Document Summary
The new form of apraxia: the case of ck. Large white area is the stroke (parietal lobe) on the right hemisphere. Appeared fairly normal, struggled with cooking and eating. Ck is thought to have a somatic sensory motor form of apraxia touch information with motor output. Apraxia is always linked to some sort of neuro-deficit. Apraxia is associated typically with a left hemisphere impairment** Persons with down syndrome perceive speech with their right cerebral hemisphere. Probably not a good thing because that hemisphere is not optimized for speech perception. People with downs produce speech and have movement praxis lateralized to the right cerebral hemisphere. Verbal motor difficulty harder for person to demonstrate a task based off of verbal instruction; easier to demonstrate that task based on visual directions. Corpus callosum is a lot smaller in people with downs. Article highlights connections of the right and left hemispheres to the right and left hands.
