Panel A. Lesions associated with auditory word recognition and object semantics. Damage to pSTG and temporal pole (TP) is associated with poor performance on the Auditory Word Recognition sub-test of the Western Aphasia Battery.
Panel B, left. A multivariate analysis revealed the lesion location that most accurately predicts WAB Auditory Word Recognition scores, with Pyramids and Palm Trees scores included as a cofactor, is in left pSTG and superior temporal sulcus (STS).
Panel B, right. The same analysis revealed damage to the medial portion of left temporal pole best predicts scores on the Pyramids and Palm Trees test, when WAB Auditory Word Recognition scores are included as cofactor.
