Figure-object matching: another frequent nonverbal impairment of aphasics

S Della Sala. Ital J Neurol Sci. 1987 Feb.

Abstract

389 focal brain-damaged patients were examined by means of a nonverbal Figure-Object Matching Test (FOMT) and standardized aphasia battery. An LH lesion proved to be more relevant than an RH lesion to the outcome on FOMT. Both the presence and severity of aphasia play a significant role in the poor outcome on FOMT while type of aphasia, intelligence impairment (WAIS performance IQ) and presence of a visual field defect do not. It is concluded that this type of nonverbal defect of aphasics reflects a basic disorder, linked in some way to language impairment.
