This paper examines the processing of negative sentences with respect to their truth value in fluent aphasic subjects. Three groups of 25 subjects each (men and women) were studied: the first group consisted of fluent aphasics, the second consisted of right temporal lobe-damaged subjects, and the third of normal subjects. An experiment of sentence verification was carried out. A quantitative study of reaction time (RT) and a qualitative study of the types of answers were carried out. The results show that the fluent aphasics were impaired in their logical semantic processing of negative sentences and showed a predilection for the affirmative in answering strategies. The right temporal lobe-damaged subjects showed differences only in respect to the normal subjects in the RT, but not in answering strategies. The results suggest that in Wernicke's Aphasics there is a tendency to substitute a type of contextual-pragmatic processing for the logical semantic processing. @ 1992 Academic Press, Inc.
