Background: People who report mild anomia following stroke often score near or within normal limits on traditional assessments of language. Based on evidence of cognitive influences on linguistic production in people with aphasia, this study examined non-linguistic, cognitive function and its potential influence on word retrieval in individuals with mild anomia. Aims: This study explored the following research questions: Do people with mild anomia have impaired performance on tasks which… Expand

Attention and other cognitive deficits in aphasia: presence and relation to language and communication measures.
  • L. Murray
  • Psychology, Medicine
  • American journal of speech-language pathology
  • 2012
TLDR
The findings accorded well with prior research identifying attention and other cognitive deficits in most but not all individuals with aphasia; heterogeneity in the types and severity of attention andother cognitive symptoms among individuals with cognitive impairments; and potent associations among attention, language, and other Cognitive domains. Expand
Between-session intra-individual variability in sustained, selective, and integrational non-linguistic attention in aphasia
TLDR
A significant effect of task complexity on reaction time (RT) during a non-linguistic attention task, in both PWA and controls, was found and different patients exhibited different patterns of BS-IIV, indicating the existence of inter-individual variability in BS- IIV within the PWA group. Expand
Attention in individuals with aphasia: Performance on the Conners’ Continuous Performance Test – 2nd edition
TLDR
The Conners’ Continuous Performance Test-II is a feasible measure for persons with aphasia, which may assist in identifying attention performance deficits that potentially affect language. Expand
Investigating Attentional Allocation With Eye Tracking During Category Learning in People With Aphasia
Studies have identified deficits in attention in individuals with aphasia in language and nonlanguage tasks. Attention may play a role in the construction and use of language, as well as in learning… Expand
Insights into language processing in aphasia from semantic priming and semantic judgement tasks
The nature of semantic impairment in people with aphasia (PWA) provides the background to the current study, which examines whether different methods of semantic assessment can account for such… Expand
Individual variability in attention and language performance in aphasia: a study using Conner’s Continuous Performance Test
ABSTRACTBackground: Individual variability  in attention in aphasia is important because moment-to-moment fluctuations in attention could might influence language performance.Aims: Moment-to-moment… Expand
Word form encoding is under attentional demand: evidence from dual-task interference in aphasia
TLDR
The results suggest that post-lexical encoding processes are under attentional demand, and increased error rates in left-hemisphere damaged participants under dual-task conditions should shed light on which encoding processes need attentional resources. Expand
Language‐Specific Attention Treatment for Aphasia: Description and Preliminary Findings
TLDR
Language‐specific attention treatment is described, a specific skill‐based approach for aphasia that exploits increasingly complex linguistic tasks that focus attention that demonstrates excellent inter‐ and intrarater reliability and adequate test‐retest reliability. Expand
Individual variability in attention and language performance in aphasia: a study using Conner’s Continuous Performance Test
ABSTRACT Background: Individual variability in attention in aphasia is important because moment-to-moment fluctuations in attention could might influence language performance. Aims: Moment-to-moment… Expand
The Unfolding of Cognitive Effort During Sentence Processing: Pupillometric Evidence From People With and Without Aphasia.
TLDR
Results indicate that the attentional state of PWA in this study was not consistently supportive of adequate task engagement and performance, and adds to the body of evidence supporting the validity of pupillometric tasks for the study of aphasia. Expand

Spoken language of individuals with mild fluent aphasia under focused and divided-attention conditions.
TLDR
It is suggested that decrements of attentional capacity or its allocation may negatively affect the quantity and quality of the spoken language of individuals with mild aphasia. Expand
An Investigation of Attention Allocation Deficits in Aphasia
TLDR
The results showed that normal subjects' overall latencies in detecting phonetic targets decreased as the target occurrence probability increased in both implicit and explicit instruction conditions and the absence of probability effects for the aphasic subjects suggests that their attention control system might be inefficient so that task-demand cues (probability and attention allocation instruction) were not utilized properly.

Selective attention and aphasia in adults: Preliminary findings
TLDR
Slower responding to right- as opposed to left-sided targets on invalid and uncued trials was correlated with impaired performance on six of seven language measures for patients with left-hemisphere damage. Expand
The Effects of Varying Attentional Demands on the Word Retrieval Skills of Adults with Aphasia, Right Hemisphere Brain Damage, or No Brain Damage
  • L. Murray
  • Medicine, Psychology
  • Brain and Language
  • 2000
TLDR
For adults with aphasia or RBD, there is a negative relation between attention impairments and word retrieval abilities, and error type analysis indicated that semantic and phonological aspects of word retrieval were influenced by increased attentional demands. Expand
Hemispheric Contributions to Lexical Ambiguity Resolution: Evidence from Individuals with Complex Language Impairment Following Left-Hemisphere Lesions
TLDR
Overall, the left-hemisphere-damaged subjects appeared able to exhaustively access meanings for lexical ambiguities rapidly, but were unable to reduce the level of activation for contextually inappropriate meanings at both short and long ISIs, unlike control subjects. Expand
Auditory vigilance during divided task attention in aphasic individuals
Abstract Little research has been reported on auditory vigilance skills of aphasic individuals, particularly under a dual task paradigm designed to divide attention. Six aphasic males and six gender… Expand

TLDR
A summary of research focused on the relationship between attention and language impairments in aphasia and a discussion of why it might be important for clinicians to address the attention abilities of their aphasic patients are discussed. Expand
Review Attention and aphasia: theory, research and clinical implications
Over the past decade, there has been increasing interest in the integrity of attention in adults with aphasia. This review paper examines this issue by first introducing attention theory and… Expand
Processing of lexical ambiguities in aphasia
TLDR
Wernicke's and Broca's aphasics performed a lexical decision task wherein they had to decide whether the third word of an auditorily presented triplet series of words was "real" or not, and showed selective access to different meanings of the ambiguous words. Expand
