“…The survey includes an open question where clinicians could list additional tests they used in the clinical practice. We extracted the names of other tests and found that respondents reported to use the Batteria per l’Analisi dei Deficit Afasici ( Miceli et al, 1994 ), The Communicative Effectiveness Index ( Lomas et al, 1989 ) or the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association—Functional Assessment of Communication Skills ( Muò et al, 2015 ) or the Italian version of the Communication Outcome after Stroke scales for patients and caregivers ( Bambini et al, 2017 ). Very few respondents reported using the Cookie Theft description task.…”

“…The second most commonly used tool, informal assessment of communication, was rated as never used by six (4.3%) respondents and as always used by 86 (61.4%) of respondents. Commonly used formal published tests and batteries included the Aachener Aphasia Test (AAT, Luzzatti et al, 1994), always used by 28 (20.0%) respondents and never used by 37 (26.4%) respondents; the Esame Neuropsicologico per l'Afasia (ENPA, Miceli et al, 1994), always used by 25 (17.9%), often used by 51 (36.4%) respondents, and never used by 25 (17.9%) respondents; the (Miceli et al, 1994), The Communicative Effectiveness Index (Lomas et al, 1989) or the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association-Functional Assessment of Communication Skills (Muò et al, 2015) or the Italian version of the Communication Outcome after Stroke scales for patients and caregivers (Bambini et al, 2017).

Background and Objectives: In Italy, approximately 650 individuals receive a diagnosis of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) every year. Unfortunately, the frequency with which patients are referred to speech-language services is suboptimal, likely due to skepticism regarding the value of speech-language therapy in the context of neurodegeneration. Materials and Methods:We conducted a virtual survey of speech and language therapists (SLTs) across Italy, to collect information about the assessment, intervention and management of patients with PPA. To ensure that as many SLTs as possible received the survey, the Italian Federation of SLTs (Federazione Logopedisti Italiani, FLI) aided in disseminating the survey. Results:In total, 336 respondents participated in the online survey, 140 of whom had previous experience with PPA patients. Respondents indicated having seen a total of 428 PPA patients in the previous 24 months (three patients on average, range: 0-40). SLTs who reported never working with PPA identified underdiagnoses, low referral rates and the rarity of the clinical syndrome as major reasons for their lack of experience with PPA.

“…Each item is rated on a seven-point scale indicating the level of independence needed to communicate (22). This scale was used in previous studies with older adults (27)(28)(29). Since there was no validation and translation of the scale for Colombia, the scale was translated and reviewed by academic peers for this study (Appendix 1), as well as the statistical application of Cronbach's alpha to measure the internal consistency of each of the domains.…”

Efecto del procesamiento emocional de palabras en el funcionamiento comunicativo y social en el adulto mayor

Introducción: el funcionamiento comunicativo y social en la vejez implica recursos cognitivos y emocionales. Según la teoría de la selectividad socioemocional (tss), los adultos mayores tienen afinidad por eventos positivos y cultivan sus habilidades emocionales. Objetivo: explorar la relación entre el funcionamiento comunicativo y social y el procesamiento de estímulos emocionales en el adulto mayor. Materiales y métodos: adultos mayores y adultos jóvenes realizaron una tarea computarizada de decisión léxica (tdl) y fueron evaluados en su funcionamiento comunicativo. Resultados: hubo diferencias estadísticamente significativas en el factor de valencia, con un procesamiento más rápido de estímulos con contenido emocional versus no emocional (2196 = 36.39; p < 0.001). En cuanto al funcionamiento comunicativo y social, al compararlo con el desempeño en la tdl, se evidenció que los adultos mayores obtuvieron tiempos de reacción más prolongados y mayores tasas de error en el procesamiento de estímulos, al igual que menores puntajes en el asha-facs. Conclusión: aun cuando no se evidencia una interacción entre el procesamiento de estímulos emocionales y el funcionamiento comunicativo y social, la valencia emocional influye en el procesamiento de palabras en los adultos mayores, con una preferencia y selectividad por los estímulos positivos.
