Variations in Eye-Gaze Behaviors Evident When Five Adults With Aphasia-Based Alexia Read Multisentence Passages
CONCLUSIONS: People with aphasia display eye-gaze behaviors unique to them and differing from those of NAs when reading texts. Better understanding of the connection between specific eye-gaze behaviors and problems decoding words, linking them with lexical-semantic information, and constructing meaning from written content is necessary to further progress in developing effective assessment tools and treatments.PMID:37870914 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-23-00160 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Fatigue, Executive Functioning, and Quality of Life: Exploring Relationships in Children With Traumatic Brain Injury
CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study suggest that fatigue could be an important contributing factor to reduced quality of life for children with moderate-severe TBI. Medical and educational professionals, including speech-language pathologists, should assess children with TBI for the presence and impact of fatigue. Further research is needed to understand how different subdomains of fatigue might interact with executive functioning to impact quality of life.PMID:37870892 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-23-00106 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Episodic Thinking in Alzheimer's Disease Through the Lens of Language: Linguistic Analysis and Transformer-Based Classification
CONCLUSION: These results show that a loss of episodicity is an early effect in AD that is manifested in spontaneous speech and can be reliably measured by both humans and machines.PMID:37870893 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-23-00066 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

AI-Generated Images for Speech Pathology-An Exploratory Application to Aphasia Assessment and Intervention Materials
CONCLUSION: The ability to rapidly generate low-cost, high-quality images using AI is likely to be a major contribution to aphasia assessment and treatment going forward, particularly as advances in this technology continue.PMID:37856083 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-23-00142 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Evaluating the Efficacy of a Narrative Language Intervention for Bilingual Students
CONCLUSION: These findings that suggest a language-based approach to improving narrative production and comprehension yielded similar results for monolinguals and bilinguals and that neither monolinguals nor bilinguals in this study needed to meet a certain threshold of English language proficiency to benefit from the intervention.PMID:37856086 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-21-00185 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)

Flexibility for Intensity Dosing in Lingual Resistance Exercises: A Large Randomized Clinical Trial in Typically Aging Adults as Proof of Principle
CONCLUSIONS: All groups improved pressure generation. Intensity dosing differences did not affect strength gains, adherence, or detraining. Regular effort saliva swallow pressure may be most responsive to maximum intensity with biofeedback. The findings suggest flexibility in approach to tongue exercise protocols. Tongue muscles may differ from limb muscles in terms of dose response and neuroplasticity principles.PMID:37850842 | DOI:10.1044/2023_AJSLP-23-00113 (Source: American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology)
