以往的研究表明，胼胝体发育不全（AgCC）的个体在解决新颖和复杂的问题方面存在困难。本研究考察了AgCC的语言问题解决、演绎推理和语义推理。对25名AgCC和正常智力的个体进行了语义推理能力测试，与29名神经正常的对照组进行了比较。使用Delis-Kaplan执行功能系统的单词上下文测试（WCT），采用一种新颖的分析方法（语义相似度）来检测解决方案的逐次进展。相对于典型的WCT得分，AgCC患者的总连续正确反应较少。此外，与对照组相比，AgCC患者与正确单词的语义相似性总体上显着降低。这些发现表明，智力在正常范围内的AgCC患者在WCT测试中表现不佳，尽管他们最终往往能解决问题。这一结果与先前的研究一致，表明AgCC的胼胝体缺失导致对可能性的想象受到限制，限制了他们解决问题和推理的能力。结果还突出了语义相似度作为WCT评分手段的有效性。
Previous studies demonstrated that individuals with agenesis of the corpus callosum (AgCC) experience difficulties in novel and complex problem-solving. The present study investigated verbal problem-solving, deductive reasoning, and semantic inference in AgCC. Capacity for semantic inference was tested in 25 individuals with AgCC and normal-range intelligence compared to 29 neurotypical controls. The Word Context Test (WCT) of Delis–Kaplan Executive Function System was used, employing a novel method of analysis (semantic similarity) to detect trial-by-trial progress toward a solution. With respect to the typical WCT scores, persons with AgCC had fewer total consecutive correct responses. In addition, semantic similarity to the correct word was significantly lower overall in persons with AgCC than in controls. These findings indicated that individuals with AgCC who have intelligence in the normal range are less able at the WCT taking all trials into account, although they often solve the problem eventually. This outcome is consistent with previous research indicating that callosal absence in AgCC results in a restricted imagination for possibilities, limiting their problem-solving and inferential capacities. The results also highlight the usefulness of semantic similarity as a means of scoring the WCT.
