This all means that aphasic patients might benefit from learning how to speech read (lip reading).

The importance of word-initial phonology in prolonged naming efforts by aphasic patients.

One such study suggests that many aphasic patients retain their abilities to process syntactic structures on-line.

Recovery of languages varies across aphasic patients.

He arrived at this discovery by studying the brains of aphasic patients (persons with speech and language disorders resulting from brain injuries).

The paradigm has been used in the study of syntactic processing in the study of aphasic patients.

Receptive Aphasic patients mostly suffer from lexical-semantic difficulties, but also have difficulties in comprehension tasks.

Then after they completed the first part of the experiment, the experimenters taught the aphasic patients to speech read, which is the ability to read lips.

For example, in the following passage, a Broca's aphasic patient is trying to explain how he came to the hospital for dental surgery:

Expressive aphasic patients suffer from more regular rule governed principles in forming sentences, which is closely related to Alzheimer patients.

A typical Broca's aphasic patient will misinterpret "the dog is bitten by the man" by switching the subject and object.

Agrammatic aphasic patients (see Agrammatism) were tested with the AGL paradigm.

Aphasic patients with dyspraxia are unable to set up the speech motor codes necessary for articulation, caused by a deficiency of the articulatory rehearsal process.

Melodic intonation therapy (MIT) has been pursued for some years with aphasic patients under the belief that it helps stimulate the ability to speak normally.

Many researchers have advanced the idea that the regressive use of BPO pantomimes reflects the presence of a central symbolic deficit in aphasic patients.

"Performance of Bilingual Cuban-American Aphasic patients on a task of Body Part Identification".

Aphasic patients exhibit impairment in gestural expression and comprehension, with the degree of impairment being commensurate with the degree of severity in aphasia.

The critical role of rhythmic pacing and formulaic language in MIT was confirmed in a subsequent therapy study with 15 non-fluent aphasic patients (Stahl et al., 2013).

Since aphasic patients often preserve their ability to use familiar phrases (i.e. idioms and proverbs), researchers hypothesized that they may be stored and processed in different brain regions than novel phrases.

The motor mechanisms of the left hemisphere as they relate to speech are further indicated by studies of non-verbal oral-facial movements (such as protrusion of the tongue or lips) in aphasic patients.

Similarly, Paul Broca's 1861 post mortem study of an aphasic patient, known as "Tan" after the only word which he could speak, showed that an area of the left frontal lobe was damaged.

Research in her lab also showed that adult aphasic patients' deficits were not specific to linguistic structures theorized to be localized to specific brain areas, nor were they restricted to the linguistic domain.

Today the brains of many of Broca's aphasic patients are still preserved in the Musée Dupuytren, and his collection of casts in the Musée d'Anatomie Delmas-Orfila-Rouvière.

Among many other notable items, the museum contains brains of aphasic patients, preserved in alcohol by the celebrated anatomist Paul Pierre Broca, and used in his research in the localization of brain functions.

Additionally, clinicians must be careful to exclude aphasia as a possible diagnosis, as, in the tests involving verbal command, an aphasic patient could fail to perform a task properly because they do not understand what the directions are.
