The Functional Origin of Oral Word Production Deficits in the Logopenic Variant of Primary Progressive Aphasia: A Systematic Review by Amra Hasanovic, Joël Macoir, Amélie Sanfaçon-Verret, Laura Monetta

“…Interestingly, the possibility of a third functional origin, affecting the semantic processing level, was also suggested by some studies. Conclusions: We concluded that the presence of different functional origins of OWP in this population may be explained, at least partially, by the diversity of assessment tasks used in studies and the varied manipulation and control of psycholinguistic properties of words (e.g., frequency, length), as well as the various interpretations and analyses of the participants’ errors. …”
