Description
Volume 3 in the series "Handbook of Neuropsychology", covers traditional approaches to the topic, as well as new techniques for investigating language disorders. Separate chapters provide detailed treatments of each of the prominent symptoms of aphasia (e.g., deficits of speech production and perception, of naming, repetition, comprehension, etc.), including cognitive and psycholinguistic interpretations. The cognitive disorders that are related to aphasia, including memory and attentional impairments, limb apraxia and acalculia, are discussed in separate chapters. Supplementing these reviews of aphasia research are chapters detailing other approaches to the study of language/brain relationships, including functional neuroimaging, event-related potentials, direct cortical stimulation and study of "split brain" patients. Each chapter provides a current review of its topic, with extensive references, providing invaluable reference material for the researcher and clinician.
Table of Contents
Section 1. The Study of Aphasia History of research on adult language and its disorders (R. De Bleser). Neuroanatomy of the classical syndromes of aphasia (N.F. Dronkers, J. Larsen). The signs of aphasia (G. Hickok, U. Bellugi). Comparative aphasiology: cross-language studies of aphasia (L. Menn). Bilingual and polyglot aphasia (M. Paradis). Section 2. Understanding the Symptoms of Aphasia Deficits of speech production and speech perception in aphasia (S.E. Blumstein). Words fail me: symptoms and causes of naming breakdown in aphasia (L. Nickels). Repetition disorders in aphasia: theoretical and clinical implications (N. Martin). Effects of language impairment on sentence comprehension (E.M. Saffran). More than just words: sentence production in aphasia (R.S. Berndt). Discourse ability in patients with unilateral left and right hemisphere brain damage (H. Brownell, O. Friedman). Acquired reading disorders (M. Greenwald). Spelling disorders: cognitive theory in clinical practice (B. Rapp, D. Gotsch). Section 3: Related Cognitive Disorders . Relations between language and memory deficits (R.C. Martin, M.L. Freedman). Language and attention (H.B. Coslett). Disorders of skilled movement (L.M. Maher, L.J. Gonzalez Rothi). Disorders of body representation (C. Semenza). Disturbances of number processing and calculation (L. Cipolotti, N. Van Harskamp). Section 4. Alternative Methods for the Study of Language/Brain Relationships. Functional neuroimaging of language (S.L. Small, M.W. Burton). Event-related brain potentials and aphasia (A.D. Friederici).
