“…The advantage of movie narratives over conversational speech samples is that the story line and participants are known at the outset, which simplifies to some degree the task of identifying targets. Also, patients are under some pressure to produce specific content and thus are less likely to resort to empty speech or other strategies for circumventing retrieval blocks (e.g., Panzeri, Semenza, & Butterworth, 1987) In other respects, our analysis was modeled on Schwartz et al (1994). Like their F.L., our subject is a Wernicke's aphasic patient, whose speech was aberrant at the phonological, lexical, and syntactic levels.…”
