therapy, face to face therapy and an attention control intervention for people with aphasia: A quasi-randomised controlled feasibility study. Clinical Rehabilitation, 30(4), pp. 359-373. doi: 10.1177/0269215515582074 This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Outcome measures: Feasibility was assessed by recruitment and attrition rates, participant observations and interviews, and treatment fidelity checking. Effects of therapy on word retrieval Permanentwere assessed by tests of picture naming and naming in conversation.Results: Twenty-one participants were recruited over 17 months, with one lost at baseline.Compliance and satisfaction with the intervention was good. Treatment fidelity was high for both remote and face to face delivery (1251/1421 therapist behaviours were compliant with the protocol). Participants who received therapy improved on picture naming significantly more than controls (mean numerical gains: 20.2 (remote from University); 41 (remote from clinical site); 30.8 (face to face); 5.8 (attention control); p <.001). There were no significant differences between groups in the assessment of conversation. Conclusions:Word finding therapy can be delivered via mainstream internet video conferencing.Therapy improved picture naming, but not naming in conversation.3
