Some Analyses of Aphasie Language

  • Chapter
Handbook of Cognitive Neuroscience

Abstract

The history of aphasia research can be regarded in important measure as aseries of attempts to draw distinctions among various types of failures to speak or understand because of pathological neural conditions. The central empirical observations to emerge from this research are that left-hemisphere lesions, but not right-hemisphere lesions, disrupt language, and that within the left hemisphere, lesions in different locations undermine language differently. These broad clinical observations are not in serious dispute; what to make of them is.
