摘要:Deficits in working memory (WM) are a critical subset of non-linguistic deficits in aphasia. Significant diftrences between WM capacity of individuals with and without aphasia (Wright et al., 2003) and significant correlations between WM and general language measures (Wright et al., 2007) have been demonstrated. Further study of the role ofWM in aphasia is important, for better understanding of the non-linguistic aspects of aphasia, developing valid and reliable assessment methods, and providing optimal treatment while taking non-linguistic fectors into account.
