aLow fluency with minimal words produced on a cookie theft task (Goodglass and Kaplan, 1983).
BDAE = Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination (Goodglass and Kaplan, 1983).
BDAE Comprehension percentile is derived from three subtests (word discrimination, commands, complex ideational material). Cambridge comprehension refers to an average percentage score on spoken word-to-picture matching tasks found in the Cambridge Semantic Battery (Bozeat et al., 2000) and the environmental sounds task (Bozeat et al., 2003). BDAE fluency percentile is derived from phrase length, melodic line and grammatical form ratings. BDAE Repetition percentile is an average of word and sentence repetition subtests. Word/non-word repetition = Tests 8 and 9 from Psycholinguistic Assessments of Language Processing in Aphasia: PALPA (Kay et al., 1992). Aphasia classifications were based on fluency, repetition and comprehension. TSA (transcortical sensory aphasia) was defined as good or intermediate fluency/repetition and poorer comprehension. Wernicke’s aphasia (WA) was defined as relatively fluent speech with poor repetition and comprehension. NT = not tested.
