Abstract
This study used a group of 10 people with aphasia, 5 with anterior aphasias and 5 with posterior aphasias, and a group of 10 non-brain-damaged controls to investigate four questions: Can people with aphasia learn iconic encoding? Does the ability to learn iconic encoding vary with different types of aphasia? Does the level of abstraction of the messages affect the ability to learn iconic encoding? Does the length of an icon sequence affect the ability to learn iconic encoding? Results indicated that people with aphasia can learn iconic encoding under specific conditions. Type of aphasia, level of abstraction, and length of icon sequence influenced learning. Clinical implications and directions for future research are discussed.
