Echophenomena in Aphasia: Causal Mechanisms and Clues for Intervention. Berthier-Torres, Marcelo Luis Dávila-Arias, María Guadalupe Torres-Prioris, María José Lenguaje - Trastornos https://www.jblearning.com/permissions The word “echo” has different meanings depending upon the context. Its simplest definition is “a sound that is repeating after the original sound ended” (www.yourdictionary.com), yet the meaning that seems most popular makes reference to the repetition of a sound, typically heard in big, empty spaces (mountains, caves). In living creatures, such as bats, the term “echo” (or echolocator) refers to self-generated sounds that permit them to orient through labyrinthic environments in complete darkness (Wenstrup & Portfors, 2011). The noun “echolocator” is also used to designate some blind persons who make clicking noises with their mouths and use the reflected echoes to estimate the size and distance of perceived objects and surfaces (Milne, Anello, Gooddale, & Thaler, 2015). Also in humans, the definition of echo is “one who closely imitates or repeats another's words, ideas, or acts” (Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage, 1994). 2025-01-24T10:51:26Z 2025-01-24T10:51:26Z 2018 book part Berthier, M.
