Note. Em dashes indicate data not reported. dx = diagnosis; AOS = apraxia of speech; Dys = dysarthria; lvPPA = logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia; MSI+ = motor-speech–impaired group of individuals with nfvPPA, PPAOS, CBS, or PSP and suspected four-repeat tauopathy pathology; PPAOS = primary progressive apraxia of speech; MSI− = non–motor-speech-impaired group of individuals with logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia; nfvPPA = nonfluent variant primary progressive aphasia; CBS = corticobasal syndrome; PSP = progressive supranuclear palsy.

a

Predominant impairment based on quantitative speech measures, rated for the MSI+ group only. Predominance determined from a ratio of mean |z|, AOS features to mean |z|, dysarthria features. AOS + (|z|AOS > |z|dys) indicates predominant apraxic impairment; Dys + (|z|dys > |z|AOS) indicates predominant dysarthric impairment.
