“…Her love of the CDT was "based not so much on how well patients performed but on the variety of errors made by patients" (Ashendorf et al, 2013). This is reminiscent of Head's sentiment that clock drawing was a remarkable way to expose patients' disabilities (Head, 1926). Kaplan's work brought clock drawing into the contemporary sphere of cognitive screening starting in the 1980s.…”

“…In 1926 (Head, 1926), Sir Henry Head (1861-1940, a British neurologist, one of the pioneers of early 20th century neurology, authored Aphasia and Kindred Disorders of Speech, a work that has been called the magnum opus (Ashendorf et al, 2013) of his decorated career. He reviewed what was known about aphasia and speech disorders and included many of his own analyses and clinical cases.…”

“…He noted many different issues seen in patients including stating the correct time but writing down an incorrect time, slow completion, and overly focused attention when having to encode the time into a written form. Head recognized the value in the clock tests, at one point even referring to them as "a splendid method of revealing [a patient's] disabilities" (Head, 1926). The earliest documented clinical case by Head that included the clock tests appears to be from 1915 highlighting the more than century-long history of the CDT.…”

Objective: The clock drawing test (CDT) has become one of the most widely used cognitive screening instruments in clinical and research settings. Its effectiveness, acceptability, and quick and easy administration have made it a staple for cognitive screening in dementia and a wide range of brain disorders. Despite a spike in popularity since the 1990s, its origins are relatively unknown. The goal of this review is to chronicle its saga and chart its usage over time. Methods: PsycInfo, Medline, and PubMed literature searches were performed from earliest record to June 2016, in addition to manual cross-referencing of bibliographies, with a focus before 1990. Summary of relevant articles and books up until 1989 is included, as well as clinical applications and surveys that track CDT usage over time. Results: While MacDonald Critchley's well-known textbook from 1953, The Parietal Lobes, is often cited as the first mention of the CDT, its recorded use actually stretches back more than a century to 1915. A review of the literature shows that the CDT began as a test for aphasia-related disorders and constructional apraxia until its entry into contemporary cognitive screening in the 1980s when it primarily became a cognitive screen. Its usage took off in 1989 with over 2000 publications since. Conclusions: Despite a fairly obscure existence for decades, the CDT has emerged as an effective and ideal cognitive screening instrument for a wide range of conditions. Its use continues to increase, and it has been incorporated into several widely used cognitive screening batteries.

“…Oh et al (2002) characterize formal thought disorder as bexpressive semantic abnormality which, however, spares naming.Q As they note, the idea of such an abnormality goes back to Head (1926), though he does not report an entirely clear case of it. Head used the term semantic aphasia for disorders in which naming was spared but structural semantics was severely impaired.…”

Patients with schizophrenia often display unusual language impairments. This is a wide ranging critical review of the literature on language in schizophrenia since the 19th century. We survey schizophrenic language level by level, from phonetics through phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.There are at least two kinds of impairment (perhaps not fully distinct): thought disorder, or failure to maintain a discourse plan, and schizophasia, comprising various dysphasia-like impairments such as clanging, neologism, and unintelligible utterances.Thought disorder appears to be primarily a disruption of executive function and pragmatics, perhaps with impairment of the syntax-semantics interface; schizophasia involves disruption at other levels. Phonetics is also often abnormal (manifesting as flat intonation or unusual voice quality), but phonological structure, morphology, and syntax are normal or nearly so (some syntactic impairments have been demonstrated). Access to the lexicon is clearly impaired, manifesting as stilted speech, word approximation, and neologism. Clanging (glossomania) is straightforwardly explainable as distraction by self-monitoring.Recent research has begun to relate schizophrenia, which is partly genetic, to the genetic endowment that makes human language possible.

The ‘idioglossia’ cases of the 1890s and the clinical investigation and treatment of developmental language impairment

The early history of developmental language impairment in late 19 th century Britain is considered through the critical examination of three papers appearing in 1891 by Hadden, Golding-Bird and Hale White, and Taylor. They represent innovative investigations of child language disorders whose themes and concerns are resonant today. The term 'idioglossia' was coined to identify this new impairment and reflected the belief by some that these children spoke an invented language. Rather than viewing these children as having some constitutional deficiency, these 19 th century physicians were novel in insisting that children with language impairments merited extensive clinical investigation and treatment. Their case descriptions and the subsequent debates regarding classification and prognosis are reviewed. Further consideration is given to how these cases led to questioning the relation between language and speech and other aspects of child development and disorder. Reflection on the early sources of clinical categories provides a new perspective on our current formulations for variation in developmental language trajectories.
