“…Finally, although there appear to be rare cases of individuals with impaired language but intact cognition (van der Lely, Rosen, & McClelland, 1998) and cases of individuals with (nearly) normal language but significantly impaired cognition (Bellugi, Bihrle, Jernigan, Trauner, & Doherty, 1990;Bellugi, Lichtenberger, Jones, Lai, & St George, 2000;Johnson & Carey, 1998), across the population at large, language and cognition are correlated.
