Difficulty accessing words is the most prevalent aphasic language deficit and is common to all aphasicsyndromes (Dell et al., 1997). Recent studies suggest that individuals with Broca’s aphasia exhibit delayedlexical access during comprehension, which contributes to sentence comprehension deficits (Love et al.2008). This study examined whether lexical access is delayed only in Broca’s aphasia or whether thisextends to other aphasia types. We tested whether lexical access is affected similarly in anomic and Broca’saphasia during word comprehension.
