Abstract:
This article briefly describes the primary characteristics ofthe communication problems associated with right hemisphere damage. It presents a test battery, the RIC Evaluation of Communication Problems in Right Hemisphere Dysfunction-2 (RICE-2; Halper, Burns, Cherney, & Mogil, 1991), that has been developed for this population. Preliminary results of a study to validate the RICE-2 indicate that the tool is sensitive to measuring the differences between nonneurologically impaired individuals and right hemisphere stroke patients. Test scores of individual subjects who are representative of different cognitive-communicative severity levels are presented to illustrate variability in patterns of performance.

Language formation and comprehension take place in the dominant hemisphere. The dominant hemisphere is responsible for understanding the meaning of spoken, written, or sign language, as well as the ability to communicate. For most people, the left hemisphere is the dominant one. The right hemisphere, then, gives tone and emotional context to the...
