Peer reviewedSaffran, Eleanor M.; Coslett, H. Branch; Martin, Nadine; Boronat, Consuelo B. – Language and Cognitive Processes, 2003
Presents data from a patient with a progressive fluent aphasia, who exhibited a severe verbal impairment but a relatively preserved access to knowledge from pictures. Argues for a distributed, multi-modality system for semantic memory in which information is stored in different brain regions and in different representational formats. (Author/VWL)
