Aphasics, especially those diagnosed as Broca's, have more difficulties than patients will right hemisphere lesions when required to order six pictures on the basis of a single feature delineated by the extremes of the rank-order. Additional analyses indicate that they tend also to perform worse than patients with diffuse injuries and than patients with left hemispheric lesions without aphasia. Differences are more pronounced when the critical features have to be inferred from the depicted objects (e.g. age of persons) than when they can be seen directly in the drawings (e.g. girth of persons). The performance of the aphasics correlated significantly with word comprehension scores but negligible with the Token Test. Results are discussed with respect to analytical functions differentially impaired in aphasia.
失语症患者，尤其是那些被诊断为布罗卡失语症的患者，在被要求根据由排序极端值所描绘的单一特征对六张图片进行排序时，比患有右脑损伤的患者有更多困难。进一步的分析表明，他们的表现往往也比弥漫性损伤患者和没有失语症的左脑损伤患者更差。当关键特征必须从所描绘的物体中推断出来（例如人物的年龄）时，差异比当它们可以直接在图画中看到时（例如人物的腰围）更为明显。失语症患者的表现与单词理解分数显著相关，但与代币测试的相关性可忽略不计。针对失语症中不同受损的分析功能对结果进行了讨论。
