虽然有证据表明不能根据失语症的严重程度来预测注意力、记忆力、执行功能和视觉空间技能等非语言技能的完整性，但失语症患者认知的其他方面与语言状态之间的关系还没有得到很好的建立。与此同时，基于临床经验和初步研究，康复专家越来越认识到认知的所有领域对失语症治疗结果都很重要。本文描述了一个新的研究语言和非语言技能之间的关系，在一组人与失语症。语言和非语言技能之间，以及非语言技能和年龄，教育或发病后的时间之间没有显着的关系。这些发现对失语症患者管理的意义进行了讨论。学习结果：本文的读者将能够：列出认知的五个主要领域，并将每个领域与失语症治疗的一个方面联系起来;描述至少三项研究，研究认知和失语症之间的关系;描述了四个非语言的认知任务，可用于广泛的失语症患者。(C)2002年爱思唯尔科学公司All rights reserved.
The relation between other aspects of cognition and language status of individuals with aphasia is not well-established, although there is some evidence that integrity of nonlinguistic skills of attention, memory, executive function and visuospatial skills can not be predicted on the basis of aphasia severity. At the same time, there is a growing realization among rehabilitation specialists, based on clinical experience and preliminary studies, that all domains of cognition are important to aphasia therapy outcomes. This paper describes a new study of the relation between linguistic and nonlinguistic skill in a group of individuals with aphasia. No significant relationship was found between linguistic and nonlinguistic skills, and between nonlinguistic skills and age, education or time post onset. Instead, individual profiles of strengths and weaknesses were found. The implications of these findings for management of aphasia patients is discussed.Learning outcomes: Readers of this papers will be able to: list five primary domains of cognition and relate each to an aspect of aphasia therapy; describe at least three studies that examined the relation between cognition and aphasia; describe four nonlinguistic tasks of cognition that can be used with a wide range of aphasia patients.
