“…Another limitation of existing studies is that patient performance is often reported on a group level only (Glosser and Goodglass, 1990; Kauhanen et al , 2000; El Hachioui et al , 2014; Lee and Pyun, 2014; Naranjo et al , 2018) and information about the prevalence of impaired performance based on normative data is seldom available or incomplete. This information is, however, of clinical significance and relevant when performance in different aspects of cognitive functioning is to be compared.…”

“…A prospective cross-sectional study [2] figured out the relationship between nonverbal cognitive and language function, which showed that verbal comprehension abilities correlated with attention (Cancellation task of BLAD). Using Conner's Continuous Performance Test II to measure attention [20], the study showed that response speed variability was significantly correlated with speech discrimination and with performance in semantic association tasks. It also revealed that the indices of intra-individual variability can predict linguistic performance in the aphasia group.…”

“…Previous studies have revealed that attention and language are closely related. A study showed that the indices of intra-individual variability in response time in Conner's Continuous Performance Test were associated with speech discrimination and with performance in semantic association tasks in PSA patients [4]. Attention performance [5] in Symbol search of WAIS correlated significantly with aphasia severity and verbal comprehension ability in PSA.…”

Background: Aphasia is frequently observed in post-stroke patients, and this population usually presents attention impairment. Attention is considered to play an important role in the language recovery of patients with Post-Stroke Aphasia (PSA). However, it is no idea whether language function correlates with attention performance. In our study, we investigated the association between attention and language function in PSA patients. Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed from September 2020 to May 2021. A total of 26 PSA patients and 26 healthy people without neurological disorders were recruited in this study. And demographic, language performance, attention performance were recorded. The Aphasia Battery of Chinese (ABC) was applied to assess language performance. Attention network tests were used to measure attention performance. The attention scores were compared between the PSA patients and healthy people. The correlation analysis and stepwise linear regression analysis are used to explore the relationship between attention and language in the PSA group. Results: A total of 26 PSA patients (male/female = 21:5) and 26 healthy people (male/female = 21:5) were enrolled in the study. The mean ages were 50.00 ± 9.01 years, 48.88 ± 7.01, respectively. According to ABC, 14 (53.85%) patients experienced Broca's aphasia. In accordance with Attention Network Test (ANT), there were significant differences in accuracy and reaction time between the PSA group and the control group (all P<0.05). Orienting RT and alerting inverse efficiency (IE) were significant differences between the two groups. The spearman correlation revealed that executive control was associated with aphasia severity grade, repetition correlated with alerting, auditory comprehension correlated with orienting. And after the stepwise regression analysis, executive control RT alone emerged as a significant predictor of auditory comprehension. Alerting IE and orienting RT are the predictors of repetition. Conclusions: The results suggest that among PSA patients, language items (aphasia severity grade, auditory comprehension, and repetition) are related to three specific attention functions: alerting, orienting, and executive control. Disentangling the mechanism of attention deficits in PSA patients may provide a supplement for the rehabilitation strategies in PSA patients.

“…The rest of this section is devoted to studies that have investigated the relationship between attention and specific aspects of language processing rather than, or in addition to, the broad aphasia severity index. In the article describing the newly developed Aphasia Check List, Kalbe et al 43 reported significant correlations between scores on the cross-out attention task and scores on several language subtests, including reading aloud, reading comprehension, auditory comprehension, writing to dictation and word generation subtests. Similar results have been reported by Pérez Naranjo et al 44 Correlation analyses showed significant associations between focused attention indices and performance in phonological sound discrimination and semantic (word knowledge) association tasks.…”

Although language deficits are the primary area of weakness, people with poststroke aphasia often experience challenges with nonlinguistic cognitive skills, including attention processing. The purpose of this review is to synthesize the evidence for the relationship between attention deficits and language deficits in people with poststroke aphasia. Three different types of studies are reviewed: (1) studies exploring whether people with poststroke aphasia exhibit concomitant attention and language deficits, (2) studies explicitly exploring the relationship between attention and language deficits in people with poststroke aphasia, and (3) either language or attention (or both) treatment studies exploring whether treatment gains in one domain generalize to the other. In the last section, we briefly review research evidence for the neural basis of the attention-language relationship in aphasia.
