“…Previous research suggests that working memory and language impairment coexist in some persons with aphasia (Caspari, Parkinson, LaPointe, & Katz, 1998) while others have implicated posterior-inferior frontal lobe activation on both verbal and non-verbal working memory tasks (Coull, Frith, Frackowiak, & Grasby, 1996;Gaschler-Markefski, Yoneda, Kaulisch, Brechmann, & Scheich, 2003;Postle, Berger, Goldstein, Curtis, & D'Esposito, 2001). The pilot data showed no such activation during a single picture-word matching task as opposed to consistent activation associated with the 3-PWC in both study groups.…”
