pros/cons? |
Strengths:
- Alt ways to elicit speech - Range of difficulty w/in tasks - Sufficient # of items - Extended testing probes - Short form Limitations: - Not exhaustive - Doesn't always provide diagnosis - Doesn't provide therapeutic approach |
|
What is the BDAE?
|
(Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Exam)
Comprehensive Assessment: (percentiles) - Speech production (convo, pic description, narrative discourse); Oral expression (non-/verbal agility automatics, melody, repetition, naming - Aud Comprehension (word, sent level) - Praxis: natural, conventional, pretend, vegetative - Reading - Writing |
|
What is the Minnesota Test for Differential Diagnosis of Aphasia-II?
|
Provides operational of aphasia; objective method for evaluating changes resulting from treatment
- 7 types of Aphasia (categories): |
|
What is the CADL?
|
(Communication Activities of Daily Living)
Assess the communicative abilities of individuals with aphasia in their NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS! Tests: Reading Writing Using numbers Social interactions Contextual Communication Nonverbal communication Humor, metaphor, absurdity |
|
What is the PICA?
|
Porch Index of Communication Abilities
- Designed to provide an istrument that was sensitive to change so as to measure the effects of tx, drugs, surgery, time, and myriad of other variables of communication - Helps makes a prediction of eventual recovery based on pt's performance - 18 subtests (verbal output, auditory comprehension, visual comprehension, writing, copying, reading, pantomime/gesture) Pros- very sensitive to change; normative data; extensive mulitdimensional scoring system Cons- Training is long (40 hours); Does not classify aphasia into classic aphasia syndrome categories; Short version has different results; Education level may influence performance |
|
What is the BDAE?
|
Primary focuses on diagnosis of classic atomically-based aphasia syndromes; Has 27 subtests (fluency, comp, artic, naming, reading/writing, repetition, singing/rhythm, spatial perception, math skills);Includes COOKIE-THEFT pic
Pros- standardized test; Differential diagnosis of aphasia/assigned classic categories; Analysis of functional communication Cons- Presumes that aphasias are anatomically based and therefore it may not accommodate individuals who are exhibit IDIOSYNCRATIC symptoms relative to lesion sites |
|
What is the WAB?
|
Western Aphasia Battery- shorter & psychometrically more sophisticated than BDAE
- Scores produced aphasia quotient (severity of language impairment), language quotient (overall lang abilities), cortical quotient (cognitive impairment) Pros- Tests Apraxia, construction, visuospatial & calculation; normative data; Tests functional communication; May classify dementias, TBIs, & RHD Cons- Accuracy is questioned (clinicians judgements don't always match); It doesn't always agree with BDAE results |
|
What is the MTDDA?
|
Minnesota Test for Differential Diagnosis of Aphasia- Believes that all aphasia disorders involve unitary loss of language that may vary in severity & may be accompanied by other disorders
- Identifies 5 types of syndromes (simple aphasia, aphasia w/ visual involvement, aphasia w/ sensorimotor involvement, aphasia w/ generalized brain damage, & irreversible aphasia syndrome) Pros- Most comprehensive assessments; Provides reliable info which tx can be guided; can individualized the assessment based on pt Cons- has NO interpretive devices for differentiating among aphasic language disorders; Takes a long time; Its an old test |
|
What is the ADP?
|
Aphasia Diagnostic Profiles- Based on BDAE, aphasic severity profile, alternate communication profile, error profile, & behavioral profile; Normed data; 9 subtests (fluency, speech content, naming, aud/reading comp, repetition, gesturing, singing, writing)
|
|
What is the PALPA?
|
Pyscholinguistic Assessment of Language Processing in Aphasia- theory-based devised to evaluate the mind's language system through analysis to make inferences about where the pt breaks down in linguistic processing; 60 subtests (aud comp, reading/spelling, word/pic semantics, sentence comp)
Pros- May help to guide tx targeted to specific mental processes Cons- No normative data; must be experienced |
|
What is the NCCEA?
|
Neurosensory Center Comprehensive Exam for Aphasia- Comprehensive assessment of language function (not guided by a preconceived theoretical interpretation of aphasia); 20 subtests (lang comp/production, reading/writing, visual/tactile processing)
- Lang comp is similar to original Token Test Pros- Normed; Age/education influence results; Visual/tactile processing is examined Cons- Doesn't recognize subtle disorders; Old test |
|

|
What are some tests for auditory comp? (5)
|
1. Token Test
2. ACTS (Auditory Comprehension Test for Sentences): examines vocab, sentence length, grammatical complexity on sentence comp; good for MILD aphasics 3.

Pyramids and Palm Trees: Pyscholinguistic- seeks to breakdown site in language processing |
