Jargon, slang and use of acronyms – these forms of language only make sense to people with specialist knowledge. A person who doesn’t have this specialist knowledge won’t understand the message. Dialect – people who speak English using a regional dialect (for example Glaswegian or Liverpudlian) pronounce words in different ways. Distress, emotional difficulties and health problems – some conditions,
These methods of communication can be useful for building vocabularies of individuals with limited speech. Other individuals may have a vast vocabulary, but due to rigid sets of interests may only use repetitive speech which means their communication can be out of context, making conversations difficult. 2. - Problems that individuals with an autistic spectrum condition may have in social interaction and relationships Due to the social difficulties linked with autism, individuals often find social interaction and the building of relationships very difficult. Individuals with autism often have difficulties reading non-verbal forms of communication, such as body language, and find it hard to relate to other people’s feelings and emotions, which can effect their responses to a social situation as they will appear out of context or inappropriate.
It can range from a bump to the head to a medical disease that attacks the brains ability to function correctly, such as vascular dementia that alters blood flow to the brain. 2.2: This is personal centred, focusing on the rights of the individual, in turn empowering the individual, promoting independence, giving choice and looking at what the individual is able to do. 2.3: Individuals who have dementia are not aware of requirements for living. They can forget to do the
Damage to the amygdala or hippocampus causes loss of emotions and memory respectively. By removing part of H.M.’s temporal lobe which meant some parts of the amygdala and hippocampus, he suffered severe amnesia. He could remember things that happened a longtime ago and even his name meaning that his long-term childhood memory was intact but short-term memory was severely affected. By learning new motor skills but not conscious of them, it showed that the brain has different parts that controlled memory. According to me, H.M.’s inability to recall the words was a problem of consolidation as well as a long term memory problem.
However, they all have difficulties with using language, being unable to talk and express their selves effectively and often having problems in processing and understanding the language and communication of others. Those suffering from an A.S.D
Many people, who are in some form visually impaired, lose the ability of seeing facial expressions, and gestures, which are important in spoken communication. 93% of communication is through body language, gestures and expressions and the other 7% is through spoken. Many of the visually impaired find it difficult to distinguish if someone is addressing them or someone else, or if the person speaking has wandered off, which of course is a negative impact on that person. Written communication is also difficult for a person with sight loss. This can be due to too small text, colour of the text, Shiny paper, centring and underlining of text.
Dementia suffers even become unable to recognise familiar people, and even themselves in a mirror as they are unable to grasps that both their loved ones and themselves have aged, also they forget times, dates and years and can even forget they have eaten. 1.3 Individuals with dementia, especially in the more advanced stages struggle to understand, process and retain information and instructions, so need to be given clear concise information where keywords and short prompts are used, and trying to avoid overloading them with too much information in order to avoid further confusion. Also the individuals who maybe are able to process and retain
This mainly occurs because people do not pay close enough attention to the details around them. Loftus article illustrates information about different types of memory incidences that can typically lead to falsification. For example, scrambled memories occur when people mistake details when they are retrieving a certain story. This becomes a problem because people will make add or remove information that
Speech and swallowing being fine motor skills, gets affected in these cases. Oromotor functions are compromised due to myotonia (delay in relaxation of the muscles). This affects the basic functions like mastication, blowing, sucking and swallowing. As speech production is a
This neural highway is known to be involved in linking music and language perception for vocal projection. Evidence for the role of AF in language use is represented by conduction aphasia, caused by damage to the inferior parietal lobule that extends into the subcortical white matter and damages the AF. Although AF is known to be involved in language, its roles in non-linguistic functions have not been explored. Research have also shown that AF is also link to tone deafness. According to a study in the August 19 issue of the Journal of Neuroscience, nerve fibres that connect perception and motor regions of the brain are disconnected in people with tone deafness.
