Aphasia Exam 1
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Know the 4 models for systems- based approach (read the bulleted notes) | DIVA (motor speech), Adaptive Control of Rational Thought (cognition), Dual streams (language), Integrative Framework of Swallowing (swallowing) |
| Know what is the WHO Framework and that is allows us to bill/treat for aphasia | Focuses on body structure and functioning; More holistic service delivery approach; Helps individuals communicate and engage in daily life activities; Focuses on quality of life with aphasia |
| Know the modalities that are a part of aphasia (case study) | Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking |
| Know possible treatment methods for aphasia (how they are customized) | Group therapy, One-on-one, Pharmacotherapy, Computer-based, Telepractice, Behavioral therapy |
| Know the three main structures of the brain | Cerebrum, Brainstem, Cerebellum |
| Know how many cranial nerve pairs exist | 12 pairs |
| Left hemisphere | language, speech, reading, writing, logic, and analytical processing |
| Right hemisphere | visuospatial skills, facial recognition, emotion/prosody, music, and processing overall context |
| How are left/right hemisphere connected? | Connected by the corpus callosum |
| Why do we care about the temporoparietal junction? | Theory of mind: understanding other people’s thoughts, beliefs, and intentions; Reading, writing |
| Know the Circle of Willis and which are arteries are important | Moves blood flow around, Ring of arteries at base of brain, Less severe lesion: ACA, Very severe lesion: MCA and PCA, Don't want clot blocking flow |
| Frontal lobe | Cognition, motor, language, emotional prosody production |
| Parietal lobe | Sensory processing, language, emotional prosody comprehension |
| Temporal | Auditory processing, language comprehension, theory of mind, reading, writing, memory |
| Know if the subcortical structures matter for speech/language | Basal ganglia: primarily motor, but also language & cognition; Thalamus: sensory, mood, language, cognition, consciousness |
| Know if the brainstem matters for speech/ language | contains cranial nerve nuclei, vital function systems; respiration, cardiac function, swallowing, etc. |
| Know if the cerebellum matters for speech/language | sensorimotor functions (coordination, timing, motor learning); balance, movement, planning, posture, locomotion, cognition |
| CT | Structure, bleeding, stroke, injury; X-ray-like, gray/black/white |
| MRI | Brain structure; Detailed brain tissue |
| What is a stroke/CVA (cerebrovascular accident)? | interruption of blood supply to the brain |
| What is anoxia? | loss of blood to the brain; toxic, anoxic, and stagnant anoxia |
| Ischemic | arterial blockage |
| hemorrhagic stroke | artery bursts |
| What is an infectious disease? | meningitis: infection of meninges; encephalitis: infection of brain tissue |
| What is a neuroprogressive disease? | ALS, motor neuron disease, degeneration of motor neurons |
| traumatic brain injury (TBI): Close-head and open-head | blow to the head; rapid movement of brain inside skull; rapid change in air pressure affecting brain (blast injury) |
| Do tumors take up space? | abnormal masses of tissue that are space-occupying |
