Aphasia induced by neurological injury or disease such as stroke or traumatic brain injury prevents people from conveying wishes and needs and from participating in everyday communication. Anomia, or word retrieval difficulties, is a persistent symptom in essentially all types of aphasia [1]. The ability to name, for example, objects and actions varies between individuals and may be affected to different degrees depending on location of the brain damage [2-4] as well as by linguistic factors and the frequency of occurrence of the words to be produced [5]. The targets of anomia treatment may vary, but they often concern either the semantic content or the sound structure of the lexeme of the words [6]. Typically, nouns are Objectives: To explore the effects of intensive treatment with phonological components analysis on naming of both objects and actions.

The touchscreen interface has become very popular for personal mobile devices, including smartphones, tablets, and personal desktops because of the efficient and direct interaction with the display. Because of the rapid growth in touch technology, users with motor control disabilities also have been encouraged strongly to interact with this touch technology in work, healthcare settings, and service sectors, such as grocery stores, airports, and financial institutions [1]. Users with motor control disabilities may exhibit different touchscreen performance and physical demands compared to non-disabled users. A previous study showed that disabled groups had significantly greater numbers of trials with misses and errors, and took longer to complete digit entry tasks on a touch interface compared to non-disPurpose: The objective of this study was to compare the effect of desktop conditions (mouse and touchscreen) on frontal lobe activity, motor function, and task performance on the part of patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and healthy control participants.

Purpose: This study investigated acoustic characteristics of fricatives produced in a repeated syllables task by speakers with Parkinson's disease (PD), focusing on temporal, intensity, and spectral moment analyses.
Methods: Ten participants with PD and nine neurologically-healthy participants were asked to repeat the two words, sigh and shy, ten times in a row and at a comfortable rate. Acoustic measurements were made for duration and intensity of each fricative and vowel, plus four coefficients of spectral moments for the fricatives.
Results: Results indicated a varying effect of duration difference between group, with marginally shorter duration of fricatives but much shorter duration of vowels in speakers with PD, as compared to controls; comparable vowel-fricative intensity differences for the two groups; and for the group with PD relatively intact coarticulation throughout fricative.
Conclusions: The findings suggest considering the complex effect of overall speech rate on different kinds of segments in PD. The findings also have implications for speech stimuli in research on coarticulation.
