Abstract:

 


This study
investigates the lexical-semantic and phonological processing deficits in
Wernicke’s aphasia by comparing with healthy controls aiming to shed light on
the causes of impairment. Identifying and Picture-Naming, Lexical-Semantic
Association and Rhyme Recognition Tests were used to assess the processing. The
results showed that Wernicke’s aphasics have the inability to retrieve a name
associated with a picture but they were able to match the semantic prime with
the associated target image similar to the control group. The results revealed
that Wernicke’s aphasics are capable of dealing with lexical-semantic
processing and semantic judgment. Rhyme Recognition Test results revealed that
Wernicke aphasics have partially preserved comprehension of printed language.
The results of this study also showed that Wernicke’s aphasics performed
significantly lower accuracy than controls on the phonological test and
performed comparably on the semantic test. It is concluded that their deficits
are likely to be related to access to the phonological representations of
words.
