  • Look Inside

Recovery processes of two English-Japanese bi-lingual aphasics were investigated with specialemphasia on the effect of language therapy.Although the two patients had different types ofaphasia (one Broca's aphasia and the otherWernicke's aphasia), the degree of the languageimpairment initially manifested in English andJapanese was almost equivalent in each case withthe pattern of impairment corresponding to therespective types of aphasia.

In either case, language therapy was conducted inEnglish, and the course of recovery during the firstsix months was analyzed. The results indicatedthat auditory comprehension improved almost sim-ultaneously in both treated (English) and untreated(Japanese) languages regardless of the type of thepatients' aphasia. In contrast, oral language pro-duction in Broca's aphasia improved only for thetreated language while that in Wernicke's aphasiaimproved simultaneously for bothl anguages. Wri-ting ability seemed to improve as a function of longuage therapy in both cases. The implications forthe elationship between spontaneous recovery andthe effects of treatment were discussed.
