Opis

Research in the field of aphasiology has concentrated on a limited sample of the population. The language representation theories put forth have systematically been based on the observation of subjects who were adult, monolingual, right-handed, using an alphabetic code, etc. Bilingual individuals, ideographic code users, and children, for example, were placed in separate categories, excluded from the typical aphasic population.

Recenzje

"Apart from the obvious science that forms an excellent foundation for each chapter, there are frequent references to individual case data that make the volume, not only an excellent theoretical reference book, but one that is also interesting and entertaining."
—Contemporary Psychology
