“…It has since been used to study different healthy and clinical populations, including healthy older adults as compared to healthy younger adults (Langenecker, Briceno, et al, 2007; Langenecker & Nielson, 2003; Langenecker, Nielson, & Rao, 2004; Nielson et al, 2002; Nielson et al, 2003) and patients with psychiatric disorders, traumatic brain injury, and stroke (Giel et al, 2012; Langenecker et al, 2005; Langenecker, Caveney, et al, 2007; Langenecker, Kennedy, et al, 2007; Ryan et al, 2012; Votruba et al, 2008; Votruba, Rapport, Whitman, Johnson, & Langenecker, in press). Traditional clinical measures such as the Wisconsin Card Sort Test (WCST) and Part B of the Trail Making Test, as well as standard continuous performance tests, are commonly used in these populations to assess executive functioning.…”

The Parametric Go/No-Go (PGNG) test assesses cognitive domains including attention and executive functioning with three levels of increasing difficulty. Level 1 measures accuracy and response time to three targets. Level 2 adds a nonrepeating rule, measuring response time to two targets, accuracy for targets, and accuracy for appropriate inhibition. Level 3 has three targets with the same nonrepeating rule. The task shows good construct validity, and factor analyses show adequate ability to distinguish between processing speed, sustained attention, and inhibition. Normative data for the PGNG, stratified by age and education, as well as strategies for identifying atypical responding, are presented.

“…The need to evaluate the non-linguistic cognitive abilities in people with aphasia is highlighted for reason of maximizing the benefit of therapy (Votruba et al, 2013;Zakariás et al, 2013;Hachioui et al, 2014). Deficiencies in one of the non-linguistic cognitive areas can disturb not only the process of renewal of speech abilities but also the process of coping with the handicap (Seniów et al, 2009).…”

Purpose: The aim of the article is to analyse cognitive disorder in persons with aphasia of various aetiology pursuant to brain damage, emphasizing the interdisciplinary cooperation between the professionals of speech therapy and psychology.Methodology: Seven persons with stroke related aphasia of different aetiology participated in the research. For data processing, psychological, neurological and speech therapeutic detailed reports were applied.Results: We observed higher incidence of ischaemic stroke than haemorrhagic stroke. Expressive aphasia occurred in 6 of the 7 clients. Attention disorder and thinking disorder occurred in almost all 6 of the clients. Executive functions were impaired in 5.Conclusion: Given our findings, we tend to aphasia therapy in terms of cognitive rehabilitation. We perceive the interdisciplinary cooperation with specialists from the field of psychology as absolutely necessary. The results of psychological examination of persons with aphasia can significantly influence the effectiveness of speech therapy intervention.

RESUMEN Objetivo Estudiar la relación entre la percepción del cuidador sobre el deterioro en el habla espontánea del paciente, según un ítem de cuatro preguntas administradas mediante entrevista semiestructurada, y el desempeño del paciente en la Evaluación Breve de la Afasia (EBA). Método Se examinaron 102 pacientes diestros, con lesiones cerebrales focales de diferente tipo y localización. EBA es un instrumento válido y confiable para la medida de la afasia. Se correlacionó la percepción del cuidador con el ítem de habla espontánea, la puntuación total y los tres principales factores de EBA: el factor de Expresión, el de Comprensión y el Complementario. Se analizó la precisión (sensibilidad-especificidad) de la percepción del cuidador sobre el habla espontánea del paciente, respecto de la presencia o ausencia de trastorno, según el profesional, en el ítem de habla espontánea de EBA. Resultados La correlación estudiada fue satisfactoria, siendo mayor (superior al 80%) para los siguientes indicadores: el ítem de habla espontánea, el factor de Expresión y la puntuación total de la escala; la correlación fue un poco menor (superior al 70%) para el factor de Comprensión y el Complementario. Comparando dos puntos de corte que evaluaron la precisión en la percepción del cuidador, se observaron resultados satisfactorios en términos de sensibilidad y especificidad (>70%), con cocientes de probabilidad superiores a 3. Usando la mediana como punto de corte, se obtuvieron discriminaciones diagnósticas más satisfactorias. Conclusión Entrevistar al cuidador específicamente sobre el habla espontánea del paciente, en forma abreviada, proporciona información relevante para el diagnóstico de la afasia.

Personality Differences among Patients with Chronic Aphasia Predict Improvement in Speech-Language Therapy

Abstract: Improvement in SLT is substantially related to neurocognitive and psychological functioning, particularly affectivity. Assessment of these characteristics may assist in identifying patients who are likely to improve and in tailoring treatment programs to yield optimal outcomes.
