A shift of the error pattern in phonemic paraphasias with conduction aphasia

Abstract

    This study investigated a shift of the error pattern in phonemic paraphasias in course of time. Repetition tasks were performed by a patient with conduction aphasia periodically. The results showed the error pattern change in moraic error position in a word, the error ratio of consonant to vowel and the error ratio of similar phonemes to similar ones. The results suggested that the error pattern of phonemic paraphasia was transitional in course of time. However, almost error patterns observed did not match to those reported in other papers. The definite regularities of the transitional error pattern were not found.
