Table 2.
Means (medians) ± standard deviations for the group demographics for participants with aphasia (PWA) and control participants and the Western Aphasia Battery–Revised Aphasia Quotient (WAB-R AQ) and subtest scaled scores.
| Variable | PWA | Control |
|---|---|---|
| n | 30 | 18 |
| Age | 62 (64) ± 10 | 63 ± 9 |
| Gender (female) | 3 | 10 |
| Education in year | 15 ± 3 | 16 ± 4 |
| Months postonset | 41 (26) ± 40 | |
| Lesion volume (cm3 ) | 93 (64) ± 74 | |
| AOS severity | 3 (2) ± 2 | |
| PALPA Word Minimal Pairs | 0.8 ± 0.2 | |
| WAB-R AQ | 66.8 (71.6) ± 25 | |
| Spontaneous Speech | 12.8 (14) ± 5 | |
| Content | 7 (8) ± 3 | |
| Fluency | 5.8 (5) ± 3 | |
| Auditory Comprehension | 8.3 (9) ± 2 | |
| Repetition | 6.4 (7) ± 3 | |
| Naming and Word Finding | 7.1 (8) ± 3 |
Note. The groups did not differ significantly for age, U = 225.5, p = .84, or education, U = 285.5, p = .22. There were more females in the control group than in the PWA group, χ2(1, N = 48) = 10, p = .002. AOS = apraxia of speech; PALPA Word Minimal Pairs = Psycholinguistic Assessments of Language Processing in Aphasia Same–Different Discrimination Using Word Minimal Pairs subtest.
