“I’m sitting here feeling aphasic!” A study of recurrent perseverative errors elicited in unimpaired speakers

“Like déjà vu all over again”: Patterns of perseveration in two people with jargon aphasia

“…So, people who have lexical or semantic impairments produce total perseverations, while those with deficits at the phonological level produce blended perseverations (see also arguments in Cohen & Dehaene 1998;Martin & Dell 2007;Moses et al 2004a, b & c). Moses et al (2004c) provide corroborating evidence from unimpaired speakers. They found that total perseverations occurred mainly in naming, which requires lexical semantic processing, while blended perseverations dominated in reading aloud, which, they argue, is more dependent on phonemic processing.…”

From a concept to a word in a syntactically complete sentence: An fMRI study on spontaneous language production in an overt picture description task

“…Levelt (1983), Martin et al (1989) and Van Wijk and Kempen (1987) provoked speech errors at text level using picture description tasks. Other methods are fast response deadlines to increase the number of errors in picture naming (Hearst et al, 2008;Moses et al, 2004) or word-picture-interference (Abel et al, 2009a,b).…”

Small Groups, Big Gains: Efficacy of a Tier 2 Phonological Awareness Intervention With Preschoolers With Early Literacy Deficits

“…Another factor might be the great variation in the underlying linguistic disorders. Robson, Sage, and Lambon Ralph (2012) proposed three hypotheses to account for the comprehension impairment in fluent aphasia: (a) disruption of acoustic and/or phonological analysis (e.g., Moses, Nickels, & Sheard, 2004), (b) semantic impairment (e.g., Butterworth, 1992), or (c) a combined phonological-semantic impairment-that is, the dual hypothesis (e.g., Hillis, Boatman, Hart, & Gordon, 1999). Treatment of subjects with fluent aphasia can therefore focus on semantics, phonology, or even syntax (e.g., Boyle, 2004;Edwards & Tucker, 2006;Sampson & Faroqi-Shah, 2011).…”
