| Abstract: | An extensive naming battery was administered to ten patients representing classical aphasia syndromes. The battery included traditional performance measures and error scoring, phonological cuing, multiple-choice tasks tapping semantic and phonological knowledge, and word repetition tests. Differences in the patients' performance profiles were interpreted as reflecting lexical-phonological, phoneme assembly or multiple deficits. The results suggest that the hypothesized naming deficits have complex relationships to classical aphasia syndromes. |
