Abstract
Inhibition and language processing deficits in different types of aphasia
Highlights
It has been shown that language comprehension difficulties are associated with impaired inhibition (Martin & Allen, 2008)
(fluent: r(13) = .14, p = .61; nonfluent: r(15) = -.42, p = .11)
The fluent group did not differ from the control in the Flanker interference, whereas the nonfluent group was significantly slower in resolving interference, t(51) = 2.05, p =
Summary
It has been shown that language comprehension difficulties are associated with impaired inhibition (Martin & Allen, 2008). The current study had three main objectives: (1) to measure inhibition deficit in adults with fluent and nonfluent aphasia as well as in the healthy controls; (2) to investigate the relationship between inhibition and language comprehension in different types of aphasia; (3) to address individual differences through the comparison of results from the group and single subject analyses. MATERIALS AND PROCEDURES: All of the participants from the clinical groups were assessed with the Quantitative Assessment of Speech in Aphasia (Tsvetkova et al, 1981) including ten subtests measuring various aspects of language production and comprehension in Russian.
