The effect of physical similarity on pantomime recognition in aphasia

Integration of speech and gesture in aphasia

“…Previous research has found that some individuals with aphasia have difficulties comprehending iconic gesture in isolation (e.g., Lambier and Bradley ). However, as only one modality is processed in these tasks, such findings do not explore whether difficulties with attention extend to comprehending messages conveyed by both gesture and speech.…”

Gesture and speech integration: an exploratory study of a man with aphasia

“…The findings of these studies have indicated that impaired comprehension of pantomime is unrelated to severity of aphasia (Daniloff et al 1982). It has, however, been found to be more frequent in participants with posterior lesions than participants with anterior lesions (Varney 1982, Daniloff et al 1986, Lambier and Bradley 1991). However, pantomime is produced in the absence of speech and thus comprehension of pantomime requires only the comprehension of one modality and does not require integration.…”

Testing causal theories of pantomimic deficits in aphasia using path analysis

“…Heilman e t a/. (1982) and Wang (1990) have used visuomotor imitation tasks; and Lambier and Bradley (1991) examined the relationship between visual feature extraction and pantomime recognition in aphasia. From a neuroanatomical perspective, lesions associated with deficits in pantomime recognition have been reported in both cortical and subcortical structures of the left hemisphere, and in both frontal and posterior cortical areas (Ferro e t a/.…”
