Discourse production, including the use of discourse particles, is crucial in everyday communication. Discourse particles (e.g., ja 'yeah') form a heterogeneous group of words that fulfil different functions such as structuring the discourse or …
It has been proposed that a decline in memory strategy use underlies part of the age-related decline in associative memory. Particularly internal strategies, which are very beneficial for memorization, tend to be used less as people age. We examined …
Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a neurodegenerative syndrome characterized by prominent language symptoms. Distinguishing between PPA variants, particularly non-fluent and logopenic variants, remains challenging. Language production is a crucial …
Individuals in the preclinical stage of Alzheimer's disease (amnestic mild cognitive impairment [aMCI] and mild dementia) primarily exhibit episodic memory deficits, while the presence of semantic control impairments remains understudied. To explore …
This book was written as a resource for teaching language production at the Bachelor’s and Master’s level or for initiating trainees on the topic more generally. Some basic knowledge of cognitive psychology and linguistics is assumed. These materials …
Objective: While declarative learning is dependent on the hippocampus, procedural learning and repetition priming can operate independently from the hippocampus, making them potential targets for behavioral interventions that utilize non-declarative …
Purpose: The three variants of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) differ in clinical presentation, underlying brain pathology, and clinical course, which stresses the need for early differentiation. However, brief cognitive tests that validly …
The literature on repetition priming in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is inconsistent, with some findings supporting spared priming while others do not. Several factors may explain these inconsistencies, including AD severity (e.g., dementia vs. Mild …
Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) is a clinical neurodegenerative syndrome with word finding problems as a core clinical symptom. Many aspects of word finding have been clarified in psycholinguistics using picture naming and a picture-word …
Nederlands De Sydney Language Battery (SYDBAT) is een screeningsinstrument ontworpen om PPA-subtypes uit elkaar te halen. Informatie over de test, validatie en normering vindt u in Eikelboom et al. (2017) en hier, waar u de test ook kunt vinden om te downloaden.
