Aphasia and apraxia in dementia: cognitive regression or focal symptoms?

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 September 2015

Summary

A review is given of the neuropsychological conceptualizations of aphasia and apraxia in SDAT. In the beginning of this century localisationism was prevailing. Later, developmental and cognitive psychology gave an important impetus to reconsider these symptoms in an holistic framework. More recently, since the application of new brain imaging techniques, there is a revival of localizing conceptualizations.
