title: [Course studies of spontaneous speech and graphic achievements in 175 aphasics].
abstract: In 175 aphasic patients with agraphia the course of the expressive oral and graphic performances was compared. Spontaneous speech and writing and the writing of dictated words and sentences were investigated and evaluated. In addition, several peculiarities of this syndrome were examined. The investigations showed that the relationship between the expressive oral and graphic performances changes in the course of improvement depending on the type of aphasia. In the first period of testing no difference was found in the performances of patients with total aphasia and motor-amnesic aphasia; in the group of mixed aphasics and sensory-amnesic aphasics, however, the oral performance predominated the writing. Investigations at later periods showed that in the cases of total aphasia the improvement of the oral performance was better whereas in the cases of motor-amnesic and sensory-amnesic aphasia the graphic performance was more improved.
