TH is tetraplegic and speech impaired. Although some studies show brain impairment among speech impaired could be associated with a decrease in the intellectual level, the findings of the experiments show that he has a cognitive performance in many aspects very similar to the control group. This study stresses, particularly, the way TH represents the graphic material, how he puts together objects and events within categories, how he accomplishes deductive and inductive reasoning, how he makes inferences about the mental state of other people and how he stores in memory information received minutes earlier.
