Note. AQ = Western Aphasia Battery Aphasia Quotient score out of 100 (Kertesz, 1982). WAB subtests have a maximum score of 10. Subtype = aphasia subtype as determined by the WAB where A = anomic and TCM = transcortical motor. Picture naming = Percentage of correct responses on a test of oral picture naming (Philadelphia Naming Test; Roach et al., 1996). Word repetition = A test of immediate word repetition, in percentages (Philadelphia Repetition Test; Mirman et al., 2010). Nonword repetition = A test of immediate repetition of nonwords, in percentages (Philadelphia Nonword Repetition Test; Mirman et al., 2010). STM span = test of verbal short term memory where participants repeat lists of words of increasing lengths; max score = 5 (Martin et al., 1994). Nonverbal comprehension = A picture-picture association test for nonverbal semantic comprehension, in percentages (Pyramids and Palm Trees Test; Howard & Patterson, 1992).

a

Average performance for neurotypical control sample.

b

Scores below cutoff indicate clinically significant impairment.
