Example Sentences:
(1) Twenty-five cases of alexia were examined with Chinese Alexia Test which was devised according to the features of Chinese ideogram.
(2) The present investigation was designed to overcome the omissions of previous studies, and examined the ability to read 46 single phonograms and 46 single ideograms aloud in four groups of sufficiently large numbers of patients; namely, seven pure alexics, 23 Broca aphasics, 13 Wernicke aphasics, and seven patients with alexia and agraphia.
