Subtypes of Wernicke's aphasia – Can Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT-III- HR) serve as a diagnostic tool?
Recent research in the area of aphasia emphasise the need of a more detailed description of auditory comprehension deficits than the one offered in the traditional classification of Wernicke's aphasia. Thus Ardilla (2010) states that in diagnosing auditory comprehension deficits one needs to distinguish between three subtypes of Wernicke's aphasia depending on the level of lexical processing that is impaired (phonological, lexical or semantic). The aim of this study is to establish whether PPVT-III-HR (Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test III, Croatian version), a test of receptive vocabulary, might be a diagnostic tool based on which one could discern which level of auditory processing is primarily impaired, according to the Patterson & Shewell's (1987) cognitive neuropsychological model of auditory comprehension of single words. In order to establish the functionality of a specific level of lexical processing of single words we are going to use specific tasks form the PALPA (Psycholingistic Assessment of Language Processing in Aphasia) tests, which test the ability of auditory discrimination of word and non-word, repetition of word and non-word, auditory lexical decision and synonym judgements. The distinction between subtypes of Wernicke's aphasia and the better insight into the primary impairment is of great importance not only for our better understanding of auditory processing but also for the planning of the most adequate therapy approach for the people with Wernicke's aphasia.
