“…Correlations between comprehension and retelling from auditory narratives and naming accuracy in a naming task have been found as expected. Consistently, naming accuracy has been associated with various measures of discourse production (Boucher et al, 2020;Fergadiotis & Wright, 2016;Richardson et al, 2018;Schneider et al, 2021Schneider et al, , 2022, such as cohesion, coherence, narrativity, macropropositions, and informativeness. Our study contributes to these findings, by bringing evidence of the relation between naming and macrostructural processes in comprehension and retelling of auditory stories.…”

“…To date, the focus has been on spoken discourse measures (i.e., discourse production). For instance, correlations have been reported between naming accuracy and informativeness in the acute (Boucher et al., 2020) and chronic phases (Fergadiotis & Wright, 2016) of post‐stroke aphasia. A correlation between naming and main concept analysis has also been reported in chronic post‐stroke aphasia, but the relationship was less predictable in patients without aphasia (Richardson et al., 2018).…”

“…Based on Pawlowski et al (2012), we expected that RWH would be strongly related to discourse retelling and comprehension in the written modality but would also be related to a lesser extent to discourse retelling and comprehension in the auditory modality, in both groups (HC and LH). We also expected that naming would relate to retelling, in both modalities (Boucher et al., 2020; Fergadiotis & Wright, 2016; Richardson et al., 2018; Schneider et al., 2021, 2022). Third, we explore the association between discursive measures and their structural correlates in grey matter (GM) regardless of the group considering that we are not expecting behavioural differences.…”

Background: Little is known about story retelling and comprehension abilities in groups with lower levels of education and socio-economic status (SES). A growing body of evidence suggests the role of an extended network supporting narrative comprehension, but few studies have been conducted in clinical populations, even less in developing countries. Aims: To extend our knowledge of the impact of a stroke on macrostructural aspects of discourse processes, namely main and complementary information, in individuals with middle-low to low SES and low levels of education. Relationships were tested between the performance in story retell and comprehension and reading and writing habits (RWH). Also, the associations between retelling and comprehension measures and their structural grey matter (GM) correlates were explored.

“…Although not specifically envisioned for the detection of fine‐grained patterns of disruption at the word level, under certain conditions, especially in cases of moderate‐to‐severe stroke‐induced aphasia, picture description tasks may arguably be reduced to a mere confrontation naming exercise. However, recent results show that confrontation naming abilities strongly relate to informativeness in picture description tasks (Boucher et al., 2020). Contrary to the former, picture description tasks are claimed to provide further complex information about more ecological communication settings (Boucher et al., 2020).…”

Naming as a window to word retrieval changes in healthy and pathological ageing: Methodological considerations

Background: Word retrieval skills change across the lifespan. Permanent alterations in the form of decreased accuracy or increased response time can be a consequence of both normal ageing processes or the presence of acquired and neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., aphasia and dementia). Despite the extensive literature exploring the neuroanatomical underpinnings of word retrieval, psycholinguistic, biolinguistic and theoretical explanations, and the vast amount of evidence from primary and secondary language disorders, the best approach to consistently capture these changes is yet to be discovered. Aims: The goal of this paper is to determine which method(s) stand(s) as the most suitable candidate(s) to provide an accurate picture of word retrieval in the oral production of different groups of adult speakers, including cases of healthy ageing, preclinical Alzheimer's disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), aphasia and dementia. Methods & Procedures: Using an integrative review of recent peer-reviewed journal articles, we provide an overview of the different behavioural methods traditionally used to measure oral naming skills in research-oriented and clinical protocols and discuss their main advantages and limitations. Main Contribution:Most existing studies are based on the results of people with diagnosed language disorders. Despite the growing interest, the reliability of the majority of the tasks to detect subtle changes associated with healthy ageing, MCI and preclinical AD are yet to be demonstrated, and the delicate balance between informativeness and efficiency (especially in terms of administration time and variable control) in experimental protocols is yet to be achieved. In this article we propose the pursuit of an integrative overarching methodology to characterize all naming deficits (from anecdotal to permanent) and all adult populations (from healthy to pathological ageing). Conclusions & Implications:A combination of spontaneous speech data and results from structured tasks stands as the best approach to capture changes in This is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs License, which permits use and distribution in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited, the use is non-commercial and no modifications or adaptations are made.

“…Researchers have used this command to generate large datasets and select the variables of interest for their studies. For example, Boucher et al (2020) assessed the relationship between quantitative measures of connected speech and performance in confrontation naming in 20 individuals with early post-stroke aphasia and 20 controls. EVAL was used to extract 10 micro-linguistic variables such as duration, speech rate, total number of words, mean length of utterance, and lexical diversity from CHAT transcriptions of a picture description task.…”

This chapter examines state-of-the-art methods for coding, analyzing, and interpreting discourse-level language data from children and adults with language disorders using the data, tools, and methods provided by the TalkBank system (https://www.talkbank.org). These open and free methods have been used for language sample analysis (LSA) with several clinical populations (e.g., child language disorders, stuttering, aphasia, dementia, traumatic brain injury, right hemisphere brain damage), as well as with control participants without communication impairments. We review the six core principles guiding TalkBank, the current shape of the 15 TalkBank databanks, and the different analytic tools provided by TalkBank. We examine automatic TalkBank methods that use ASR (automatic speech recognition), NLP (natural language processing), database technology, statistics in R and Python, and ML (machine learning). The specific tools include corpus analysis methods, LSA profiling systems, online database searches through TalkBank, online browsing through transcripts linked to media, and a new system for online collaborative commentary. These systems provide multimedia access to transcripts from a wide variety of participants with and without language disorders.
