Corpus Description

The Quick Aphasia Battery (QAB; Wilson et al., 2018) was administered to 16 individuals with chronic post-stroke aphasia, 3 times each, and scored independently by 2 raters to establish test-retest and inter-rater reliability. The Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) was also administered to these patients to assess concurrent validity of the QAB. For more information about the QAB, please see our website.
