Abstract

SUMMARYStudies of adult aphasia have shown a dimension of language deficit that is not modality specific. This reduction of language may or may not be complicated by further disruptions of auditory, visual, spatial, or sensorimotor processes, or by dysarthrja. Exploration of disturbances observed in these areas has added considerably to our understanding of aphasia in adults. It has also been useful to consider adult aphasia in terms of overall patterns of deficit produced by involvement of one or more of the functional cerebral systems listed above. This framework could be used to provide a systematic approach to investigation and documentation of language disabilities in children.
