Table 4.

Mean percent correct for Broca’s patients and age-matched controls for canonical and non-canonical sentence structures of the SOAPs assessment at both regular and slowed rates of speech^a

	Canonical sentence structure			Non-canonical sentence structure
	Regular		Slow rate	Regular rate		Slow rate
Broca’s patients (n = 8)	81%	↔	80%ns	61%		71%*
(Standard error)	(8.3)		(7.1)	(11.3)		(9.9)
Age-matched controls (n = 10)	98%	↔	99%ns	99%		97%*
(Standard error)	(1.1)		(0.67)	(0.67)		(1.1)

^aBidirectional solid arrows indicate non-significant effects in the comparison of performance at regular vs. slow rate of speech. Unidirectional dashed arrows indicate significant effects in the comparison of performance at regular vs. slow rate of speech, pointing in the direction of better performance.
