The aim of the study is to investigate whether the disorders of calculation observed in patients with Broca's aphasia are due to linguistic factors whereas those observed in patients with Wernicke's aphasia may be reduced in part to a disorder in the ability of spatial visualization. Two sets of arithmetic tasks were given to 20 Broca's aphasics, 20 Wernicke's aphasics, 20 patients with right hemispheric retrorolandic cerebral lesions and 40 patients with no brain damage. The solution of the tasks required different degrees of spatial visualization. The statistical evaluation of the data showed, as hypothesized, that Wernicke's aphasics perform significantly poorer than Broca's aphasics in tasks with a more pronounced spatial component than in the tasks having a predominantly verbal component.
本研究的目的是调查布罗卡失语症患者中观察到的计算障碍是否归因于语言因素，而韦尼克失语症患者中观察到的计算障碍是否可能部分归因于空间可视化能力障碍。向20名布罗卡失语症患者、20名韦尼克失语症患者、20名右半球罗兰后脑部病变患者和40名无脑部损伤的患者进行了两组算术任务。任务的解决需要不同程度的空间可视化。数据的统计评估表明，如假设的那样，在具有更明显空间成分的任务中，韦尼克失语症患者的表现明显比布罗卡失语症患者差，而在主要具有语言成分的任务中则不然。
