Idiom comprehension in 15 aphasic patients was assessed with three tasks: a sentence-to-picture matching task, a sentence-to-word matching task and an oral deWnition task. The results of all three tasks showed that the idiom comprehension in aphasic patients was impaired compared to that of the control group, and was signiWcantly aVected by the type of task and type of idiom. Whilst performance on the oral deWnition and sentence-to-picture matching tasks was similarly impaired, the patients performed signiWcantly better on the sentence-to-word matching task. The results conWrm the relevance of task and idiom type in drawing conclusions about Wgurative language interpretation in brain-damaged patients.
