Agrammatic and non-brain-damaged subjects' verb and verb argument structure production

Training verb argument structure production in agrammatic aphasia: behavioral and neural recovery patterns.

INTRODUCTION Neuroimaging and lesion studies indicate a left hemisphere network for verb and verb argument structure processing, involving both frontal and temporoparietal brain regions. Although their verb comprehension is generally unimpaired, it is well known that individuals with agrammatic aphasia often present with verb production deficits, characterized by an argument structure complexit...

representation of these structures (see Tomasello (2000) and references therein, and Sections 13.3.1 and 13.3.2). In theweird word order paradigm, children hear an experimenter describing events using a weird word order (e.g. Ernie Bert pushing or pushing Ernie Bert to describe Ernie pushing Bert) and are then asked to describe similar events in their own words. When the verb is frequent (e.g. ...

Verb retrieval in brain-damaged subjects: 2. Analysis of errors.

Verb retrieval for action naming was assessed in 53 brain-damaged subjects by administering a standardized test with 100 items. In a companion paper (Kemmerer & Tranel, 2000), it was shown that impaired and unimpaired subjects did not differ as groups in their sensitivity to a variety of stimulus, lexical, and conceptual factors relevant to the test. For this reason, the main goal of the presen...
