We see Anomia following ___________ & __________
lesions ? - ANSWER ✔ : Anomia following perisylvian
and extrasylvian lesions
Antonucci's take on Anomia ?
- which part of the brain involved in naming ?
-Anomia was worse for _______ than ______ as worse for
naming ______ than naming _____ - ANSWER ✔ : Left
inferior temporal lobe
worse for NOUNS than VERBS
worse for LIVING THINGS than NON- LIVING THINGS
Antonucci and colleagues found that the
- left inferior temporal lobe was involved in semantic
aspects of naming. An injury to this area resulted in
anomia. And this anomia tended to be worse for nouns
than verbs and worse for naming living things than naming
non-living things.
(Goodglass & Wingfield, 1997) take on Anomia -
ANSWER ✔ : Lexical phonologic output relies on intact
• Left superior temporal gyrus
• Inferior parietal cortex
, (Damasio et al., 1993; Hillis et al., 2002; Tranel et al.,
1997)
Take on Anomia ? - ANSWER ✔ : • Left frontal
operculum lesions were associated with greater verb
deficits than noun deficits
In cases of non fluent Aphasia there is likely a disruption
between ________________& ____________
/_____________ phases of naming. - ANSWER ✔ : likely
disruption between semantic and lexical/phonological
phases of naming
When assessing naming functions (Lexical retrieval) what
are some things you want to consider including ? -
ANSWER ✔ : -various stimuli,
-different levels of complexity, and not be limited to
"naming" to get a complete picture of linguistic deficit(s)
- use of standardized formal measures
Examples of standardized testing measures for naming
( lexical retrieval) - ANSWER ✔ : • Boston Naming Test
• Object and Action Naming Battery
•Expressive Vocabulary Test
• Activity Resource Kit (LARK)
Informal Naming assessments - ANSWER ✔ : • LARK to
elicit language
• Language samples (reading aloud, writing, picture
description, etc.)
,• Conversation
• Object/picture/body part naming (verbalization of name
or writing name)
• Responsive naming:
• Convergent naming:
• Divergent naming:
• Verbal fluency:
• Synonyms/antonyms
• Sentence completion, carrier phrases, providing
semantic/phonemic cues
Responsive naming: - ANSWER ✔ : The client will name
something after being give a description
Convergent naming: - ANSWER ✔ : The client will be
asked to provide a category name given a list of things in
that category.
Divergent naming: - ANSWER ✔ : You give the category
and they will list examples of things in that category.
Verbal fluency: - ANSWER ✔ : in X amount of time the
client will be asked to name as many items in a category .
Why is cross modality naming assessment important ? -
ANSWER ✔ : this will help get a good comprehensive
picture of the naming functions.
Example of sentence completion. - ANSWER ✔ : The
grass is _____
, Example of a carrier phrase - ANSWER ✔ : Here you
will create a phrase structure and hope that the client
jumps in to add something using the appropriate phrase
I'm going to the grocery store . Im buying a banana, I'm
buying a watermelon , Im buying a chicken .
( you want them to say I'm buying _____ )
Example of a semantic cue - ANSWER ✔ : If they are
trying to name a banana : This is a long piece of fruit , it is
yellow and you peal it
Example of a phonemic cue - ANSWER ✔ : It starts with
the letter B . . .
You would provide tactile without visual input for what
population ? - ANSWER ✔ : visually impaired
Cross modality inputs and outputs ? - ANSWER ✔ :
Input modalities: •
Speech
• Object/picture
• (Possibly tactile without visual input—for what
population?)
Output modalities:
• Speech
• Writing
• Gesture/pointing
