The Foreign Accent Syndrome: A Reconsideration
TL;DR: Results supported the characterization of FAS patients as having a "generic" foreign accent and the hypothesis that FAS deficits are qualitatively different from that of Broca's aphasia, but comparison of this case with recent studies revealed the extent to which the constellation of phonetic features may vary among Fas patients, challenging the notion that a general prosodic disturbance is the sole underlying mechanism in FAS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crossed aphasias can be mirror image or anomalous. Case reports, review and hypothesis.
TL;DR: Analysis of 34 cases from the literature with anatomical documentation of lesion site suggests that they represent at least two populations, and there may be general conclusions concerning mechanisms of cerebral lateralization to be learned from the investigation of anomalous groups such as crossed aphasics.

TL;DR: This study provides an introduction to, and overview of, several papers that resulted from a randomized control trial that evaluated a new cognitive rehabilitation protocol designed to improve general strategic abilities in ways that would be expressed in a broad range of functional domains.
Journal ArticleDOI
Traumatic brain injury: predicting course of recovery and outcome for patients admitted to rehabilitation
TL;DR: The early course of recovery and functional outcome in TBI can be characterized in neurorehabilitation populations and is highly dependent on specific neuropathologic diagnosis, severity, and age.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, a patient with pure alexia was presented with a series of tachistoscopic tests involving words, letters, pictures, and lines, and a major deficit was revealed in the speed of identifying orthographic material.
