“…Patients with deep dysphasia tend to produce formal paraphasias in addition to semantic word substitutions, although the proportion of one error type to another varies across individual cases (Howard & Franklin, 1988;Katz & Goodglass, 1990;Martin & Saffran, 1992;Michel & Andreewsky, 1983;Morton, 1980). Recently, two theories have been proposed to account for formal errors in naming and repetition (Blanken, 1998;Martin & Saffran, 1992), based on principles from Dell's (1986) interactive spreading activation language model. Dell's model was developed as a theory of language production, but has since been extended to input processes (Martin & Saffran, 1992;Martin, Saffran, & Dell, 1996).…”
