Auditory comprehension of "yes-no" questions by adult aphasics.

Two groups of adult aphasics were administered four different types of auditory-verbal "yes-no" questions. One group received questions including egocentric, environmental, pictorial, and relationship items in a consistent order. The second group received the same questions in random order. Support was found for the existence of a hierarchy of difficulty among the types of auditory-verbal "yes-no" questions. There was no significant difference between the two groups' performance even though the consistent presentation group was slightly superior to the random order group on the auditory-verbal "yes-no" questions.

Understanding death, dying, and the critically ill: a concern for speech-language pathologists.

The purpose of this article is to familiarize the speech-language pathologist with the behaviors that critically and terminally ill persons demonstrate. To work effectively with these groups of individuals, it appears essential that the clinician know the dynamics of the psychological stages associated with physical crisis, disability, death, and dying. This information is becoming more relevant to the speech-language pathologist, particularly as his/her role as a member of a rehabilitation team providing direct services to the aged expands.

The use of representational prompts in aphasia therapy.

The uses of representational prompts, which have received little specific attention in the literature of aphasia therapy, are discussed in this paper. A representational prompt is one that represents the concept pinpointed in the naming or matching response the prompt is intended to help elicit. It may fall into either of two major categories: symbolic, as in the form of a written word or realistic, as in the form of an object or picture. A number of examples are described that were clinically utilized by the authors within the framework of operant behavior principles, and a tentative outline is presented suggestive of the variety of such prompts that can be adapted to the precise and varying needs of the patient.
