damaged patients excluding the possible interference of linguistic deficits. To this aim, we …

Aim of the present study is to provide a multifocal assessment of pragmatic abilities in
patients with right hemisphere damage (RHD). Pragmatics refers to the ability to use …

Right hemisphere brain damage (RHD) rarely causes aphasias marked by clear and
widespread failures of comprehension or extreme difficulty producing fluent speech …

Apraxia is characterised by multiple deficits of higher motor functions, primarily caused by

Objective: To describe the frequency of pragmatic and executive deficits in right brain
damaged (RBD) and in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients, and to verify possible …

Despite considerable interest in the linguistic dimensions of right-hemisphere (RH)
pragmatic language disorders, the cognitive bases for these are rarely examined. This study …

Background: Difficulties in social cognition and interaction can characterise adults with
unilateral right hemisphere brain damage (RHD). Some pertinent evidence involves their …

This article reviews and evaluates leading accounts of narrative comprehension deficits in

brain-damaged patients since these provide major constraints on identifying the essential …

Deficits in pragmatic language ability are common to a number of clinical populations, for
example, right-hemisphere damage (RHD), Autism and traumatic brain injury (TBI). In these …
