17This study examined the effects 0/ live voice (LV), tape recorded (TR) and videotape recorded (VTR) presentations on high and low level aphasic subjects' auditory comprehension of abstract and concrete token test commands. Subjects' understanding of Token Test commands was not influenced significantly by mode ofpresentation. The performances of high-comprehension'and low-comprehension aphasic groups was not significantly different. Analysis of weighted token test scores, bur not plus-minus scores, showed subjects to perform significantly better on concrete than abstract token test commands. Clinical implications emerging from the study are I) that the Token Test should probably be delivered by tape recorderto standardize presentation and 2) that the use of recorded stimuli may provide a valuable adjunctive means ofproviding auditory comprehension training for some aphasic clients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
