With TBI, flaccid dysarthria is the most common type.

The social interaction theory of language development has the most direct implications for SLPs and teacher because it illustrates the importance of adult-child interactions in order to foster successful language development.

Another type of aphasia, global aphasia, results from damage to extensive portions of the language areas of the brain. Individuals with global aphasia have severe communication difficulties and may be extremely limited in their ability to speak or comprehend language.

If the brain injury has damaged the part of the brain responsible for expressive language the person may have trouble making sentences or finding the right words.

No matter what type of TBI you have, damage to your brain happens right away. Later, you may develop seizures or brain swelling. Doctors treat these medical problems. TBI can cause speech, language, thinking, and swallowing problems.

A new study shows that a certain part of our brain, called the prefrontal cortex, is particularly important for fine-tuning communication depending on the person we are communicating with. Patients with damage to the prefrontal cortex are still able to communicate.

There are several areas of the brain that play a critical role in speech and language.

• Broca’s area, located in the left hemisphere, is associated with speech production and articulation.
• Wernicke’s area is a critical language area in the posterior superior temporal lobe connects to Broca’s area via a neural pathway.

Bridging directly connects billions of neurons in one brain with those in a second, mimicking the brain’s natural bridge between its two halves. Remarkably, two people, once Bridged, seem to be able to share all of their sensations, daydreams, memories and thoughts.

In a new study, technology replaces language as a means of communicating by directly linking the activity of human brains. Nicolelis and his co-authors described this achievement as the first “organic computer” with living brains tethered together as if they were so many microprocessors.

Dual consciousness is a theoretical concept in neuroscience. It is proposed that it is possible that a person may develop two separate conscious entities within their one brain after undergoing a corpus callosotomy.

Retrocognitive, precognitive, and intuitive telepathy describes the transfer of information about the past, future or present state of an individual’s mind to another individual.

The dual brain model of psychology (developed by Fredric Schiffer) revolves around the hypothesis that each hemisphere of our brain has a mind of its own. And, that although these two autonomous minds work together, often, they simply disagree.

To date, dual processing theory provides the most compelling explanation how both intuitive and rational cognitive processes integrate information on benefits and harms and provide not only descriptive assessments of decision-making, but possibly may lead to insights that improve the way decisions are made.

The Dual Process Theory has been adapted from the psychology literature to describe how clinicians think when reasoning through a patient’s case (1). The dual processes, or System 1 and System 2, work together by enabling a clinician to think both fast and slow when reasoning through a patient’s presentation.

“Thinking, Fast and Slow” spans all three of these phases. It is an astonishingly rich book: lucid, profound, full of intellectual surprises and self-help value. It is consistently entertaining and frequently touching, especially when Kahneman is recounting his collaboration with Tversky.

The main thesis is that of a dichotomy between two modes of thought: “System 1” is fast, instinctive and emotional; “System 2” is slower, more deliberative, and more logical….Thinking, Fast and Slow.

Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman | Audiobook | Audible.com.

In his mega bestseller, Thinking, Fast and Slow, Daniel Kahneman, world-famous psychologist and winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics, takes us on a groundbreaking tour of the mind and explains the two systems that drive the way we think.
