Table 4.

Significant predictors, all χ2(df = 2–4, N = 48) > 16, all ps < .05, FDR-corrected for multiple comparisons, for each of the Western Aphasia Battery–Revised standard scores included PWA characteristics including lesion volume, apraxia of speech (AOS) severity, and age, as well as functional connectivity among regions of interest in the frontal, temporal, and parietal lobes and involving unilateral (right [R], left [L]) and bilateral (B) connections.

Predictor Aphasia Quotient Spontaneous Speech Content Fluency Auditory Comprehension Repetition Naming and Word Finding
Lesion volume Larger lesion = lower score Larger lesion = lower score Larger lesion = lower score Larger lesion = lower score Larger lesion = lower score
AOS severity More severe AOS = lower score More severe AOS = lower score More severe AOS = lower score More severe AOS = lower score
Age Older = better score
Connection location
Frontal L lIFG-lMFG Weaker FC = lower score
Frontotemporal R rpMTG-rIFG Weaker FC = lower score Weaker FC = lower score
Temporal B lFusi-riITG Stronger FC = higher score
Temporoparietal L lAG-lsITG Stronger FC = higher score
Parietal B lAG-rAG Stronger FC = higher score

Note. FC = functional connectivity; l = left; r = right; IFG = inferior frontal gyrus; MFG = middle frontal gyrus; pMTG = posterior middle temporal gyrus; iITG = inferior inferior temporal gyrus; Fusi = fusiform gyrus; AG = angular gyrus; sITG = superior inferior temporal gyrus.
