Article Title：Sentence completion test in combat veterans with and without PTSD: preliminary findings

Abstract：
This study used a sentence completion task to assess semantic choice in combat veterans. Twenty-eight combat veterans with (n = 14) and without (n = 14) posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) filled in the final word for 33 incomplete sentences after receiving a combat prime. The veterans with PTSD completed sentences with significantly more trauma-relevant final words than those without PTSD. Findings are interpreted with respect to current language models and information-processing theories of PTSD. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
