Current Study Study Aims: 1. Examine relationship between scores on measures of language impairment and functional communication at a single time point 2. Examine the relationship in treatment-induced change scores on the same instruments Experiment 1: Participants Age vs. Time Post-Onset of Aphasia Experiment 1 Participants: n = 72 Mean age: 60.9 yrs Mean time postonset: 4.7 yrs Time Post-Onset (in years) 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 0 20 40 60 Age (in years) 80 100 Experiment 1: Instruments and Scores Lowest Scores Highest Scores Experiment 1: Instruments and Scores Lowest Scores Highest Scores Experiment 1: Instruments and Scores Lowest Scores Highest Scores Experiment 1: Instruments and Scores Lowest Scores Highest Scores Experiment 1: Instruments and Scores Lowest Scores Highest Scores Experiment 1: Results Correlations between ASHA FACS Communication Independence scores and measures of cognitive-linguistic ability Social Communication Basic Needs Reading, Writing & Number Concepts Daily Planning Overall Communication Independence n = 72 WAB-LQ .789*** .525*** .787*** .740*** .829*** WAB-CQ .802*** .518*** .773*** .742*** .822*** WAB-AQ .782*** .393** .688*** .650*** .736*** CLQT: Attention .351** .239 (p = .054) .575*** .612*** .576*** CLQT: Memory .743*** .464*** .721*** .693*** .780*** CLQT: Executive Functions .379** .326** .615*** .646*** .617*** CLQT: Language .758*** .441*** .722*** .704*** .786*** CLQT: Visuospatial .243 (p = .050) .211 (p = .089) .484*** .537*** .480*** CLQT: Composite .621*** .387** .782*** .775*** .797*** CLQT: Clock Drawing .560*** .437*** .646*** .655*** .692*** BNT .679*** .367** .651*** .681*** .726*** PAPT .543*** .415*** .605*** .640*** .659*** * = p significant at < .05 ** = p significant at < .01 *** = p significant at < .001 Correlation Strength: Green = Strong (1.00 - .700);
