npte - neuro (communication disorders)
Which of the following is an area in the left cerebral hemisphere that serves as the motor area for speech?
Broca's area
impairment in the rhythm and inflection of speech
Dysprosody
dysarthria
a motor disorder of speech that is caused by an UMN lesion that affects the muscles that are used to articulate words and sounds. speech is often slurred.
inability to interpret information
agnosia
The inability to read or comprehend written language is known as:
alexia
Which of the following treatment strategies would be least effective for patients with agraphia?
allow the patient to write on a white board for communication
Broca's Aphasia
also known as "expressive aphasia"
Wernicke's Aphasia
also known as "receptive aphasia"
Wernicke's Aphasia
also known as receptive aphasia. -comprehension impaired -impaired writing -poor naming ability -motor impairment not typical d/t the distance from Wernicke's area to the motor cortx
structure often contributing to slurred and impaired speech
tongue
True or False: Aphasia is an acquired neurological impairment of processing for receptive and/or expressive language
true
True or false: Aphasia often is associated with head trauma, CVA, tumor or infection?
true
a non-dysarthric and non-aphasic impairment of prosody and articulation of speech
verbal apraxia
term for receptive aphasia
wernicke's
fluent aphasia
word output and speech production are functional. speech lacks any substance, use of paraphasias.
Global Aphasia
comprehension is severely impaired, impaired naming, writing, repetition skills. may involuntarily verbalize, usually without correct context
Speech interruption caused by difficulty finding words is characteristic of which type of aphasia?
conduction aphasia
useful strategy when treating partients with aphasia
cueing
a motor disorder of speech often caused by UMN lesion
dysarthria
speech often noted as slurred
dysarthria
Which of the following speech disorders is characterized by changes in vocal quality such as harshness, hoarseness or breathiness?
dysphonia
non-fluent aphasia frequently involves what part of the brain?
frontal lobe
A patient who has suffered a cerebrovascular accident and is unable to articulate and comprehend speech is suffering from:
global aphasia
aphasia
impairment of processing for receptive and/or expressive language
Which of the following best describes dysarthria?
inability to articulate
Aphasia is likely to result from a stroke involving the:
left hemisphere
global aphasia
lesion of the frontal, temporal, parietal lobes
conducition aphasia
lesions of arcuate fasciculus, supramarginal gyrus
wernicke's aphasia
lesions of posterior region of superior temporal gyrus
broca's aphasia
lesions of the 3rd convolution of frontal lobe
Broca's Aphasia
most common form of aphasia intact auditory and reading comprehension, impaired epitition and naming skills, frustration with language skill erroes.
type of skills used to communicate with severe aphasia
nonverbal
non-fluent aphasia
poor word output, increased effort for producing speech. poor articulation.
Which term is most consistent with Wernicke's aphasia?
receptive
Which term describes a person who is able to verbalize, but unable to comprehend verbal commands?
receptive aphasia
abbreviation for medical condition often associated with aphasia
CVA
the hemisphere of the brain most often dominant for language
Left
True or False: Wernkicke's aphasia and conduction aphasia are two types of non-fluent aphasia
False, fluent aphasia
True or False: Fluent aphasia is frequently caused by a lesion in the frontal lobe of the dominant hemisphere?
False, temporal lobe
fluent aphasia
speech is present but contains little meaningful communication
fluent aphasia frequently involves what parts of the brain?
temporal lobe, Wenicke's area, or regions of parietal lobe
