ABSTRACT
A computerized task battery was constructed to assess the efficacy of specific processes used in image generation, inspection, maintenance, and transformation. This battery was designed to test patients with aphasia, allowing investigation of the relationship between language and imagery. The feasibility of this use of the battery was demonstrated by testing two aphasics, a Broca’s and a Wernicke’s. The results were consistent with claims that the left hemisphere has a significant role in mental imagery.
