Eighty-four sign glosses in the elementary-aged lexicon and 87 in the adolescent/adult lexicon for language-impaired severely mentally retarded individuals were examined for usefulness in terms of eight variables. Concept concreteness and word frequency were significantly represented for adolescent/adult lexicons but not for elementary lexicons.…

Examination of hypothesis-testing and nonlinguistic symbolic abilities of 10 language impaired and 10 language normal children revealed that language impaired Ss performed significantly more poorly than controls on haptic recognition tasks and on a portion of the discrimination learning task. No differences were found between the groups' concept…

Peer reviewedLombardino, Linda J.; And Others – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1986
Structural play-language relationships and diversity of symbolic play skills were compared with five language impaired and five nonimpaired children (ages 27-39 months). Findings indicated differences in mean length of utterance, mean length of sequence, and quantitative and qualitative aspects of symbolic play. (Author/DB)

Summarized are several nonverbal assessment techniques for aphasics. Two experiments concern speech perception (the scaling of speech and the relationship between aphasic's performance and level of auditory impairment) and one concerns the impact of aphasia on one's affective or attitudinal response to a symbol (connotative meaning).
