Produktbeschreibung

Damage to the language dominant side of the brain usually results in a condition called aphasia. In aphasia, the speech of a person is impaired. Although, any type of damage can cause aphasia, it is primarily caused by stroke. Cognitive neuropsychological techniques aim to identify the essential language skills or modules that are not functioning properly in each individual rather than putting them into a specific subtype. A person may struggle with a single module or a number of modules. These methods necessitate a framework or theory for determining which skills/modules are required to execute various types of language activities. Different types of speech and language therapies, such as visual communication therapy (VIC), functional communication therapy (FCT) and melodic intonation therapy (MIT) are helpful in managing aphasia. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the cognitive neuropsychological approach to aphasia. The topics covered herein offer the readers new insights in this condition. This book includes contributions of experts and scientists which will provide innovative insights into aphasia.
