  1. BNT = Boston Naming Test54. Scores scaled based on age and years of education; PPVT = Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test55; PALPA = Psycholinguistic Assessments of Language Processing in Aphasia (Kay et al., 1992), PALPA 8 = total score on nonword reading subtest; Western Aphasia Battery- Bedside version53, Content = Spontaneous Speech Content, Fluency = Spontaneous Speech Fluency, Comprehension = Auditory Verbal Comprehension, Commands = Sequential Commands, NT = Not tested,Bedside Aphasia Quotient (WAB-AQ) was determined by summing the Speech Content, Fluency, Auditory Verbal Comprehension, Sequential Commands, Repetition, and Object Naming scores, dividing the sum by 6 and then multiplying the result by 10.
