【Abstract】 Objective:To study the effect of auditory comprehension on repetition in fluency aphasia caused by ischemic cerebral disease. Methods: Auditory comprehension and repetition were compared between 37 recovering cases and 29 controls with fluency aphasia. The Chinese Aphasia Test was administered on 3 separate occasions on the first admission, as well as one month and one year after admission. Results: There was no significant group difference on auditory comprehension and repetition during the first assessment. There were however significant differences in both auditory comprehension and repetition between the two groups one month and one year later. As auditory comprehension recovered, the function of repetition also improved accordingly. Conclusion: The recovery of auditory comprehension facilitated improvement of repetition function.更多还原
