A study was conducted in which aphasic patients, age-matched normals, and normal young adults performed five types of matching judgments for object pictures. These required matching for physical identity, basic object identity, and membership in the same superordinate category. Spoken name-to-picture matching was tested for the last two conditions. An analogous set of conditions was presented for letters. Latency patterns across the conditions showed general slowing for the aphasic patients, but with a differential decrement in the conditions that involved auditory (spoken name) input for the matching task. Results showed that variations in semantic judgment capability among the aphasics did not predict the patients' object naming ability.
一项研究对失语症患者、年龄匹配的正常人和正常年轻人进行了测试，让他们对物体图片进行五种类型的匹配判断。这些判断要求对物理特征、基本物体特征以及同一上位类别中的成员身份进行匹配。在最后两种情况下测试了口语名称与图片的匹配。对字母也设置了类似的一组情况。在所有这些情况下，失语症患者的反应潜伏期普遍延长，但在匹配任务中涉及听觉（口语名称）输入的情况下，反应潜伏期有不同程度的缩短。结果表明，失语症患者语义判断能力的差异并不能预测患者的物体命名能力。
