0 a medical condition that makes a person unable to speak, write, or understand speech or writing because of damage to the brain --
In our view the extant evidence for an effect of script on the written language processing of patients with bilingual aphasia is relatively weak.
Severe aphasia may make formal assessment of mood and cognitive impairment impossible.
It is common in cognitive neuropsychological studies of lexical processing in aphasia to report task effects for individual cases separately.
Patients were randomly assigned to a study group receiving experimental training for limb apraxia or a control group receiving conventional treatment for aphasia.
However, the inclusion of additional, previously identified variables and results of other lines of research would improve the knowledge about this category of aphasia.
These ' 'lesion' ' studies, carried out to investigate the clinical features of bilingual aphasia, have provided a complex pattern of results.
How is each language lost, in terms of aphasia after brain damage in bilinguals, or in terms of the natural attrition of a disused language?
Information regarding the time course of language comprehension in aphasia is obviously crucial to our understanding of the underlying pathology.
