OBJECTIVE: This case study describes the neuropsychological assessment and cognitive rehabilitation of a patient who developed word retrieval deficits for objects and people's names, following an episode of viral meningo-encephalitits. It shows the implementation and outcome of two techniques adapted to the patient's individual characteristics and context providing a more ecologically valid approach. METHODS: In the first technique, "verbal semantic association", the patient was required to describe what she knew about an object as a strategy to help her retrieve its name. In the second one, "face-name association" she was taught to apply a visual-imagery technique in order to retrieve relevant people's names. RESULTS: Following the implementation of these procedures there was a decrease in the number of episodes of failure to retrieve objects and people's names in her everyday life context. CONCLUSION: The improvement found in the patient's ability to retrieve words is discussed in terms of the utility of cognitive rehabilitation programmes and cognitive models of language processing

ABSTRACTThis paper is based upon a longitudinal study of L2 attrition in a bilingual child who grew up in an L2 migration background (Germany) and moved to the country of origin (Portugal) at the age of nine, experiencing a dominance shift from theL2 tothe L1. The study aims to analyze the effects of language loss in L2 German. Data collection started 3 weeks after the child's immersion in the Portuguese setting and ended 18 months later. Results show first effects of language attrition after 5 months of reduced exposure to German; 18 months later the informant showed severe word retrieval difficulties and was unable to produce complete sentences in her L2. The findings thus confirm the conclusions of other studies on child language attrition, which attest to strong effects of attrition when the loss of contact with the target language occurs in childhood.

The study reported in this article investigates the use of a diagnostic and remedial adaptive computer tool to help students with low vision decrease their spelling mistakes. The results show the following: a clear change in the student's performance, from phonetic writing to process writing; a gradual evolution to automation in spelling and model word retrieval; and the central role of the computer tools in improving the student's performance.

Vocabulary Bombardment is an evidence based therapy procedure, in which the client is made to listen to amplified target words only through auditory modality. A standardized set of words are provided in a repeated and intensified manner for a period of time. Individuals with Broca’s aphasia have naming difficulties with limited vocabulary, therefore the aim of this study focuses on effect of intense vocabulary bombardment on word retrieval through auditory mode for a client with aphasia. A case study was done on an individual with Broca’s aphasia. Method includes a material, which had tasks to recollect words. The test had 12 sub-tests under it, with each sub-test pertaining to a specific category. The client was provided with intervention with this material for a period of 4 weeks and the word retrieval ability was checked. Significant improvement was obtained following the intervention with vocabulary bombardment.

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.
