SPCH3106 Lecture Notes - Lecture 7: Agraphia, Phoneme, Homophone
Document Summary
Assessment: effects: lexical semantic all words, regular & irregular, lexical non-semantic bypasses ss, all words, regular & irregular, non-lexical sound/letter conversion, regular words & non words. Graphemic assembly buffer ( anticipate impairment that the longer the words, the harder to spell) Subtest 44: regularity (can they spell regular and irregular words accurately?) Subtest 45: nonword spelling (only 1 route: from aa- apc-pab-ptgc-gab) Lexical vs non-lexical routes , ss to gol. Subtest 46: homophone spelling (to dictation + definition) Treatment: behrmann 1987, hillis 1991, beeson 1999, hillis & caramazza 1987, pound 1996, panton & marshall 2008. Bear & bare , word link from ss to gol, activate the info in ss to matching representation in gol. Behrmann, 1987: patient ccm with surface agraphia, could produce plausible spellings but not appropriate to semantic/lexical context (patient would produce the opposite homophones. Confusing the writing of homophones which is a key feature for person with surface agraphia)
