Idiom comprehension in 15 aphasic patients was assessed with three tasks: a sentence-to-picture matching task, a sentence-to-word matching task and an oral definition task. The results of all three tasks showed that the idiom comprehension in aphasic patients was impaired compared to that of the control group, and was significantly affected by the type of task and type of idiom. Whilst performance on the oral definition and sentence-to-picture matching tasks was similarly impaired, the patients performed significantly better on the sentence-to-word matching task. The results confirm the relevance of task and idiom type in drawing conclusions about figurative language interpretation in brain-damaged patients.
通过三项任务对15名失语症患者的习语理解能力进行了评估：句子与图片匹配任务、句子与单词匹配任务以及口头定义任务。所有这三项任务的结果均显示，与对照组相比，失语症患者的习语理解能力受损，并且受到任务类型和习语类型的显著影响。虽然口头定义任务和句子与图片匹配任务的表现同样受损，但患者在句子与单词匹配任务上的表现明显更好。这些结果证实了在得出关于脑损伤患者比喻性语言解释的结论时，任务和习语类型的相关性。
