Abstract:
The aim of this research was to investigate if there were differences in non-verbal behaviour at persons with different forms of aphasia while resolving certain problems, and time spent for finding solutions to them. The research involved 30 patients with motoric, sensory and senso-motoric aphasia, in the area of 7 non-verbal variables. Using the statistical method (discriminatory analysis) we came up with the results confirming that there is a difference in the quality of problem solution at patients with different forms of aphasia, but the time frame for problem solving does not differ significantly with the same patients.
