ABSTRACT
The effects of the alteration of the memory in the production of the speech are explored in a subject with acoustic amnesic aphasia. Rehabilitation was scheduled following the methodology of Russian school, emphasizing work in two features: working memory and long-term memory; due their impact in speech procedural and conversational and narrative role in pragmatic productivity, coherence and cohesion were studied too. Moreover, speech implies or request resources of working memory and at the same time leans on information of the long-term memory. Subject presents low capacities in working memory show alterations in coherence and cohesion of the speech in most of types of the speech, since it is difficult to maintain and to relate previous information with new information. Subject showed deficits in long term memory and presents difficulties in both: the narrative of speech and in conversation because requires storage information in long term memory. Finally in the rehabilitation, it was observed that while the alteration is implied in certain aspects of the production of the speech, many atypical behaviours seem explicable for memory limitations.REFERENCES
