Aphasiology focuses on all aspects of language disorders and disabilities, particularly those related to brain injury. It provides a forum for the exchange of knowledge and disseminates current research and expertise on aphasia and related topics from various disciplines. The journal includes papers that address clinical, psychological, linguistic, social, and neurological perspectives on aphasia, attracting contributions and readership from researchers and practitioners in speech and language pathology, neurology, neuropsychology, and neurolinguistics. In addition to regular features such as major reviews, clinical forums, case studies, and book reviews, it publishes research employing a wide range of empirical methods, including experimental, clinical, and single-case studies, surveys, and physical investigations.

Aphasiology

Background: Apraxia of speech (AOS) is defined as a disorder of articulatory movements, yet a cohesive account of the movement deficit in AOS appears to be lacking. Kinematic evaluation yields precise and objective information regarding the movement deficit in AOS; however, it is an underutilised technique in AOS assessment and in the planning and delivery of treatment. Clearly defined kinematic features of AOS can potentially play a central role in the identification of treatment targets and in measuring treatment outcomes in AOS.Aims: The overall goal of this systematic review was to characterise the state of the science pertaining to kinematic features of acquired AOS. Specifically, we aimed to (1) characterise kinematic features that distinguish speech in AOS from healthy controls, and (2) determine how these features may vary as a function of task complexity and speaking condition. Five electronic databases were searched from their start-date up to July 2017 using the key terms AOS and speech kinematics. Two raters independently screened abstracts and full texts for inclusion based on pre-determined criteria. Data regarding participant demographics, study design, methods, and results were extracted and analysed descriptively. Two independent raters used a modified version of the Critical Appraisal Tool for Cross-Sectional Studies (AXIS) to assess the methodological quality of included studies.Main Contribution: The review yielded a total of 11 studies, including 10 case-control studies and one case study. The results revealed a lack of high-quality literature reporting on the kinematic features of AOS. In broad terms, the small body of existing literature reported increased movement range and duration of the lips, jaw, and tongue, increased movement variability, the presence of silent articulatory attempts, and the influence of increasing stimulus complexity on articulatory precision/execution. While initial studies have been helpful in demonstrating the potential of kinematic evaluation in AOS, future studies with higher-quality methodology and larger sample sizes are needed to better characterise movement-based impairments related to AOS and to facilitate potential clinical applications.Conclusions: Movement-based evaluation provides a promising avenue for the assessment and treatment of AOS, including potential target-selection and measurement of treatment outcomes.

Towards movement-based outcome measures for apraxia of speech: a systematic review

Abstract We report on the spoken language of 48 patients with dementia of the Alzheimer's type (DAT) who were divided into three approximately equal subgroups on the basis of the Mini-Mental State Examination (minimal 24–29, mild 17–23, and moderate 3–16) and 18 matched controls. The Cookie Theft picture description task from the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination was chosen because it is considered an ecologically valid approximation to spontaneous discourse. All subjects were also assessed on a battery of semantic memory and non-verbal tests. Our analysis of the discourse sample focused on quantity versus information content over time, and included measures of the total number of syllables produced, the total number of information units produced, and the total time taken to describe the picture. We found that the total number of information-carrying units was the most salient variable which differentiated controls from even the minimal DAT subgroup. Moreover, information content correlated significantly with measures of lexico-semantic processing, but not with performance on non-linguistically based tests.

Background Discourse production is a fundamental aspect of everyday life. There is a growing body of research on discourse production in persons with aphasia (PWA) but one understudied aspect of discourse production is the use of discourse particles. Understanding the role of discourse particles in PWA is crucial given the recent shift in clinical practice towards therapy at discourse level, addressing functional communication in everyday life situations. The limited available literature does not provide clear answers on how Dutch PWA use discourse particles. Because in Dutch discourse particles are more frequent and have other types of functions compared to, for example, English, studying the use of Dutch discourse particles by PWA can provide valuable insights in their discourse production.

Introduction Social participation of people with aphasia (PWA) is a growing concern in healthcare. The impacts of aphasia in social participation are well known, but in Portugal, the number of assessment instruments that evaluate these difficulties is scarce.

Background The classical aphasia taxonomy has been incorporated into several widely utilised aphasia assessment tools, such as the Western Aphasia Battery (WAB). Validation of the WAB's classification typically involves comparing it with statistical clustering analysis results, using overall agreement rates as the referential index. Nevertheless, previous studies have documented diverse agreement rates. The classification function of the Mandarin version of the revised WAB (WAB-R) has not been validated. Additionally, the discussion on validating classification function is inadequate.
