Table 2: Distribution of paraphasia types by task.

The CS (connected speech) and PNT (naming) task groups are shown on the left. The CS+PNT subgroup, comprised of individuals who had both a connected speech and naming assessment, is shown on the right. Recall that the percentage of paraphasias was calculated a proportion of total nouns for the connected speech task and as a proportion of total overt attempts for the naming task. Significant difference between the distributions of paraphasias during connected speech and naming was calculated only for the CS+PNT subgroup, as this was a direct comparison between individuals who completed both tasks.
