The purpose of this study was to assess both conceptual knowledge and classification skills in nonfluent and fluent aphasia by focusing on the aphasics' appreciation of class and function relations. The results illustrated that fluent and nonfluent aphasics appreciated both class and function relations. However, further study revealed that even though the fluent aphasic may know the function of an item, he is impaired in his ability to use this information. The nonfluent aphasics also illustrated this tendency not to use their knowledge about function, but to a lesser extent and without the consistency found in the performance of fluent aphasics.
This article describes how we and others have exploited online methodology to investigate normal and disordered language processing in adults. Online tasks can be used to measure effects occurring ...
Every function of n inputs can be efficiently computed by a complete network of n processors in such a way that: If no faults occur, no set of size t n /2 of players gets any additional information (other than the function value), Even if Byzantine faults are allowed, no set of size t n /3 can either disrupt the computation or get additional information. Furthermore, the above bounds on t are tight!
