Abstract

Individuals with a left frontal brain injury show significant impairments in their speech ability. The aims of the present study were (1) to assess and compare the ability of speech acts comprehension and executive function between individuals with a left frontal brain injury and normal individuals, and (2) to investigate the correlation of speech act comprehension ability factors. The study's subjects were 18 individuals with a left frontal brain injury and 18 normal control adults of the same age, gender, and educational age. The following results were obtained. First, the group of individuals with a left frontal brain injury had lower speech act comprehension, executive function than the normal control group. Second, the speech act comprehension ability of the individuals with a left frontal brain injury showed a high correlation with the executive function.

본 연구는 좌측 전두엽 손상자(Individual with Left Frontal Lobe Injury, ILFLI)의 화행이해능력을 평가하고 화행이해능력과 실행기능 간의 상관을 살펴보았다. 연구대상은 ILFLI집단 18명과 정상 성인집단 18명으로 하였으며, 이들에게 화행이해능력검사와 Kims 전두엽-실행기능 검사 중 EXIT를 실시하여 화행이해능력과 EIQ를 측정하였다. 연구결과 ILFLI가 정상성인 보다 화행이해능력과 실행기능이 낮게 나타났으며, ILFLI의 화행이해능력과 실행기능 간에는 유의미한 상관이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 ILFLI는 화행이해능력에 손상이 있으며, 이를 향상시키기 위해서는 전통적인 언어치료 접근법과 더불어 실행기능을 향상시키기 위한 프로그램이 함께 이루어져야 함을 제언하는 바이다.
