Abstract

The present study was carried out with the aim of investigating auditory discrimination in persons with aphasia. Neurotypical participants, persons with anomic aphasia and persons with Broca’s aphasia served as the participants of the study. Auditory discrimination task was carried out on all the participants. The participants were instructed to denote if the pair of words was alike or different by pressing the designated keys on a game pad. Neurotypical participants and persons with anomic aphasia performed equally well on all three set of stimulus. Persons with Broca’s aphasia exhibited subtle deficits in auditory discrimination and the difficulty was more for non-words, as these non-words were deprived of lexical-semantic information

 

Keywords:Auditory discrimination, Broca’s aphasia, lemma node, lexical semantics, minimal pairs, phonetic element
