A study on language function from the point of view of the difference of cues used at aphasia therapy

我们分别显示了与三种语言流畅性任务相关的特定脑区。受试者是正常的母语为日语的人。我们假设，一个主题将检索模拟词的语义言语流畅性任务和完成任务，分别。但是，比较两种任务的结果，后者更激活右半球。从这个结果，我们表明，右半球的活动是重要的领导失语症患者的水平的表现。

We showed the specific brain areas related with three types of verbal fluency tasks, respectively. Subjects were normal native Japanese speakers. We presumed that a subject would retrieve analog words for semantic verbal fluency tasks and sentence-complete tasks, respectively. However, comparing between results of these two tasks, the latter more activated the right hemisphere. From this result, we showed that the right hemisphere activity was important to lead aphasia patients to sentence-level performance.
