  • Title: An investigation of Luria's hypothesis on prompting in aphasic naming disturbances.
    Author: Li EC, Canter GJ.
    Journal: J Commun Disord; 1987 Dec; 20(6):469-75. PubMed ID: 3693592.
    Abstract:
    This study investigated Luria's hypothesis that aphasic subgroups would respond differentially to phonemic prompts. Responsiveness to initial-sound cues was examined in 40 aphasics--10 Broca's, conduction, Wernicke's, and anomic aphasics who had naming difficulties. Results, with the exception of the anomic aphasic group, supported Luria's predictions. Broca's aphasics were responsive to phonemic cueing, while Wernicke's aphasics were not. Conduction aphasics tended to respond in a fashion similar to the Wernicke's group. The relationship of cueing responsiveness to underlying naming mechanisms is discussed.
