Term
| Auditory Phonological Analysis |
|
Definition
| Identifies speech sounds by analysing the string of sounds heard |
|
|
Term
| Impaired auditory phonological analysis |
|
Definition
'word sound deafness'
profound affect on auditory comprehension
retain ability to to discriminate between non verbal sounds
impaired ability to repeat words/non words
can be supported through semantics, slowed speech and lip reading
shorter words harder |
|
|
Term
| Phonological input lexicon |
|
Definition
| Store of auditory word recognition units; accesses auditory word forms by recognising the word as a familiar one |
|
|
Term
| Impaired phonological input lexicon |
|
Definition
'word form deafness'
Can repeat but not discriminate between real words and non words
high frequency words may be easier
reading comprehension not affected
|
|
|
Term
| Semantic system impairment |
|
Definition
impaired comprehensions of both auditory and written input modalities impaired
Image-ability effects typically present
Can show category effects
|
|
|
Term
| Phonological output lexicon |
|
Definition
| A store of spoken word forms; provides access to spoken word forms |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| generates a metrically specified phoneme string for production |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| converts phonemes into neuromuscular commands |
|
|
Term
| Impairment of phonological output lexicon |
|
Definition
delays and failures in word retrieval
circumlocutions
semantic errors
phonological errors or the production of word fragments
possible frequency effect |
|
|
Term

phonological errors and neologisms
Possible length effects
Comprehension and written word retrieval intact |
|
|
Term

|
Definition
Apraxia of speech
phonetic errors
written word retrieval intact |
|
|
Term
| Visual orthographic analysis |
|
Definition
identifies letters
codes letters for positions
may parse into graphemes |
|
|
Term
| Orthographic input lexicon |
|
Definition
| store of visual word recognition units; accesses written word forms by recognising the word as a familiar one |
|
|
Term
| Orthographic output lexicon |
|
Definition
A store of the spelling of familiar words or written word forms
input to the lexicon arises from either the semantic system of phonological output lexicon |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Storage of graphemic representations (abstract with information about case not specified) |
|
|
Term
