    Fluent aphasia significantly disrupts classification abilities more than nonfluent aphasia, particularly for function-based relations. Naming items impacted classification only at the basic level.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurolinguistics
    • Cognitive Psychology
    • Speech and Language Pathology

    Background:

    • Aphasia, a language disorder resulting from brain damage, affects individuals differently based on fluency.
    • Understanding semantic processing deficits in aphasia is crucial for targeted rehabilitation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare classification abilities between nonfluent and fluent aphasics.
    • To investigate the impact of different relation types (category, function) on classification performance.
    • To determine the role of item naming in classification accuracy.

    Main Methods:

    • Aphasics performed classification tasks involving same basic level category, superordinate category, and function relations.
    • Stimuli were presented in both word and picture formats.

  • Participants were also required to name the presented items.

    • Main Results:

    • Classification abilities are more impaired in fluent aphasia compared to nonfluent aphasia.
    • Within fluent aphasia, performance varied by relation type, with function relations showing the greatest disruption.
    • Item naming significantly affected classification accuracy only for basic level categories.

    Conclusions:

    • Fluent aphasia presents more profound deficits in semantic classification than nonfluent aphasia.
    • The type of semantic relation (e.g., function) differentially impacts classification in fluent aphasia.
    • The relationship between naming and classification is specific to the basic level category.
