Note. For MSE Apraxia and Dysarthria Ratings: 0 indicates no impairment present; severity ratings range from 1 (minimal) to 7 (profound). Dashes indicate no normative data available. MMSE = Mini-Mental State Examination (Folstein et al., 1975); WAB-R = Western Aphasia Battery–Revised (Kertesz, 2007); CDR = Clinical Dementia Rating (Morris, 1993); GDS = Geriatric Depression Scale (Yesavage & Sheikh, 1986); CVLT = California Verbal Learning Test (Delis et al., 1987); VOSP = Visual Object and Space Perception (Warrington & James, 1991); MSE = Motor Speech Exam (Wertz, LaPointe, & Rosenbek, 1984); Bayles = Bayles Repetition Test (Bayles et al., 1996).
Normative data are derived from:
Crum et al. (1993) for individuals 45-49 years of age with college experience or higher.
