Cognitive-communication disorders: what is communication, what is cognition, connection between communication and cognition. Definition caslpo (college of audiologists and speech-language pathologists of. Ontario: cognitive-communication disorders are communication impairments resulting from underlying cognitive deficits due to neurological impairment. These are difficulties in communicative competence (listening, speaking, reading, writing, conversation and social interaction) that result from underlying cognitive impairments (attention, memory, organization, information processing, problem solving and executive functions). In around 1975, clinicians who worked with people with right-hemisphere damage started noticing that although these clients did not show signs of aphasia, their interactions at the level of communication were not always normal. It was now clear that the right hemisphere played an important role on the treatment of communication at the semantic and also at the discourse level. Typical problems: pragmatics, linguistic difficulties, non-linguistic problems. Pragmatics: the art of conversation = Use of general social behaviors (greetings, thank yous, pleases, etc. ) Monopolozing conversation, without noticing lack of interest of listener.
