چکیده
OBJECTIVE To compare performance on EC301 battery calculation task between aphasic subjects and normal controls of the same sex, age, and education. METHOD Thirty-two aphasic patients who had suffered a single left hemisphere stroke were evaluated. Forty-four healthy volunteers were also selected. All subjects underwent a comprehensive arithmetic battery to assess their numerical and calculation skills. Performances on numerical processing and calculation tasks were then analyzed. RESULTS Aphasic individuals showed changes in their ability to perform numerical processing and calculation tasks that were not observed in the healthy population. CONCLUSION Compared with healthy subjects of the same age and education level, individuals with aphasia had difficulty performing various tasks that involved numerical processing and calculation.

متن کاملSelf-Organising Networks for Classification Learning from Normal and Aphasic Speech
An understanding of language processing in humans is critical if realistic computerised systems are to be produced to perform various language operations. The examination of aphasia in individuals has provided a large amount of information on the organisation of language processing, with particular reference to the regions in the brain where processing occurs and the ability to regain language ...
متن کاملTwo mental calculation systems: a case study of severe acalculia with preserved approximation.
We report the case of an aphasic and acalculic patient with selective preservation of approximation abilities. The patient's deficit was so severe that he judged 2 + 2 = 5 to be correct, illustrating a radical impairment in exact calculation. However, he easily rejected grossly false additions such as 2 + 2 = 9, therefore demonstrating a preserved knowledge of the approximate result. The dissoc...
