The Aphasia Screening Test (AST) has held a position in aphasia testing similar to that held by the Wechsler tests in intelligence testing. Both were first developed around 1940, became the most widely adopted tests of their type, and continue to be used in revised form. The AST would ...
The problem does not usually arise with the “easy” items used inaphasia tests. But when items for the “difficult” level are constructed, the separation of what is strictly language and what is intelligence becomes blurred. For example, naming tasks can be advanced to any level of difficult...

It is most common in adults who have had a stroke. Braintumors, infections, injuries, anddementiacan also cause it. Aphasia occurs when parts of the brain that are responsible for language processing are damaged. For most people, these areas are on the left ...
Independent samples t-tests were used for continuous variables, while chi-square tests were employed for categorical variables. TSI was found to be significantly different between the two groups and was therefore included as a covariate in subsequent analyses. Mixed-design analyses of variance (ANOVA...
In this book, Spreen and Risser present a comprehensive, critical review of available methods for the assessment of aphasia and related disorders in adults and children.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Unilateral forced nostril breathing (UFNB), a yogic pranayama technique, improves verbal and spatial cognition in healthy adults. The use of UFNB as an adjunct in aphasia recovery has not been explored. The current study investigated the use and potential benefit of combin...
are nonfluent aphasic patients who appear to have selective problems with abstract words on a variety of standard tests. Such a pattern would normally be interpreted as indicating a central semantic deficit for abstract wor... LK Tyler,HE Moss,F Jennings 被引量: 18发表: 1995年 Developing a ...
We used the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to evaluate within-groups changes and Mann-Whitney U-test for between-groups comparisons. All comparative analyses used two-tailed tests and a standard level of significance (p < .05). Results We aimed to determine the effects of SVC and SAC on naming...
