Abstract
This study explored the prediction that caves with anterior communicating a rtery (ACoA) syndrome will exhibit deficits in higher-level language produc tion and comprehension. A 65-year-old adult male with a history of ACoA syn drome was tested on higher-level linguistic tasks. The patient's performanc e on discourse comprehension, discourse production, and linguistic ambiguit y comprehension tasks was impaired. (C) 2001 Academic Press.
