Children and young adults who had undergone right or left hemispherectomy for intractable seizures after a period of normal language acquisition were compared with respect to scores on speech and language tests. The majority of the subjects had full scale IQs in the borderline to mentally retarded range. Language scores were computed in relation to estimated mental age, not chronological age. On this basis, the left hemispherectomized children were more likely to show syntactic comprehension and rapid-rate auditory processing deficits than the right hemispherectomized. The two groups were similar to one another and to normal children in speech production. The findings are discussed in relation to developmental language disorders.
对那些在经历一段正常语言习得期后因顽固性癫痫接受了右半球或左半球切除术的儿童和青少年进行了言语和语言测试分数方面的比较。大多数受试者的全量表智商处于临界至智力发育迟缓范围。语言分数是根据估计的心理年龄而非实际年龄计算的。在此基础上，与接受右半球切除术的儿童相比，接受左半球切除术的儿童更有可能出现句法理解和快速听觉处理缺陷。两组在言语表达方面彼此相似，且与正常儿童相似。结合发育性语言障碍对这些发现进行了讨论。
