Interaction focused approach aphasia Flashcards
(11 cards)
What is the methodology of the interaction focused approach/CA?
- record naturally occuring conversations
- view recording, select and transcribe relevant parts
- analyse to investigate norms of convos and how they are followed
What are the relevant areas of interaction focused approach/CA in aphasia?
- turns
- actions
- sequences of actions
- repair
- topic
What is of particular note in aphasia CA?
how aphasic impairment can lead to repair, and how the repair impacts turns and sequences of turns
How do word searches effect repair?
- self-initiation self repair
- PWA may have difficulty acheiving repair
- disrupts progressivity of turns
How does aggramatism effect repair?
- regulary leads to listener not understanding -> other initiation repair
- disrupts progressivity of sequences of turns
How are conversations with anomia different to typical?
- self-initiated repair frequent
- PWA may have difficulty acheiving repair
- long sequences of repair ending up as self-initiated-other repair, or being abandoned
Why does anomia matter in conversations?
- theres an expectation to construct your turn so it progresses as smoothly as possible to the end
- doesnt happen
- difficulty draws attention to the reason for difficulty (different/disabled)
How are conversations with aggrammatism different to normal?
- can affect how PWA turn constructed (can result in CP difficulty understanding)
- typically resolved through other initiated repair
- these become more common and slow the conversation to check meaning
Why do differences from aggramatism matter?
- norm to design turn to be understandable
- other initiations highlight this is regularly not happening
- can draw attention to reason (identifies them as different/disabled)
Why might PWA adapt their convos?
- to try and lessen the occurence of repair which would occur if they tried to speak normally
What are the distinctive features of studies looking at interaction focused interventions?
- naturally occuring convos between PWA and SO is basis
- SOs typically targeted in intervention
- intervention often to reduce/eliminate unhelpful adaptations and promote new interactional adaptive behaviours between them
