[Various approaches to restoration of visual memory in aphasia].

The techniques of restitution of visual memory in aphasia patients are described. A specially designed testing procedure proved their efficiency. Analyzed is the dependence of visual memory restitution on the form and severity of aphasia, age and educational level of the patients. Verbal mediation of the memorized visual information is uneffective in aphasia. The results are treated in terms of psychological and neuropsychological concepts of memory.

[Visual memory in aphasics].

The capacity of memorization and subsequent recognition and reproduction of visual images of various degrees of verbalization was studied experimentally in patients with different forms of aphasia. The nature of visual memory disorders was found to correlate with specific characteristics of disturbances of higher psychic functions in different forms of aphasia. It was revealed that in aphasic versus normal subjects, the way of trace ecphoria was more important for memorization than the degree of material verbalization. The authors analyze specific features of the reverse development of visual memory disorders associated with various forms of aphasia over rehabilitation training.
