Sentence comprehension in broca's aphasia: A critique of the evidence
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 23 (1):24-24 (2000)
| Abstract | The argument that Broca's area is preferentially involved in specific syntactic operations is based on a strong assertion regarding patterns of sentence comprehension found among patients with Broca's aphasia. This assertion is shown to be largely inconsistent with the available evidence from published studies, which indicates that only a subgroup of Broca patients demonstrate the target pattern. | |||||||||
