Parameter estimates, (standard errors), z-values, and p-values of fixed-effect terms in the statistical models of L1 and L2 naming accuracy for bilingual persons with aphasia. All statistically significant results are marked in bold. p-values were estimated using the ‘lmerTest’ package in R (Kuznetsova et al., 2017).
p < .05
p < .01
p < .001.
L1 = first-acquired language; L2 = second-acquired language; BPWA = bilingual persons with aphasia; WAB-R = Western Aphasia Battery – Revised; AQ = Aphasia Quotient; SE = standard error.
