OBJECTIVE: To investigate semantic memory in brain-injured patients. METHODS: We
used the new word questionnaire (QMN) to assess the ability of 12 brain-injured
patients and 12 healthy controls to define French words, which had been admitted
to the dictionary in 1996 to 1997 or in 2006 to 2007. RESULTS: Despite amnesia or
severe executive disorders, the brain-injured patients were able to learn new
words and remember those that they already learnt. They successfully selected the
relevant phrase in which the new word was placed and were reasonably good at
recognizing the right definition from among decoys. In contrast, they had trouble
defining the words and compensated for this by giving examples. These problems
were correlated with their vocabulary and executive function scores in a battery
of neuropsychological tests. CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that frontal injury
leads to an impairment in accurate word selection and the scheduling abilities
required to generate word definitions.
