The influence of topic and listener familiarity on aphasic discourse.

Abstract:

:This study investigated the effects of listener and topic familiarity on verbal output. A total of 32 subjects were included: 5 Broca's, 7 conduction, and 10 anomic aphasics; and 10 normal controls. Subjects performed story retell and procedural discourse tasks containing familiar and unfamiliar topics. Tasks were completed with a familiar listener (spouse) and an unfamiliar listener (examiner). Results indicated that topic familiarity significantly influenced verbal output, however specific findings were dependent on task. In procedural discourse, the amount of verbal output (number of T-units) was significantly greater on familiar topics. In contrast, the complexity (number of words and clauses per T-unit) was significantly greater on unfamiliar topics. On story retell, verbal output (number of T-units) was also greater on familiar topics. However, grammatic complexity did not increase with unfamiliar topics. Words per T-unit remained higher on familiar topics. The variable of listener familiarity was not found to be significant.
