The links between short-term/working memory functioning and language in aphasia are generally acknowledged. These strongly indicate the need to incorporate assessment of short-term/working memory functioning for people with aphasia. While the supportive evidence for treatment is growing and appears to highlight the benefits of including short-term/working memory in aphasia treatment, the quality of the evidence in its current state is poor. However, because of the clinical needs of people with aphasia and the prevalence of short-term/working memory impairments, incorporating related treatments through practice-based evidence is advocated.

“…This has been demonstrated across a variety of tasks and stimuli, including simple span tasks with numbers, words, and pictures (DeDe, Ricca, Knilans, Trubl, 2014;Friedmann & Gvion, 2003;Laures-Gore, Shisler, & Verner, 2011); complex span tasks that involve temporary storage and manipulation of information (DeDe et al, 2014;Ivanova & Hallowell, 2012); and, n-back tasks (i.e., 0-, 1-, 2-back task; Christensen & Wright, 2010DeDe et al, 2014;Mayer & Murray, 2012). Overall, PWA have been shown to have smaller WM storage capacity and difficulties manipulating information within one's WM Smaller span capacity and reduced ability to process and update incoming information can directly impact decision-making capabilities.…”

“…Most aphasiologists believe that aphasia is the result of impairments in language processing, not the result of a loss of linguistic knowledge (Davis, 2013). In PWA, everyday language tasks (e.g., comprehension, word retrieval) may not be automatically processed and therefore take up space in WM (Davis, 2013).…”

Background: Making a decision is a cognitive task that requires the use of cognitive functions such as attention, memory, language, and executive function. Researchers have found people with cognitive deficits perform worse than healthy controls on experimental measures of decision-making. Researchers have also shown that persons with aphasia (PWA) may have deficits in the cognitive functions implicated in rational decision-making. Aims: In this paper, we will discuss the cognitive processes associated with decision-making by examining decision-making abilities in populations with cognitive deficits. Then we will discuss cognitive functions within the dual-process theory of decision-making, and describe the way(s) in which these processes may be impaired in PWA. We will also present a theoretical model of cognitive processes involved in decision-making and discuss the potential clinical implications of cognitive impairments on decision-making in PWA. Main contribution: This paper provides a theoretical foundation to support future discussions and investigations of decision-making in PWA. Conclusions: Making a rational decision may be more challenging for PWA, given the possibility of concomitant cognitive impairments. Future research is needed to validate or refute the theoretical synthesis presented in this paper. This could be accomplished through a variety of qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-methods research studies.
