“…In a small number of studies, echolalia has also been reported (Delia Sala & Spinnler, 1998;Esmonde, Giles, Xuereb, & Hodges, 1996;Robinson, Shallice, & Cipolotti, 2006), but this is not a common feature of PSP (Donker Kaat et al, 2007;Nath et al, 2003;Testa et al, 2001). Delia Sala and Spinnler (1998) provide the most comprehensive account of echolalia in PSP. They reported a 52year-old female with a two-year history of progressive slowness, who was initially misdiagnosed with PD.…”

Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a progressive neurological condition, whose main features include supranuclear gaze palsy, frequent falls, bradykinesia, axial rigidity, cognitive decline and communication impairments. Even though communication impairments are early and prominent manifestations, there is a significant lack of research on the nature of these impairments in PSP and the role of speech-language pathologists (SLPs). This tutorial article aims to describe the communication impairments observed in people with PSP; provide clinical guidelines for SLPs when assessing motor speech, language and other communication impairments; and to present facilitation and compensation approaches to treatment for people with PSP. The predominant motor speech impairment is mixed dysarthria, but there is a lack of consensus about the classification of language impairments. The involvement of SLPs in the assessment and treatment of people with PSP should be early, on-going and in collaboration with other health professionals, with the primary focus of maintaining quality of life for these patients and their family members.

“…Dysarthria is certainly the most common, but dysprosody, aphonia, stuttering, palilalia and echolalia as well as abnormal loquacity have also been described (Messert and van Nuis, 1966;Lebrun et af., 1986;Pillon and Dubois, 1992;Sonies, 1992;Della Sala and Spinnler, 1998). In contrast, the presence of a central language deficit in PSP remains disputed.…”

“…At the same time, under the influence of the theoretical models of cognitive neuropsychology (as formulated by Shallice, 1990), a new type of study entered the field of PSP research. Single and multiple single case studies attempted to illuminate possible dissociations between closely related cognitive functions, for instance noun and verb processing (Daniele et al, 1994), aspects of semantic retrieval (Gurd and Hodges, 1997), elicited and spontaneous word production (Esmonde et af., 1996b) and echolalia (Della Sala and Spinnler, 1998). PSP once again became the focus of scientific attention, particularly in the debate about the nature of 'dynamic aphasia'.…”

The presence of cognitive and behavioural symptoms In progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) was recognized even in the first descriptions of the disease. Subsequentiy, PSP has played an importent role in the development of the concept of 'subcortlcal dementia' and in the debates concerning the role of fronto-striatal circuits in cognition and behaviour.

A progressive speech/language disorder, such as the non fluent/agrammatic variant of primary progressive aphasia and progressive apraxia of speech, can be due to neuropathologically verified Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP). The prevalence of linguistic deficits and the linguistic profile in PSP patients who present primarily with a movement disorder is unknown. In the present study, we investigated speech and language performance in a sample of clinically diagnosed PSP patients using a comprehensive language battery, including, besides traditional language tests, a detailed analysis of connected speech (picture description task assessing 26 linguistic features). The aim was to identify the most affected linguistic levels in seventeen PSP with a movement disorder presentation, compared to 21 patients with Parkinson's disease and 27 healthy controls. Machine learning methods were used to detect the most relevant language tests and linguistic features characterizing the language profile of PSP patients. Our results indicate that even non-clinically aphasic PSP patients have subtle language deficits, in particular involving the lexical-semantic and discourse levels. Patients with the Richardson's syndrome showed a lower performance in the word comprehension task with respect to the other PSP phenotypes with predominant frontal presentation, parkinsonism and progressive gait freezing. The present findings support the usefulness of a detailed language assessment in all patients in the PSP spectrum.
