Database of Neurolinguistics evidence of oral discourse in schizophrenic patients. Comparative analysis with Wernicke's aphasia

The purpose of this research was to obtain empirical evidence about cognitive mechanisms that underlie the alterations of verbal communication in both types of patients, from the comparative analysis of their execution in neurocognitive and neurolinguistic tests. The study was implemented in a population of 70 patients organized into two groups: 35 aphasics and 35 schizophrenics. Both groups were subjected to the tests of Semantic Matching of Images, Identification of Homonymous Images and Oral Denomination of Images and Comics.本研究旨在通过对两类患者在神经认知测试与神经语言测试中的任务完成情况开展对比分析，获取支撑其言语沟通障碍背后认知机制的实证证据。本研究的受试群体共70名患者，分为两组：35名失语症患者与35名精神分裂症患者。两组受试均接受了图像语义匹配测试（Semantic Matching of Images）、同形异义图像识别测试（Identification of Homonymous Images）以及图像与漫画口头命名测试（Oral Denomination of Images and Comics）。
