Abstract

Aim: Proverb comprehension was tested in 22 patients with primary progressive aphasia utilizing idiom explanation task. The aim of this study was to determine proverb comprehension in PPA patients using the Proverb Scale. Material and Methods: To assess the participants, Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale, the Pyramid and Palm Trees test and the Proverb Scale were used. Results: As a result of statistical analysis, there was a significantly difference between svPPA and lvPPA regarding idiom comprehension scores, the Pyramid and Palm Trees Test Scores and MoCA scores. Conclusion: It is an important study to understand how the abstraction in PPA works regarding the language. In PPA subtypes, semantic memory, proverb and MoCA scores were significantly different between logopenic and semantic variants. Although MoCA and proverb comprehension were correlated in svPPA, no correlation was found in lvPPA. With similar studies in the field, it would be possible to better explain the effects of PPA, a disorder characterized by language disorders.

Özet

Amaç: Atasözü açıklama görevi kullanılarak primer progresif afazili 22 vakada atasözlerini anlama ve kavrama becerileri değerlendirildi. Bu çalışmanın amacı, soyutlama, anlama ve kavrama ile ilgili ölçek ve testler kullanarak PPA hastalarında atasözü anlama düzeylerini belirlemektir. Materyal ve Yöntem: Katılımcıları değerlendirmek için Montreal Bilişsel Değerlendirme Ölçeği, Piramit ve Palmiye Ağaçları testi ve Atasözü Ölçeği kullanıldı. Bulgular: İstatistiksel analiz sonucunda atasözü anlama puanları, Piramit ve Palmiye Ağaçları Test Puanları ve MoCA puanları açısından svPPA ve lvPPA arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur. Sonuç: PPA'daki soyutlamanın dil açısından nasıl çalıştığını anlamak için önemli bir çalışmadır. PPA alt tiplerinde semantik bellek, atasözlerini anlama ve MoCA skorları anlamlı olarak logopenik ve semantik varyantlar arasında değişiklik göstermektedir. svPPA'da MoCA ve atasözü anlama arasında bir korelasyon olmasına rağmen lvPPA'da herhangi bir korelasyon bulunamamıştır. Bu gibi çalışmalar sayesinde dildeki bozulmalar ile karakterize bir bozukluk olan PPA’nın etkilerini daha iyi açıklamak mümkün olabilecektir.
