Effect of Stimulus Context and Response Coding Variables on Word Retrieval Performances in Dysphasia.

Dunn, Nancy D.; And Others

Journal of Communication Disorders, v22 n3 p209-23 Jun 1989

Nonfluent and fluent dysphasic subjects (N=22) and nondysphasic subjects (N=20) were assessed on tasks of word fluency and picture-naming. Results showed that clinical language examinations should utilize contexts other than naming tasks for detecting the presence of word retrieval problems and for differentiating the two polar types of dysphasia.
