Eight aphasic and eight brain-damaged nonaphasic patients silently "read" a short passage while performing an internal search for specified consonant letters of varying phonological and syntactic salience. The nonaphasic patients showed the phonological and syntactic effects customarily achieved by normal readers. For example, they were more likely to find a letter if it were pronounced than if it were silent, and they were more likely to find a letter if it were in a content word than in a function word. The aphasics had reliable phonological effects but no observable syntactic effects. Those aphasics with relatively large phonological effects performed better on a separate task requiring the oral reading of isolated words. For reading theory, the primary message from this study is that phonological recoding may occur between word recognition and the completion of semantic analysis, and that recoding may not by itself be sufficient to reading for meaning. For aphasia theory, the main implication of this study is that aphasics read by applying the appropriate phonological strategies, but that such strategies are limited in the face of ineffective syntactic and semantic processing, as occurs in aphasia.
八名失语症患者和八名脑损伤非失语症患者在默读一篇短文的同时，内心搜索具有不同语音和句法显著性的特定辅音字母。非失语症患者表现出了正常读者通常会有的语音和句法效应。例如，如果字母发音，他们比字母不发音时更有可能找到它；如果字母在实词中，他们比在虚词中更有可能找到它。失语症患者有可靠的语音效应，但没有可观察到的句法效应。那些语音效应相对较大的失语症患者在另一项要求口头朗读孤立单词的任务中表现更好。对于阅读理论而言，这项研究的主要信息是，语音再编码可能发生在单词识别和语义分析完成之间，而且这种再编码本身可能不足以实现有意义的阅读。对于失语症理论来说，这项研究的主要启示是，失语症患者通过应用适当的语音策略进行阅读，但面对失语症中出现的无效句法和语义处理时，这些策略是有限的。
