Selection and Description of Subtests from the QAB that Are Used to Compare with Subtests from the TeleLanguage Test

Phone Assessments (TeleLanguage)	In-Person Assessments (QAB)
Verbal naming	QAB naming: visual naming of 6 colored pictures. (n = 6)
Repetition	QAB repetition: repetition of words (n = 4) and sentences (n = 2) increasing in length.
Semantic selection	QAB semantic nonverbal cognition: Participants were asked to find the picture (1 out of 6) that did not fit on the basis of semantic relationships (only the first 2 series were selected because the other 4 series of odd picture out were based on visual categorization instead of semantic categorization as in the phone test). (n = 2)
Story completion with full sentence	QAB sentence production: The participant needs to describe 2 stimulus cards. “What is happening here?” For example, The boy is pushing the girl. (n = 2)
Sentence completion	QAB-connected speech A conversation with the participant for at least 3 minutes, around 1 or more topics. The following scales were rated on a 0 (mute) to 6 score (normal): paragrammatism, agrammatism, semantic paraphasia, phonemic paraphasia, other lexical access difficulties. These scales were selected to compare with sentence completion from TeleLanguage.

Abbreviation: QAB, quick aphasia battery.
