Aphasic and nonaphasic subjects participated in a sentence verification task in which they were asked to judge whether spoken sentences correctly described pictures presented with the sentences. True active and true passive sentences were presented, as well as, false active and passive sentences in which agents and objects were reversed. In addition, false active sentences in which either the subject, verb, or object did not match the picture were presented. Subjects' response accuracy and reaction times were recorded. Passive sentences were more difficult than active sentences for both groups of subjects, and false sentences were verified more quickly than true sentences for both groups. Both groups appeared to be processing sentences for meaning as they were received, rather than waiting for the entire sentence before beginning to process it for meaning. In general, performance of aphasic subjects resembled that of nonaphasic subjects, except that aphasic subjects consistently took longer to verify sentence meaning than nonaphasic subjects.
失语症患者和非失语症患者参与了一项句子验证任务，在该任务中，他们被要求判断口语句子是否正确描述了与句子同时呈现的图片。呈现了真实的主动句和被动句，以及施事和受事颠倒的错误主动句和被动句。此外，还呈现了主语、动词或宾语与图片不匹配的错误主动句。记录了受试者的反应准确性和反应时间。对于两组受试者来说，被动句比主动句更难，并且两组对错误句子的验证都比对正确句子更快。两组受试者似乎在接收句子时就对其进行意义处理，而不是在整个句子接收完后才开始处理其意义。总体而言，失语症患者的表现与非失语症患者相似，只是失语症患者验证句子意义的时间始终比非失语症患者长。
