本研究采用图片-图片匹配任务，对20名帕金森病患者和20名年龄、性别、受教育程度和社会经济地位相匹配的正常人进行了4类具有复杂主题角色（句法）且无语义和语用限制（可逆）的关系从句的理解测试。结果显示，与NC相比，PD患者存在明显的语言障碍。来自对1年级（GI）和6年级（G6）的学龄儿童进行测试的其他证据表明，G1儿童的表现与PD患者相似，G6儿童的表现与NC一样高。研究结果表明：（1）PD患者在启发式而非算法基础上处理具有复杂主题角色和语义可逆性的句子，这是一种被认为与额叶功能障碍相关的行为;（2）PD患者显示出与失语症患者相似的语言行为模式。PD患者和G1儿童之间语言行为的相似性在“回归假说”方面进行了讨论（Jacobson，1968）。
Twenty patients with Parkinson disease (PD) and twenty normal control subjects (NC) matched on age, sex, education and socio-economic status (SES) were tested for comprehension of four types of relative clauses with complex thematic roles (syntax) and no semantic and pragmatic constraints (reversible) in a sentence-picture matching task. The results show a clear language impairment for PD patients compared to NC. Additional evidence from testing school children in grade 1 (GI) and grade 6 (G6) indicates that G 1 children perform similar to PD patients and G6 children perform as high as NC. The overall picture of the findings suggests: (1) PD patients process sentences with complex thematic roles and semantic reversibility on a heuristic and not on an algorithmic basis, a type of behavior assumed to be associated with frontal lobe dysfunction; (2) PD patients display some patterns of language behavior similar to those observed in aphasics. Similarities in language behavior between PD patients and G 1 children are discussed with regard to the “regression hypothesis” (Jacobson, 1968).
