TABLE 2.

Descriptive data (M, SD, range) on comprehension measures

	RHD (N=32)
^*DCT-Total accuracy (maximum =40)	33.84 (3.26)	Range 27–39
^*DCT-Implied question accuracy (maximum =20)	16.00 (2.21)	Range 12–20
^*High-level inference Joke accuracy (maximum =18)	9.47 (3.20)	Range 4–17
High-level inference Lie accuracy (maximum =18)	15.12 (2.43)	Range 10–18

RHD = right-hemisphere-damaged. DCT = Discourse Comprehension Test (Brookshire & Nicholas, 1983).

RHD data are significantly lower than those of a matched, non-brain-damaged control group, reported in Tompkins et al. (2008c).
