Attempts to answer several questions posed by researchers in agraphia. The questions concern analysis of errors in sensory aphasia; a typology of sensory agraphia; a possible relationship between sensory agraphia and sensory aphasia; and questions of a neurolinguistic order and those of a purely linguistic order.

A report on a study of a large number of subjects afflicted with sensory aphasia. Topics covered are: the distributional pattern of grammatical categories; paraphasia; a statistical analysis of associated syndromes; possible relationship to the location of the lesion. Some examples of spontaneous language are included. (Text is in French.) (AMH)

This article reviews the various neurolinguistic explanations and models put forth for alexia. (Text is in French.) (CLK)

This article presents an overview of neuropsychological and neurolinguistic research done in the field of alexia between 1838 and 1969. (Text is in French.) (CLK)

This article reviews studies done on alexia and describes experiments designed to distinguish qualitatively between pure alexia (marked by the absence of oral and written problems) and other forms of alexia. (Text is in French.) (CLK)

By presenting preliminary results of joint experiments conducted by speech pathologists and linguists, this article discusses the possibility of further neuropsycholinguistic research. (Text is in French.) (CLK)

This book examines how the brain enables people to speak creatively and build up an understanding of language. The discussion looks at the linguistic and neuro-anatomical underpinnings of language and considers how language skills can systematically break down in individuals with different types of brain damage. By studying children with language…

Acknowledging the importance of sight to the writing process, the paper elucidates the processes of vision related to the composing process. In the opening section the physics of light and vision, optic neuroanatomy, and cortical responses to visual stimuli are explained. Next, theories of vision and data mapping are examined and their…

Three objectives of research reported here were to describe the neural organization underlying language usage and language loss, to study activities occurring in both cerebral hemispheres, and to study neural changes related to changes in syntactic complexity of stimuli. A dichoptic procedure was chosen. A subject faced a viewing screen on which…
