This research was supported by NIH grants R01DC00856 and R01DC00262 to the University of Maryland School of Medicine. We are grateful to Michael Weinrich, Myrna Schwartz, Karalyn Patterson, and an anonymous reviewer for helpful comments. Above all, we gratefully acknowledge the influence of our friend and colleague Eleanor M.Saffran, whose ideas and findings directly underpin the current study through her seminal work on the preservation of linguistic knowledge in agrammatism, the role of memory in language processing, and the development of quantitative methods and psycholinguistic models for the analysis of aphasic language disorders.
