TL;DR
In rehabilitated patients recovery of oral ad written comprehension and expression always turned out to be linked; in non-rehabilitated patients oral comprehension recovery was not associated with recovery of Oral expression, reading and writing.
Abstract
Three hundred and eighty-eight aphasic patients (250 rehabilitated and 138 non-rehabilitated) were subjected to a study whose aim was to analyze the relationship between recovery in 4 specific language skills: oral and written expression and comprehension. By means of Cohen's K coefficient of agreement we sought to ascertain whether recovery of one out of these language skills significantly affected recovery of the remaining 3 language modalities. In rehabilitated patients recovery of oral ad written comprehension and expression always turned out to be linked; in non-rehabilitated patients oral comprehension recovery was not associated with recovery of oral expression, reading and writing. Regarding the evolution of aphasia type, none of the experimental subjects changed from a fluent to a non-fluent form of aphasia.

A neuropsychological dissociation of heuristic and algorithmic processes based primarily, though not exclusively, on semantic and syntactic information, respectively is supported.

The 36-item-version of the token test appears to be an useful and convenient device to diagnose aphasic impairment of language comprehension and supports previous studies pointing to the sensitivity of the Token Test to the presence of oral language disorders.

Long-term follow-up demonstrated that global aphasics have a poor prognosis, while Broca's and Wernicke's have an intermediate one and complete recovery occurred frequently among anomic, conduction and transcortical aphasICS and in more than half of the traumatic cases.

It was found that rehabilitation has a significant positive effect on improvement in all language skills and time between onset and first examination and overall severity of aphasia were negatively related to improvement.
NeuropsychologiaGrammatical judgments of agrammatic aphasics
238 Citations1972Edgar Zurif, Alfonso Caramazza +1 more
It is suggested that expressive agrammatism is only one aspect of an impairment involving all language modalities, and while normal subjects are often constrained by surface syntactic properties, agrammatic patients operate on a hierarchical scheme that excludes anything nonessential to the intrinsic meaning of a sentence.

227 Citations1976Harold Goodglass, Errol Baker
Both latency and miss rate measures indicated that failure to name a word is associated with reduced semantic field for that word, supporting the view that nameing is, in part, determined by the convergence of associations.

It is argued that studies of aphasic language provide a valuable source of constraints on theories of normal language processing and support theoretical assumptions concerning the functional independence of various components ofnormal language processing.

124 Citations1978Peter J. Whitehouse
The naming difficulties of Broca's and anomic aphasics were explored in relation to a recently developed model of the normal mental lexicon which stresses the importance of integrating perceptual and functional information in the act of naming, and equally stresses the inherent vagueness of conceptual categories based on such information.

There were no qualitative or quantitative differences among the groups in the course of recovery, despite the fact that the groups differed in the severity of aphasia as well as on the fluency dimension.

Examination of each group's recovery revealed a more selective improvement largely in comprehension and imitation tasks for the two Low Comprehension groups, and implications of this selective improvement in initially low comprehending aphasics are discussed.

The test-retest scores for these non-fluent aphasics revealed that Writing Copying showed the most improvement, followed by tests of comprehension, and Tests of expressive performance showed the least improvement.

If in aphasia the signs of semantic impairment that can be observed at the levels of language production and of auditory comprehension are independent, or if they are reciprocally related, is studied.

The statistical analysis has established that language rehabilitation has a positive effect on the improvement of oral expression, while the duration of aphasia at the time of the first examination has an equally significant, but negative effect on improvement.
