Patients with left stroke (n = 17), right stroke (n = 16), and dementia (n = 17) and healthy controls (n = 15) were asked to recognize familiar handwriting among 10 handwritten texts. All healthy controls and 96% of the left-brain-damaged patients were able to recognize the familiar handwriting, but only 44% of the right-brain-damaged and 41% of the dementia patients (none if Mini-Mental Status Test score was < 18, n = 5) were able to do so. The authors conclude that the recognition of handwriting is a special skill that is independent of other verbal and lexical tasks.
