标题：Conflict Resolution and Goal Maintenance Components of Executive Attention are Impaired in Persons with Aphasia: Evidence from the Picture-Word Interference Task
摘要：The exploration of a relationship between attentional impairments and impaired language performance in aphasiahas a relatively long history. Engle and Kane (2004), among others, have focused this discussion on executiveattention. Others have claimed that executive attention may be a critical component of the cognitive system thatsubtends some or all language processing impairments in persons with aphasia (PWA) (McNeil, Odell & Tseng,1991). This study explored this hypothesis by comparing the performance of PWA and normal controls using aninterference task to assess Conflict Resolution and Goal Maintenance in a lexical-semantic visual/reading task.
