Abstract: ObjectiveComputation of a prearticulatory phonological representation (phonological access, or phonological retrieval) is an essential process in speech production whose neural localization is not clear. This study combined a specific behavioral measure of phonological access and multivariate voxel‐based lesion‐symptom mapping (VLSM) in a series of left hemisphere stroke patients to identify brain regions critical for this process.MethodsPhonological access was assessed in 40 chronic ischemic stroke patients using a silent rhyming task to a...
