Mean reaction times and accuracy for the conflict tasks (lexical decision, Stroop and the non-verbal flanker task) for Pt1 and Pt2 and bilingual controls together with their composite picture description scores in English and the first language, L1, age and Raven scores. Monolingual data for the conflict tasks are reported in the final row. Figures in bold for the participants with aphasia indicate the scores beyond the normal cut-off.
RT = reaction time, M = mean, SD = standard deviation; Normal cut off = 2 SD above the normal mean for RT and conflict ratios and below the normal mean for accuracy. W = word, NW = non-word; N = neutral trial, I = incongruent trial; C = congruent trial; CR = conflict ratio –please see text for descriptions.
