Visuospatial analysis of the printed word.

L Glaser, A Vandemark

    Journal of Communication Disorders

    Summary

    Individuals with aphasia can use a right hemisphere visuospatial strategy for reading. This approach proved effective for both aphasic and normal adults, suggesting a potential reading aid.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Linguistics

    Background:

    • Left hemisphere damage from cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or head trauma often impairs phonetic analysis in aphasic individuals.
    • Aphasia significantly impacts the ability to process written language, particularly phonological decoding.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate whether aphasic adults utilize a right hemisphere visuospatial strategy for reading.
    • To compare the reading strategy use between aphasic and normal adults.

    Main Methods:

    • Aphasic and normal adult participants were assessed for their use of visuospatial strategies in analyzing written words and word parts.
    • Performance was evaluated based on the application of a hypothesized right hemisphere reading approach.

    Main Results:

    • Both aphasic and normal adults demonstrated the use of a right hemisphere visuospatial strategy.
    • The performances of the two groups were comparable, indicating similar strategy utilization.

    Conclusions:

    • A right hemisphere visuospatial strategy appears to be a viable reading approach for individuals with aphasia.
    • This finding suggests potential therapeutic applications for improving reading in aphasic populations.
