“…In contrast, processing accounts (e.g., Kolk & Hartsuiker 2000) may be at an advantage to the extent that patient performance can be reliably related to independent indices of severity of aphasia, task difficulty and cognitive capacity. Differences in the dynamics of lexical activation is one such attempt to explain the observed co-occurrence of language impairments (Blumstein & Milberg 2000).…”

We present a study of 13 patients with aphasia, not screened by presumed subtype, showing strong correlations among disparate measures of fluency and measures of receptive and expressive grammatical ability related to verb functional categories. The findings are consistent with a single underlying dimension of severity. We suggest that subtyping be reexamined in light of performance patterns and only accepted when patient clustering is empirically derived and theoretically meaningful.

“…From Blumstein (1997) and Blumstein and Milberg (2000a), a possible consequence of this functional architecture is that minor alterations in the time course of the early stages of language processing may induce a cascading effect. Given that for almost all aspects of language performance, lexical access is one of the earliest processing stages, subtle changes in the dynamics of lexical activation may be expected to impact upon later stages of language processing.…”
