P. Hagoort (1988, Brain and Language, 36, 335-348) suggests that the results of an experiment conducted with aphasic patients reported by W. Milberg, S. E. Blumstein, and B. Dworetzky (1987, Brain and Language, 31, 138-150) are "difficult to interpret in terms of a selective access model for normal processing because of a confound caused by the use of repeated lexical decision targets." We argue that the use of repeated lexical decision targets and other methodological compromises are necessary for using the lexical decision reaction time paradigm with aphasic patients. Furthermore, the minor differences between our data and those presented by Hagoort do not undermine our claims concerning semantic processing in different subgroups of aphasics, nor our comparisons of these patients to normal subjects.
P. 哈戈特（1988年，《大脑与语言》，第36卷，第335 - 348页）指出，W. 米尔伯格、S. E. 布卢姆斯坦和B. 德沃雷茨基（1987年，《大脑与语言》，第31卷，第138 - 150页）报告的一项针对失语症患者进行的实验结果“由于使用重复的词汇判定目标而产生混淆，难以根据正常加工的选择性通达模型来解释”。我们认为，对于失语症患者使用词汇判定反应时范式而言，使用重复的词汇判定目标以及其他方法上的妥协是必要的。此外，我们的数据与哈戈特所呈现的数据之间的细微差异，既没有削弱我们关于不同失语症亚组语义加工的主张，也没有影响我们将这些患者与正常受试者进行的比较。
