[Verbal comprehension with objects and its comparison with the token test in children].

This study analyzes the results obtained in the child from an application of the Token Test of the De Renzi and Vignolo and compares them with those obtained from the application of a similar Test, in which objects of more familiar semantic field were employed. Normal children ranking from 4 years 0 month to 8 years 11 months were studied for this purpose.

[In the boundaries of aphasia].

The anatomical boundaries of those structures whose lesion leads to the disturbances of language are indistintic and largely exceed the classical "areas of language", including subcortical structures as the thalamus and the non-dominant hemisphere. It is equally indistinct the possibility of definition of aphasic disturbances. On one hand aphasia can be seen within the realm of decodification, as a failure of a mental rather than of a verbal process, close to dementia, while among the codification mechanisms motor aphasia can appear a syndrome of phonetic desintegration with component of apraxic, dystonic and paretic nature.

A neurolinguistic longitudinal study of a pure motor aphasia.

We have made a detailed neurolinguistic study of a patient with motor aphasia. The method used for his reeducation and the variants found in his language from a linguistic point of view through the course of several months are described. During this study we have found similarities with cases studied by Marcie reached by him in the errors common in patients with motor aphasia.

[Comparative study of the structural gramatical performance in dyslalic and dysphasic children].

The comparative performance in the repetition of a set of sentences was investigated in 8 children with developmental aphasia, average 5-7 years and 8 dyslalic ones, average 5-3 years. None presented any hard neurological signs. A battery of sentences was devised for repetition purpose and used as stimulus.
