Reading faces: investigating the use of a novel face-based orthography in acquired alexia.

abstract：:Seven agrammatic Broca's aphasics and ten normal control subjects performed a word-monitoring task to determine the degree to which violations of syntax would affect word-monitoring performance. Both local and long-distance dependencies were explored, as well as the effects of additional interceding words. Results ind...
