Charalambous, Marina; Phylactou, Phivos; Elriz, Thekla; Psychogios, Loukia; Annoni, Jean-Marie; Kambanaros, Maria – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Evidence-based assessments for people with aphasia (PWA) in Greek are predominantly impairment based. Functional communication (FC) is usually underreported and neglected by clinicians. This study explores the adaptation and psychometric testing of the Greek (GR) version of The Scenario Test. The test assesses the everyday FC of PWA in…

Özdemir, Sevket; Mavis, Ilknur; Tunçer, Aylin Müge – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2022
Aphasia assessment is the initial step of a well-structured language therapy. Therefore, it is reasonable to underline that the assessment tools need to consider the typological and cultural characteristics of the language. A group of international researchers in the Collaboration of Aphasia Trialists have been adapting the Comprehensive Aphasia…

Thumbeck, Sarah-Maria; Webster, Janet; Domahs, Frank – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Reading comprehension is frequently impaired in persons with aphasia (PWA). For goal-setting and outcome measurement, speech and language therapists (SLTs) need to determine an individual's perspective of their reading difficulties and everyday reading activities. The Comprehensive Assessment of Reading in Aphasia (CARA) reading…

Fergadiotis, Gerasimos; Casilio, Marianne; Dickey, Michael Walsh; Steel, Stacey; Nicholson, Hannele; Fleegle, Mikala; Swiderski, Alexander; Hula, William D. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Item response theory (IRT) is a modern psychometric framework with several advantageous properties as compared with classical test theory. IRT has been successfully used to model performance on anomia tests in individuals with aphasia; however, all efforts to date have focused on noun production accuracy. The purpose of this study is to…

Purpose: The three variants of primary progressive aphasia (PPA) differ in clinical presentation, underlying brain pathology, and clinical course, which stresses the need for early differentiation. However, brief cognitive tests that validly distinguish between all PPA variants are lacking. The Sydney Language Battery (SYDBAT) is a promising…

Background: Evidence-based recommendations for a core outcome set (COS; minimum set of outcomes) for aphasia treatment research have been developed (the Research Outcome Measurement in Aphasia--ROMA, COS). Five recommended core outcome constructs: communication, language, quality of life, emotional well-being and patient-reported…

Fergadiotis, Gerasimos; Hula, William D.; Swiderski, Alexander M.; Lei, Chia-Ming; Stacey Kellough – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: In this study, we investigated the agreement between the 175-item Philadelphia Naming Test (PNT; Roach, Schwartz, Martin, Grewal, & Brecher, 1996) and a 30-item computer adaptive PNT (PNT-CAT; Fergadiotis, Kellough, & Hula, 2015; Hula, Kellough, & Fergadiotis, 2015) created using item response theory (IRT) methods. Method: The…

Ashaie, Sameer A.; Cherney, Leora R. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Depression assessment is challenging in persons with aphasia given their language impairment. Studies have used both self-report scales and by-proxy measures of depression in persons with aphasia. However, the validity of these measures has been called into question. The aim of this study was to conduct a preliminary investigation into…

Gordon, Jean K.; Clough, Sharice – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Aphasia fluency is multiply determined by underlying impairments in lexical retrieval, grammatical formulation, and speech production. This poses challenges for establishing a reliable and feasible tool to measure fluency in the clinic. We examine the reliability and validity of perceptual ratings and clinical perspectives on the utility…

Laures-Gore, Jacqueline; Rice, Kenneth G. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Clinically accessible and concise measures of acute stress in adults with aphasia are lacking. The current article evaluated some psychometric features of a single-item self-report measure of acute stress in adults with aphasia, the Simple Aphasia Stress Scale. Method: Three archival data sets utilizing varying iterations of a stress…
