“Acoustic and Neuroanatomical Predictors of Acquired Apraxia of Speech”

Alexandra Basilakos, Ph.D.
University of South Carolina

Apraxia of speech (AOS) is a motor speech impairment that can occur
concomitantly with post-stroke aphasia. Although AOS (a motor speech disorder)
and aphasia (a disorder of language) are distinct clinical entities,
evaluation of aphasic phonemic paraphasias and apraxic articulation errors is
challenging due to the fact that sound level errors that characterize each
disorder can manifest similarly when evaluated perceptually. This difficulty
has threatened the validity of clinical diagnostic measures, leaving
speech-language pathologists and other professionals with few tools with high
sensitivity and specificity to evaluate post-stroke speech impairments (i.e.,
AOS and dysarthria). This challenge also has implications for investigations
into the neuroanatomical correlates of AOS, especially considering the growing
body of work endeavoring to study how neuroimaging techniques can facilitate
clinical decision-making. Accordingly, the purpose of this presentation is to
discuss ways in which acoustic analyses and multimodality neuroimaging
techniques can be developed to improve the differential diagnosis of
post-stroke speech impairments.

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:
