		Rule	Example
Conversational Questions	6. Why are you here (in the hospital)? What seems to be the trouble?	If patient is unclear about what you are asking you can rephrase the question based on the current context.	“Why did we ask YOU to do this study?”
Picture Description		If patient does not spontaneously begin speaking in sentences, prompt for complete sentences when they have uttered 3–5 single words. Do not give this prompt during the initial instructions.
Object Naming	All	For compound words, only provide tactile then semantic cue (not phonemic); for all other words, only provide tactile then phonemic cue (not semantic). Compound words: safety pin, toothbrush, screwdriver, paper clip, rubber band.
Writing Dictated Words	All	When to cue: If patient writes anything, do not cue; if no response or does not understand task, show object; if still no response or unrecognizable word written, then provide oral spelling. (unrecognizable: limited overlap with target form).
Apraxia	17. Pretend to knock at a door and open it	If patient knocks on a surface, cue them to “pretend” to do it.
Drawing	All	Discontinue each item after 30 s. If you need to prompt patient to make the drawing more complete, the prompt and subsequent changes to the drawing fall within the 30 s. If the patient draws the wrong figure (e.g., circle for square), show stimulus for 10 s and then restart the 30-s timer.
