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.
(3) Information on DNA content and banding patterns has been utilized in the construction of a novel ideogram of the human complement.
(4) To interpret the traces we designed an ideogram which gathered the plethysmographic behavior before and after the treatment.
(5) Band-pattern measurements were used to construct ideograms which represent the position, number, size and staining intensity of the chromosome bands.
(6) Past case reports as well as some widely accepted handbooks and textbooks have concluded that a specific aphasia type or lesion site is associated with a particular impairment pattern of phonograms and ideograms in reading.
(7) However, ideogram reading was more difficult in three cases in the pure alexia and Broca aphasia groups, respectively, and in one case in the Wernicke aphasia group.
(8) Kanji (ideogram or morphogram) can be compared with orthographically irregular or ambiguous words in some European languages, since it is impossible to write Kanji characters unless each one of them is learned and memorized.
(9) It was found that ideogram reading in control children is rather slow to develop, with only 7 and 8 year old subjects performing like normal adults; this is in contrast to other reading-related cognitive tasks in which normal performance develops earlier.
(10) Correspondence between certain features of this ideogram and the clinical record of human autosomal imbalance supports the idea that banding patterns reflect structural as well as functional heterogeneity of chromosomes.
(11) We propose that the right hemisphere in some individuals may be capable of extracting semantic information from iconic images (ideogram) without phonological processing.
(12) Information from phonogram words in the right hemisphere is probably less transferred to the left hemisphere than that from ideogram words.
(13) The contrast becomes obvious when both are compared in Japanese writing based on the dual writing system of kanji (Chinese characters, ideogram) and kana (phonetic characters, syllabogram).
(14) The patient was 76% correct in Japanese phonogram words and 92% correct in ideogram words in an interfield same-different judgment, that is, judging whether 2 one-letter words, one in the left hemifield and the other in the right, were the same or different.
(15) Using human prophase chromosome ideograms at the 850-band stage, we previously demonstrated that the 24 prophase ideograms can be divided into a set of 94 unique band sequences, each having a recognizable banding pattern distinct from other nonhomologous chromosome portions.
(16) While adults with acquired alexia have associated defects in ideogram reading, all of the dyslexic children performed at normal adult levels.
(17) The agraphia of this patient showed the following features: (1) His writing difficulty was greater for Kana than for Kanji (ideogram) when a word was polysyllabic.
(18) High-resolution lymphoma cell chromosomes are described, and chromosome rearrangements carried in the cell line are characterized by ideograms representing the position, number, size, and relative staining intensity of the G-band patterns.
(19) Five different flavors of euchromatic metaphase bands are cytologically identified along a human ideogram.
(20) This study was concerned with the ideogram reading performances of groups of reading disabled and normal children.
Logogram
Definition:
(n.) A word letter; a phonogram, that, for the sake of brevity, represents a word; as, |, i. e., t, for it. Cf. Grammalogue.
