Abstract:
Aphasia intervention has made increasing use of technology in recent years. The evidence base, which is largely limited to the investigation of spoken language outcomes, indicates positive treatment effects for people with mild to moderate levels of aphasia. Outcomes for those with severe aphasia however, are less well documented and - where reported - present less consistent gains for measures of spoken output. In light of this issue for existing approaches, and due to the fact that non-speech focused interventions might therefore be more suitable, the current thesis explores the use of compu

Abstract:
The purpose of the current investigation was to explore the effects of aphasia on working memory (WM) in bilingual adults. Available research supports the notion that there are strong positive correlations between WM capacity and language function in monolingual adults with aphasia and that aphasic adults' ability to comprehend language may be predicted by WM capacity. The relationship between WM capacity and auditory comprehension, as measured by the Token Test, was investigated in bilingual adults with and without aphasia. Additional areas of investigation included examination of the influen

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to determine if a scoring rubric developed by the investigator could differentiate scores on the Drawing Assessment Protocol (DAP) (Alarcon, 2007) for persons with aphasia and for persons with no history of the specific language disorder. From these scores, the study also sought to explore whether adults with aphasia perform differently on the DAP compared to adults with no history of acquired brain injury. Additionally, the study was designed to investigate possible performance correlations between how adults with aphasia perform on DAP and to the drawing section

Jones, Bethany Anne. "Comparing satisfaction with social networks of adults with and without aphasia." Thesis, University of Iowa, 2017. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/5528.

Abstract:
Background: A social network is made up of the people with whom individuals make communicative contact throughout their lives. The socioemotional selectivity theory predicts that older adults selectively prune their social networks to make them more intimate and satisfying (Carstensen, 1992). Aphasia, a disorder that affects mostly older adults, has been found to reduce social network size. Prior research does not adequately address satisfaction with that change. Aims: The current qualitative study investigates the hypothesis that aphasia reduces social participation and satisfaction with soci

Pound, Carole. "An exploration of the friendship experiences of working-age adults with aphasia." Thesis, Brunel University, 2013. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/7696.

Full text
Abstract:
Aphasia impairs using and understanding language, and thus impacts on communication, identity and relationships. However, little research has investigated how people with aphasia understand friends and friendship. This Participatory Action Research (PAR) study explored how younger adults with aphasia experience friendship. Participants were 28 people with aphasia, some of whom were members of the Research Group. Data from 12 initial interviews in Phase 1 of the study led to a model of friendship and aphasia. This underpinned development of peer-led Friendship Events in Phase 2 of the study, af

Abstract:
Background: A previous systematic review found limited data regarding social participation in working-age people with aphasia (PWA). This population has many roles to fulfill, that are negatively affected by aphasia. A review of recent studies may reveal more information on the challenges in re-establishing social roles and thus may inform treatment thereof. Method: The aim was to provide an updated systematic review on social participation in PWA under 65 years of age. Studies from 2005-2017 were searched from Scopus, Pubmed and Psychinfo. Search terms were derived from the International Cla
