Acquired aphasia in children: the dichotomy fluent - nonfluent.
Abstract
Acquired aphasia in children has generally been considered to be nonfluent, and to occur frequently after right hemisphere lesion. The purpose of the study is to determine whether: 1) the traditional description of the clinical picture is still acceptable; 2) two clear-cut groups (fluent and nonfluent) can be determined.Researcher(s)

An analysis of the heterogeneity of the clinical pictures of acquired childhood aphasia, with a description of electroencephalographically and neuroradiologically visualized cerebral abnormalities.
Abstract
The traditional description of acquired childhood aphasia states that it is characterized by an universal and stereotype non-fluent clinical picture, irrespective of lesion localization. This study aims at assessing whether this standard doctrine is still tenable in the light of modern neurophysiological and radiological examination techniques. The implication of our research for theories of cerebral maturation, particularly with regards to the equipotentiality of both hemispheres, are also investigated.Researcher(s)
