  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

 The purpose of this study is to investigate the critical point of language development from the viewpoint of the onset time and the recovery process of acquired childhood aphasia(ACA). The traditional clinical picture of ACA invariably claims nonfluency, and rapid and complete recovery. In our study, we investigated the symptoms, the recovery process and the lesion site in eight cases of ACA with localized lesions from cerebro-vascular disease mainly. As results, children with ACA showed higher recovery level than adult aphasics whose onset time was after 40 years of age, but their recovery level was almost the same as that of young aphasics whose onset time was between 15 and 27 year-old. Though the recovery level is high, the improvement was limited, and the scores of sentence repetition and Kanji writing were significantly lower than those of controls. As all children with ACA have lesions in the left hemisphere, and the earliest case of onset was presumed to be around two years of age, we suggest the possibility of the dominancy of the left hemisphere to be established in the second year after birth and the critical point of language development is assumed to be prior to the second year of age.
