Social (pragmatic) communication disorder
Social (pragmatic) communication disorder (SPCD), also known as pragmatic language impairment (PLI), is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by significant difficulties in the social use of verbal and nonverbal communication. Individuals with SPCD struggle to effectively engage in social interactions, interpret social cues, and use language appropriately in social contexts. This disorder can have a profound impact on an individual's ability to establish and maintain relationships, navigate social situations, and participate in academic and professional settings.
Dysphonie spasmodique
La dysphonie spasmodique est une affection neurologique du larynx, classée dans les dystonies. La dysphonie spasmodique en adduction (serrage des cordes vocales), est de loin la plus fréquente. La dysphonie spasmodique en abduction est très rare, elle est caractérisée par un écartement des cordes et une voix soufflée. La dysphonie spasmodique en adduction se manifeste par un timbre serré, essentiellement lors de la parole, moins lors du chant.
Motor theory of speech perception
The motor theory of speech perception is the hypothesis that people perceive spoken words by identifying the vocal tract gestures with which they are pronounced rather than by identifying the sound patterns that speech generates. It originally claimed that speech perception is done through a specialized module that is innate and human-specific. Though the idea of a module has been qualified in more recent versions of the theory, the idea remains that the role of the speech motor system is not only to produce speech articulations but also to detect them.
Trouble de l'intégration sensorielle
Le trouble du traitement sensoriel (ou SPD, pour Sensory processing disorder, aussi anciennement dénommé "dysfonctionnement de l'intégration sensorielle") désigne un trouble correspondant à une difficulté ou à une incapacité du système nerveux central à traiter adéquatement les flux d'informations sensorielles arrivant dans le cerveau, lequel ne peut alors fournir de réponses appropriées aux exigences de l'environnement.
Origin of speech
The origin of speech is a topic that has faced consistent problems in explaining how human language evolved. The topic differs from the origin of language because language is not necessarily spoken; it could equally be written or signed. Language is a fundamental aspect of human communication and plays a vital role in our everyday lives. It allows us to convey thoughts, emotions, and ideas, enabling us to connect with others and shape our collective reality.
Developmental language disorder
Developmental language disorder (DLD) is identified when a child has problems with language development that continue into school age and beyond. The language problems have a significant impact on everyday social interactions or educational progress, and occur in the absence of autism spectrum disorder, intellectual disability or a known biomedical condition. The most obvious problems are difficulties in using words and sentences to express meanings, but for many children, understanding of language (receptive language) is also a challenge.
