Assessment Battery for Communication: Development of two equivalent forms
2012, Journal of Communication DisordersCitation Excerpt :The theoretical basis of the ABaCo is Cognitive Pragmatics (Bara, 2010), a theory on the cognitive processes underlying human communication. Cognitive Pragmatics has been used to explain the development of communication in typically developing children (Bosco & Bucciarelli, 2008; Bosco, Bucciarelli, & Bara, 2004; Bosco, Bucciarelli, & Bara, 2006; Bosco, Vallana & Bucciarelli, 2009, 2012), as well as communicative deficits in patients with different patterns of brain impairment (Bara, Tirassa, & Zettin, 1997; Bara, Bosco, & Bucciarelli, 1999; Bara, Cutica, & Tirassa, 2001; Bosco, Bara & Bono 2012). The ABaCo (Sacco et al., 2008) includes a total of 180 items: 72 in vivo items and 108 items based on videotaped scenes.
Operative and nonoperative linguistic outcomes in brain injury patients
2012, Journal of the Neurological SciencesCitation Excerpt :In this population, comprehension and production of linguistic macrostructures are disturbed [4,5]. The available reports about impairment in pragmatic level of language after head trauma are more related to extralinguistic and paralinguistic facets [6–9]. Post-trauma linguistic disorder is accompanied by deficit in some cognitive skills including problem solving, working memory, and executive functions [10–16].
Do executive function and theory of mind predict pragmatic abilities following traumatic brain injury? An analysis of sincere, deceitful and ironic communicative acts
2018, Journal of Communication DisordersCitation Excerpt :On both the comprehension and production subscales of the linguistic and extralinguistic scales of the ABaCo (Angeleri et al., 2012), individuals with TBI performed worse than controls for all the investigated phenomena, namely, sincere, deceitful and ironic communicative acts. This result is in line with previous investigations (Angeleri et al., 2008; Bara et al., 2001). Results also showed an interaction effect between the group (individuals with TBI vs controls) and type of pragmatic phenomenon (standard communicative acts, deceit and irony) in linguistic and extralinguistic production tasks, showing that the individuals with TBI were more impaired in comprehension and production of the most demanding communicative phenomena, namely, deceit and irony, while they performed similarly to the controls in comprehension and production of sincere communicative acts.
