“Deficits in Action and Object Naming: Evidence from Acute Stroke and Primary
Progressive Aphasia”

Bonnie Breining, Ph.D.
Johns Hopkins University

Neurological damage can result in selective deficits of naming for both
objects and actions.  However, assessment of individuals with aphasia often
focuses on object naming, making it insensitive for detecting certain language
deficits and patterns of recovery or worsening, as well as providing an
incomplete view of the neural regions involved in naming.  Furthermore,
although dissociations have been observed both following stroke and as a
result of neurodegenerative conditions such as primary progressive aphasia
(PPA), results from the different etiologies are seldom compared directly.

In this talk, I discuss recent work investigating the neural substrates of
object and action naming.  Individuals with PPA and acute stroke were given
the same assessments: the Boston Naming Test to evaluate object naming and the
Hopkins Action Naming Assessment to evaluate action naming.  We compare the
patterns of impairment and the association between behavioral performance and
damage to neural regions of interest in these individuals in order to develop
a more comprehensive picture of the brain-behavior relationships critical for
naming.

C-Star Lecture Series:

The Center for the Study of Aphasia Recovery (C-STAR;
http://cstar.sc.edu/lecture-series/) houses researchers who examine the
effects of behavioral treatment, brain stimulation, and residual brain
function (brain plasticity) on recovery from aphasia. C-STAR is a
collaboration between researchers from the University of South Carolina, the
Medical University of South Carolina, Johns Hopkins University, and the
University of California, Irvine. The Center is funded through the National
Institute of Deafness and Communication Disorders (NIDCD) grant #NIH P50
DC014664. Biweekly public lectures, given by members and guests of C-STAR, are
accessible live and online. Recordings of the lectures can be viewed via
C-STAR YouTube channel:
