Research has shown that Broca’s and Wernicke’s aphasic patients show diVerent impairments in auditory lexical processing. The results of an experiment with form-overlapping primes showed an inhibitory eVect of form-overlap for control adults and a weak inhibition trend for Broca’s aphasic patients, but a facilitatory eVect of form-overlap was found for Wernicke’s aphasic participants. This suggests that Wernicke’s aphasic patients are mainly impaired in suppression of once-activated word candidates and selection of one winning candidate, which may be related to their problems in auditory language comprehension.
