Abstract

Articulatory errors made by a group of aphasic subjects in the repetition of words and nonsense syllables were analyzed with reference to a five part process model of repetition. Results indicated that the number of cognitive units within stimuli were a major factor in the number, type, and position of error, and that a segmentation process, both grammatically and phonetically dependent, was operating in the responses. Overall, the results were interpreted to support a “reduction of efficiency” view of aphasia.
