Riabilitazione in fase di stabilizzazione: l'approccio cognitivo-linguistico
No full textStudies about the evidence-based recommendations for the clinical rehabilitation have demonstrated the effectiveness of cognitive-linguistic therapies for the treatment of subjects with acquired language deficits beyond the period of spontaneous recovery.
Within the theoretical frame of the cognitive approach, data from people with linguistic disorders can confirm or falsify models of the normal functioning of the language processing system; vice-versa, the normal functioning of the language processing system can be used to make predictions about the locus of a language disorder and to explain various patterns of deficits.
The Lexical-semantic system is the model of language processing used as a theoretical background for the cognitive-linguistic approach. The model is organised in a number of components each devoted to the processing of specific information about words and involved in different linguistic tasks. The model provides both theoretically driven interpretations of aphasic disorders and theoretically driven predictions about the outcome of remediation programs.
In the cognitive-linguistic approach, the language assessment process aims at exploring different levels of linguistic information: the phonological-orthographic level, the lexical-semantic level, the syntactic and the grammatical level.
When cognitive models support remediation programs it is allowed to: 1) correctly identify the damaged component (or components) of the system that is responsible for the deficit exhibited by aphasic subjects; 2) easily discover what kind of linguistic information the aphasic patient is missing; 3) build up remediation programs addressing specifically the various functional disorders; 4) clearly define the tasks and the stimuli to be selected; 4) evaluate the benefits of treatment by means of specific tools; 5) make predictions about the evolution of the aphasic disorder; 6) define clear goals for the remediation program in order to reduce the uncertainty about its quality, duration, and interruption; 7) define clear parameters denoting improvement of the subjects’ performance: significant reduction of the number of errors, variations in the quality of errors, significant improvement for the treated stimuli and the trained component

The Representation of Verbal Forms in the Italian Mental Lexicon: The Role of Grammatical Classes and Grammatical Categories
No full textIn this paper we first deal with the grammatical class distinction between nouns and verbs in lexical production and comprehension processes and describe some psycholinguistic data on Italian which provide support for the hypothesis that nouns and verbs are differently represented in the input and output components of the lexical processing system. Then we focus our discussion on the processing and the representation of verbs’ grammatical and morphological information in the mental lexicon; we analyze some data on lexical processing of Italian verbs which show that the information about inflectional class and mood represents an organizational criterion for the lexical representation of verbal forms
