Researchers applied controlled perturbations (layer-targeted noise) to LLaVA 1.6 and found that the resulting error distributions in picture-naming tasks closely match those of 278 persons with post-stroke aphasia on the Philadelphia Naming Test. Six of seven clinical error categories emerged at clinically comparable proportions, and perturbation configurations reproducing individual patient error profiles were found for 97.8% of participants across six categories and 79.5% across all seven. Monte Carlo baselines confirm the matching reflects genuine joint inter-category structure rather than chance. The work proposes language models as 'digital twins' for aphasia simulation and opens a quantitative framework for clinical cognitive modeling.
