Abstract:
Ten aphasic females, all of whom ordinarily prepared their own meals, were examined in food preparation tasks to determine the relationship, if any, between communication disabilities and residual meal preparation skills. A rating scale, the Functional Meal Preparation Scale (FMPS), was developed and used in this study. Ratings obtained on the FMPS were compared with overall communication skills, specific language tasks, and Stick Construction and Three Dimensional Block Performance as indicators of some visual perceptual skills. None of the comparisons reached statistical significance. Clinical observation corroborated the lack of correspondence between homemaker skills and neurolinguistic residuals. This is an area where it appears that linguistic and certain visual perceptual processing deficits do not necessarily affect performance. Implications for modifying the rehabilitation management of aphasic home-makers are suggested.
