“…Similarly, patients with a variety of aphasias (including some patients with receptive aphasia) have maintained experience of affect, in that they can report on their general positive and negative mood (Haley et al, 2015). These findings are consistent with the prediction that the temporal pole is necessary for making meaning of sensory inputs as moments of discrete emotion, without which these moments are represented more concretely as affective or more elemental physical sensations (MacCormack & Lindquist, 2017).…”

What role does language play in emotion? Behavioral research shows that emotion words such as "anger" and "fear" alter emotion experience, but questions still remain about mechanism. Here, we review the neuroscience literature to examine whether neural processes associated with semantics are also involved in emotion. Our review suggests that brain regions involved in the semantic processing of words: (i) are engaged during experiences of emotion, (ii) coordinate with brain regions involved in affect to create emotions, (iii) hold representational content for emotion, and (iv) may be necessary for constructing emotional experience. We relate these findings with respect to four theoretical relationships between language and emotion, which we refer to as "non-interactive," "interactive," "constitutive," and "deterministic." We conclude that findings are most consistent with the interactive and constitutive views with initial evidence suggestive of a constitutive view, in particular. We close with several future directions that may help test hypotheses of the constitutive view.

“…Although we did not find a correlation between the CESD-R, the D-VAMS, and the eye tracking indices of depression, the measures suggest that our sample of persons with aphasia and healthy controls had few to no depression symptoms. Our results for persons with aphasia are similar to those of Haley et al, 50 who found that the majority of persons with aphasia in their sample rated their mood as being happy on the Visual Analog Mood Scale. Indeed, the rating of happy mood in persons with aphasia in their sample was greater than sad mood by a factor of 2.…”

Background. Persons with aphasia often present with low mood/depression, which can negatively affect their quality of life. The validity and reliability of existing depression measures for aphasia have been called into question. Eye tracking in nonstroke populations is reliable in identifying low mood/depression. Depressed persons are biased to negative emotions compared with nondepressed persons and have an absence of bias to positive emotions. However, nondepressed persons may be biased to positive emotions. Objective. To examine the feasibility of using eye tracking to measure mood in persons with aphasia. Methods. We recruited 22 persons with chronic aphasia and 12 healthy controls. Participants completed 2 self-report measures of mood. They also viewed faces that showed happy, sad, and neutral facial expressions during eye tracking. We analyzed 2 eye tracking indices: initial gaze orientation and gaze maintenance to happy, sad, and neutral faces. Results. For initial gaze orientation, participants with aphasia fixated faster on emotional faces compared with healthy controls but directed their gaze less often to happy faces compared with healthy controls. For gaze maintenance components, the duration of first fixation and total fixation duration were shorter on sad faces for participants with aphasia compared with healthy controls. Conclusion. Use of eye tracking with faces representing different mood states is feasible in persons with aphasia. Although there were some similarities, participants with aphasia had different gaze patterns to emotional faces compared with healthy controls. Further research is needed to establish whether this is a valid and reliable method of mood assessment.

“…It is important to note that carers may complete instruments on behalf of the patient in practice and research (Haley et al., 2015; van Dijk et al., 2017) and carers may not accurately detect the presence or levels of distress in aphasic stroke patients (Morris et al., 2017). Self‐reporting instruments are more empowering and accurate for aphasic patients because their behaviours do not always correspond with their internal mood state (Cobley et al., 2012).…”

“…The VAMS demonstrates high construct validity by correlating with the SADQH-10 (p < 0.01; Cobley et al, 2012). However, the VAMS does not establish validity in mood screening stroke patients with moderate-to-severe language impairments (Haley et al, 2015). Barrows and Thomas (2018) assessed 46 stroke survivors (24% with aphasia) using the dynamic VAMS (D-VAMS), which involves selecting an expressive face that closely represents the current mood.…”

A rapid evidence review (RER) of empirical literature was conducted to explore aphasic stroke survivors' mental health outcomes and lived experiences, as well as the screening instruments for this cohort. The RER was informed by a critical disability theory approach and synthesised qualitative and quantitative evidence within and across 29 studies, published between 2000 and 2021, from a systematic search of three databases. Understanding the relationship between post-stroke aphasia and mental health outcomes is essential for developing comprehensive treatment strategies and designing appropriate long-term care. Available screening instruments currently only detect depression and anxiety, which are then used to detect further mental health issues.The RER revealed that the current screening instruments demonstrate reliability; however, research remains limited regarding their validity. Furthermore, limited studies include aphasic patients as participants and decision-makers in stroke research.Methodological limitations across studies include comparators and small sample sizes.Importantly, across the studies, there is a lack of representation of culturally diverse and minority participants. Overall, the RER results found a high prevalence of aphasic stroke survivors experiencing depression and other mental health outcomes, indicating that implementing mood screening in a timely manner is essential. In addition, the results support that psychological care pathways must be developed and evaluated in consultation with aphasic patients' and carers' lived experiences to identify stepped levels of care and establish appropriate screening instruments. Furthermore, the health system requires consistency, which would ideally be achieved by establishing staff roles and responsibilities regarding mood screening and supportive care in these psychological care pathways. Including mental health specialists such as social workers and establishing specialist training in the multidisciplinary team would support this endeavour. There is a need for further research regarding mood screening instruments, a diversity of aphasic stroke survivors' lived experiences and the clinical expertise of those providing psychological support.
