Concept Formation by Aphasic Adults using Kendler's Reversal and Nonreversal Paradigm

Abstract

Summary This study investigates the ability of aphasic and nonlanguage impaired adults to form concepts using the reversal‐nonreversal paradigm popularized by Kendler. Results indicate a significant difference between the groups to form and then switch concepts. Aphasic subjects perform similarly to the normal subjects on this task but at a slower rate. Implications for therapy and further research are given.
