Abstract	A metaphor comprehension task was administered to 15 healthy adults (control group), 15 right-hemisphere-damaged patients without communication disorders (RHDgroup), 15 right-hemisphere-damaged patients with communication disorders (RHD+ group), and 15 left-hemisphere-damaged aphasic patients (aphasic group). We selected 30 similes. All of them were of low familiarity, requiring effort to understand their meaning (e.g. “Roads are like blood vessels.”). With each question, the examiner read aloud the metaphor sentence, and the respondent was asked to choose a written statement that best represented its meaning from among four choices. In addition, all the subjects were asked to perform a metaphor description task (they were asked to explain the meaning of the same metaphors) and the Token Test (TT). The results showed that the scores of the metaphor comprehension task and TT in the RHDgroup were not significantly different from those in 倉敷平成病院リハビリテーション部言語聴覚科1):〒710-0826 岡山県倉敷市老松町 4 丁目 3-38 岡山県立大学大学院保健福祉学研究科2):〒719-1197 岡山県総社市窪木 111 川崎医療福祉大学医療技術学部感覚矯正学科3):〒701-0193 岡山県倉敷市松島 288 1) Department of Rehabilitation, Kurashiki Heisei Hospital: 4-3-38 Oimatsu, Kurashiki, Okayama 710-0826, Japan 2) Graduate School of Health and Welfare Science, Okayama Prefectural University: 111 Kuboki, Soja, Okayama 719-1197, Japan 3) Department of Sensory Science, Faculty of Medical Profession, Kawasaki University of Medical Welfare: 288 Matsushima, Kurashiki, Okayama 701-0193, Japan 2015 年 4 月 13 日受稿 2015 年 7 月 10 日受理
