    Intensive Auditory Comprehension Treatment for People with Severe Aphasia: Outcomes and Use of Self-Directed Strategies A dissertation proposal submitted to the Division of Graduate Education and Research Of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY In the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders In the College of Allied Health Sciences Dissertation Committee: Aimee Dietz, Ph D., chair Lisa Kelchner, Ph.D. Robin Thomas, Ph.D. Pete Scheifele, Ph.D 2012 by Kelly Knollman-Porter Intensive Auditory Comprehension Treatment Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of an intensive (2 hours/day, 5 days/week for 3 weeks) treatment protocol on individuals with severe, chronic speech perception or auditory comprehension deficits associated with aphasia. Two experiments were implemented to examine this purpose. Experiment I: Single Word Comprehension Approach (SWCA) established the effectiveness of an intensive treatment protocol on single word auditory comprehension (n = 6). Alternatively, Experiment II: Speech Perception Approach (SPA) examined the outcomes of an intensive treatment protocol on speech perception in individuals with profound global aphasia (n = 2). The researcher employed an ABA single subject design for both experiments, and examined the following variables: (1) changes in single word comprehension (SWCA) or speech perception (SPA); (2) the number of self-initiated requests for repetition and lip-reading cues; (3) the effectiveness of repetition and lip-reading cues; (4) the indirect effects of the protocols on verbal expression (SWCA – naming; SPA – repetition; Both – narrative skills); (5) and generalization to functional communication environments. Results revealed that all participants enrolled in the SWCA or SPA exhibited a lack of awareness regarding their comprehension impairment at the onset of treatment.

  • Impact of a Reminder/Extinction Procedure on Threat-Conditioned Pupil Size and Skin Conductance Responses
    Downloaded from learnmem.cshlp.org on March 28, 2020 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Research Impact of a reminder/extinction procedure on threat- conditioned pupil size and skin conductance responses Josua Zimmermann1,2 and Dominik R. Bach1,2,3 1Computational Psychiatry Research, Department of Psychiatry, Psychotherapy, and Psychosomatics, Psychiatric Hospital, University of Zurich, 8032 Zurich, Switzerland; 2Neuroscience Centre Zurich, University of Zurich, 8057 Zurich, Switzerland; 3Wellcome Centre for Human Neuroimaging and Max Planck/UCL Centre for Computational Psychiatry and Ageing Research, University College London, London WC1 3BG, United Kingdom A reminder can render consolidated memory labile and susceptible to amnesic agents during a reconsolidation window. For the case of threat memory (also termed fear memory), it has been suggested that extinction training during this reconso- lidation window has the same disruptive impact. This procedure could provide a powerful therapeutic principle for treat- ment of unwanted aversive memories. However, human research yielded contradictory results. Notably, all published positive replications quantified threat memory by conditioned skin conductance responses (SCR). Yet, other studies mea- suring SCR and/or fear-potentiated startle failed to observe an effect of a reminder/extinction procedure on the return of fear. Here we sought to shed light on this discrepancy by using a different autonomic response, namely, conditioned pupil dilation, in addition to SCR, in a replication of the original human study. N = 71 humans underwent a 3-d threat condition- ing, reminder/extinction, and reinstatement, procedure with 2 CS+, of which one was reminded. Participants successfully learned the threat association on day 1, extinguished conditioned responding on day 2, and showed reinstatement on day 3.

  • Verbal Language Spontaneous Recovery After Ischemic Stroke
    Arq Neuropsiquiatr 2009;67(3-B):856-859 VERBAL LANGUAGE SPONTANEOUS RECOVERY AFTER ISCHEMIC STROKE Gabriela Camargo Remesso1, Ana Lúcia de Magalhães Leal Chiappetta1, Alexandre Santos Aguiar2, Márcia Maiumi Fukujima3, Gilmar Fernandes do Prado3 Abstract – Objective: To analyze the spontaneous recovery of the verbal language on patients who have had an ischemic stroke. Method: Retrospective analysis of 513 medical records. We characterize referring aspects for data identification, language deficit, spontaneous recovery and speech therapy. Results: The average age was 62.2 years old (SD= ±12.3), the average time of academic experience was 4.5 years (SD=±3.9), 245 (47.7%) patients presented language disturbance, 166 (54.0%) presented spontaneous recovery, from which 145 (47.2%) had expression deficit (p=0.001); 12 (3.9%) had comprehension deficit and 9 (2.9%) had both expression and comprehension deficit. Speech therapy was carried with 15 patients (4.8%) (p=0.001). Conclusion: The verbal language spontaneous recovery occurred in most of the patients being taken care of at the stroke out clinic, and expression disturbance was the most identified alteration. As expected, the left hemisphere was associated with the deficit and smoking and pregressive stroke were the language alteration primary associated factors.

  • Recovery from Disorders of Consciousness: Mechanisms, Prognosis and Emerging Therapies
    REVIEWS Recovery from disorders of consciousness: mechanisms, prognosis and emerging therapies Brian L. Edlow 1,2, Jan Claassen3, Nicholas D. Schiff4 and David M. Greer 5 ✉ Abstract | Substantial progress has been made over the past two decades in detecting, predicting and promoting recovery of consciousness in patients with disorders of consciousness (DoC) caused by severe brain injuries. Advanced neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques have revealed new insights into the biological mechanisms underlying recovery of consciousness and have enabled the identification of preserved brain networks in patients who seem unresponsive, thus raising hope for more accurate diagnosis and prognosis. Emerging evidence suggests that covert consciousness, or cognitive motor dissociation (CMD), is present in up to 15–20% of patients with DoC and that detection of CMD in the intensive care unit can predict functional recovery at 1 year post injury. Although fundamental questions remain about which patients with DoC have the potential for recovery, novel pharmacological and electrophysiological therapies have shown the potential to reactivate injured neural networks and promote re-emergence of consciousness. In this Review, we focus on mechanisms of recovery from DoC in the acute and subacute-to-chronic stages, and we discuss recent progress in detecting and predicting recovery of consciousness. We also describe the developments in pharmacological and electro- physiological therapies that are creating new opportunities to improve the lives of patients with DoC. Disorders of consciousness (DoC) are characterized In this Review, we discuss mechanisms of recovery by alterations in arousal and/or awareness, and com- from DoC and prognostication of outcome, as well as 1Center for Neurotechnology mon causes of DoC include cardiac arrest, traumatic emerging treatments for patients along the entire tempo- and Neurorecovery, brain injury (TBI), intracerebral haemorrhage and ral continuum of DoC.

The Atkinson–Shiffrin “modal model” forms the foundation of our understanding of human memory. It consists of three stores: Sensory Memory (SM), whose visual component is called iconic memory, Short-Term Memory (STM; also called working memory, WM), and Long-Term Memory (LTM). Since its inception, shortcomings of all three components of the modal model have been identified. While the theories of STM and LTM underwent significant modifications to address these shortcomings, models of the iconic memory remained largely unchanged: A high capacity but rapidly decaying store whose contents are encoded in retinotopic coordinates, i.e., according to how the stimulus is projected on the retina. The fundamental shortcoming of iconic memory models is that, because contents are encoded in retinotopic coordinates, the iconic memory cannot hold any useful information under normal viewing conditions Edited by: when objects or the subject are in motion.

Awakening: 'Spontaneous recovery’ from substance abuse among Aboriginal peoples in Canada Abstract There is a paucity of research on spontaneous recovery (SR) from substance abuse in general, and specific to Aboriginal peoples. There is also limited understanding of the healing process associated with SR. In this study, SR was examined among a group of Aboriginal peoples in Canada. Employing a decolonizing methodology, thematic analysis of traditional talking circle narratives identified an association between a traumatic life event and an ‘awakening.’ This ‘awakening’ was embedded in primary (i.e., consider impact on personal well-being) and secondary (i.e., implement alternative coping mechanism) cognitive appraisal processes and intrinsic and extrinsic motivation rooted in increased traditional Aboriginal cultural awareness and understanding. This contributed to both abstinence (i.e., recovery) and sustained well-being (i.e., continued abstinence).
