ABSTRACT
The following five chapters explore the model across five key domains, those of spoken word comprehension, spoken word production, reading, writing, and object and picture recognition. Each chapter focuses on a single domain, setting out the model as it relates to that aspect of the language-processing system and the deficits that may arise from disruption within that domain. Assessment is then addressed for each area, identifying:
• factors to exclude in assessment; • general issues related to word types and effects to observe; • indicators of impairment for each module or process within the domain; • key areas of assessment; • available assessment methods and tools, setting out the response types
involved; • additional assessment options; • interpretation of the findings; and • examples of case studies from the literature that exemplify the deficit
patterns.
