When a task feels automatic, we rarely notice how much work it takes. Experimental research shows that changes in language or memory can slow down everyday decisions that depend on meaning—and sometimes make them less reliable.

Word fluency tasks are difficult for people with primary progressive aphasia and primary progressive apraxia of speech, but for different reasons. Letter fluency is hardest, and reduced performance in aphasia is closely linked to language severity.

What's special about you? It's a hard question when you're put on the spot. How many of us develop aphasia on a topic we know inside and out simply because we're being asked for an example?

Okay so why would an actor claim aphasia without recorded evidence of how it works, contradictory disabilities happen but this is a mess in the making #Dateline

I suspect they are waiting for a clarifying event (aspirating, inability to swallow, recurrence of aphasia, etc.) to tell the family, but the tea leaves tell me they have already moved into end-care.

1. Hospital has quietly canceled plans to move him to rehab
2. Despite him having an ongoing cognitive event (transient aphasia and diplopia, plus ongoing hypoactive delirium), they are not ordering tests.
3. His hospital room is now the “these guys are dying of dementia“ room

Christmas day, there was no activity on the chat. Tom, F, G, and I visited P in the hospital. She's not a large woman, and she looks absolutely tiny in the hospital bed. She was feeding herself, though, which Tom says is a huge improvement from even the day before. Seems to be some mild aphasia (9)

I’m looking into voice recognition that might work a little better than Siri for stroke sufferers with aphasia. I'm finding a little through Google, but any personal recommendations would be welcome. #accessibility

A review of experimental studies suggests that aphasia and dementia often raise the mental effort required for language production and comprehension during categorization tasks. This added load can spill over into everyday language use, making communication harder.

Now as an Academic who has done a lot of work with Dementia patients and people with Post-Stroke Aphasia I know the ethical issues with interacting with people with these sorts of conditions.
Lovely to see those all breezed pass in the name of no one thinking about anything.

The comments on this are all about how sweet it is and I feel insane. Using AI to make fake memories of your grandma with dementia and telling her they happened and then filming her reaction

I try to reassure myself that aphasia is actually pretty common and not unique to dementia! But yeah, my word recall is much slower and much worse than before

How do researchers test categorizing when language is altered by aphasia or dementia? Samara Hellenn Juvito da Costa and Jan Edson Rodrigues Leite review 25 experiments. Many report slower, less accurate sorting by meaning, with semantic tasks often most strained.
