Ten global aphasics and eight brain-damaged non-aphasics were given a test of sign comprehension. The test contained natural, animal and human signs. Subjects were matched for etiology, age and residual intellectual functioning. The global aphasics scored significantly lower than the nonaphasics on the test of sign comprehension, indicating that global aphasia might be reconsidered as a disorder of sign comprehension.
对10名完全性失语症患者和8名脑损伤非失语症患者进行了手语理解测试。该测试包含自然、动物和人类手语。根据病因、年龄和残余智力功能对受试者进行了匹配。完全性失语症患者在手语理解测试中的得分显著低于非失语症患者，这表明完全性失语症可能应被重新视为一种手语理解障碍。
