Picture naming deficits: a single case study.
A single case study of a 68 year old patient, with picture naming deficits, has been reported. The aim of this study was to determine the level of breakdown in the picture naming process and to examine the nature of the impairment utilizing an information processing framework. The results of this investigation demonstrate, that DA's difficulties are not attributable to breakdown either at the level of access to semantics or to speech output lexicon as suggested in the literature, but to breakdown beyond that level.
