JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe present study was designed to analyze the syntactic errors and investigate the levels of impairments in sentence production processes of aphasics. The subjects were sixteen Broca's aphasics, sixteen Wernicke's aphasics and sixteen normal controls. Subjects were asked to produce sentences for the pictures. Content words were presented by letters. The all subjects could read it's letters. The results showed the following. 1) The both aphasic groups made significantly more omissions and misuses of particles, noun phrases and predicates than normal controls did. 2) The same syntactic factors affected the expression of particles and the constructing sentences by standard word order in both aphasic groups. The order of difficulty in the expression of particles and the constructing sentences by standard word order was paralleld in the both aphasic groups. 3) Particles, noun phrases and predicates were significantly more frequently omitted by Broca's aphasics than by Wernicke's aphasics. The errors of particles and the sentences being not constructed by standard word order were significantly more in Broca's aphasics than in Wernicke's aphasics.These results suggested that syntactic processing in sentence production processes was disrupted in Broca's and Wernicke's aphasics. The disruption in the whole processes of sentence production was greater in Broca's aphasics than in Wernicke's aphasics. It's disruption in Broca's aphasics was in part due to the deficits of non syntactic factors.View full abstractDownload PDF (1045K) -
Kunio Kishaba1984 Volume 25 Issue 4 Pages 278-284

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSCorrelations between play and language in 40 mentally retarded children were studied.
The results were as follows:
1. Manipulatory play (object banged, thrown or waved), mouthing (object brought to the mouth), functional play (appropriate use of object on child's own body), representational play (1) (appropriate use of object on doll) and sequential play (sequence of play behavior inside common framework) developed hierarchically along with language development. Moreover, as symbolic function appeared in the play, the function of words spread.
2. Investigating play and language from the point of view of decenteration, there were correlations between functional play, representational play (1), representational play (2) (the doll, manipulated by the child, uses the object in an appropriate way) and the function of words.
3. There were correlations between sequential play and two-or three-word combinations.View full abstractDownload PDF (955K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSixty-five patients were treated with pharyngeal flap operation of Hirano method during the 13 and half years from November, 1969 to April, 1983. In 40 patients of these 65, we evaluated velopharyngeal function by means of 6 methods which employed soft blowing or speech sound production. The results are as followes:
1. The velopharyngeal function was good in 22 (55%), fair in 8 (20%) and poor in 10 patients (25%) .
2. Most of those patients who underwent flap operation in young ages (younger than 10 years) presented with a good velopharyngeal function whereas those who had flap surgery in older ages often showed an incompetent velopharyngeal closure.
3. The velopharyngeal function did not depend on the type of cleft and the contrast between primary or secondary flap operation.
4. There were significantly positive relationships among the results of the 6 tests.
5. The velopharyngeal function evaluated in the present study appeared to reflect not only the anatomical potential function but also the behavioral skill in blowing or in speech sound production.View full abstractDownload PDF (1202K) -
—particularly differences depending on the clinical type of aphasia and the age of patients—Yoko Fukusako, Hisako Monoi1984 Volume 25 Issue 4 Pages 295-307

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA retrospective investigation was made into the recovery course of the language impairment of 275 post-stroke aphasic patients who received at least 2 month's language therapy at the Speech Clinic of the Tokyo Metropolitan Geriatric Hospital between 1972 and 1983. The type of aphasia as well as the recovery rate were determined using the Test for Differential Diagnosis of Aphasia (The Roken Test) . The results were as follows :
(1) The recovery rate and level of the final outcome were different depending on the clinical type of aphasia.
(2) A close relationship between the age and the recovery pattern of patients was found in some aphasic types but not in other types.
(3) Notable improvement in aphasic symptoms occurred in many cases during the first 18 months post-onset. The period when the greatest changes occurred was dependent upon the clinical type of aphasia and the age of patients. Concerning such a period, individual differences were also notable.
(4) None of the patients whose language therapy had been discontinued for a time improved during the period of discontinuance.
(5) The language deficit in all of the aphasic patients who had had secondary cerebrovascular accidents or had undergone a brain operation became worse.View full abstractDownload PDF (1680K) -
—particularly cases in which a plateau of improvement was reached—Yoko Fukusako, Hisako Monoi1984 Volume 25 Issue 4 Pages 308-320

Released on J-STAGE: June 22, 2010
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA retrospective investigation was made into the recovery course of the language impairement of 111 poststroke aphasic patients who all reached a plateau of improvement through language therapy at the Speech Clinic of the Tokyo Metropolitan Geriatric Hospital between 1972 and 1983. The type of aphasia as well as the recovery rate were determined using the Test for Diffential Diagnosis of Aphasia (The Roken Test) . The results were as follows:
(1) The period when a plateau of improvement was reached after language therapy began, level of the final outcome, and the correlation between the initial severity of the language deficit and the final outcome, were different depending on the clinical type of aphasia.
(2) In general, the degree of improvement was much smaller in the aged aphasic patients than in the adult ones.
(3) A close relationship between the age and the recovery pattern of patients was found in some aphasic types but not in other types.
(4) The degree of improvement was the greatest in cases where language therapy had begun early in the post-onset period. On the other hand, neither the period when a plateau of improvement was attained nor the final outcome were related to the time when language therapy began.
(5) No relationship between sex and recovery pattern was found.View full abstractDownload PDF (1838K)
