Acquired language disorder is a common consequence of stroke and traumatic brain injury (TBI). Following the logogen model, this study investigated word processing abilities post-stroke post-TBI patients. Within- between-group differences in comprehension, naming, reading were observed, as well predominant errors performance. Twenty-two 22 patients tested using tasks from Comprehensive Aphasia Test-HR (CAT-HR). Post-TBI outperformed naming reading. Both groups exhibited neologisms, phonological, semantic unrelated errors, although different proportions. In comprehension primarily whereas had equally distributed phonological errors. reading, both predominantly produced Error distribution differed only with exhibiting more than Therefore, performance differentiated these most. Although error analysis rather insightful, one cannot expect particular profile disturbances The findings obtained bear concrete clinical implications, especially those related to role meaning by patient determine exact location deficits.
