“…All transcripts had previously been scored by the authors for main concept production using the Richardson and Dalton checklists. 6,64 They were scored for CoreLex production according to the checklists reported by Dalton and Richardson 65 and Dalton et al 68 Discourse sample lengths for efficiency calculations were retrieved using the EVAL tool in the Computerized Language ANalysis (CLAN) software available through AphasiaBank.…”

“…This issue includes a tutorial on CoreLex 51 which reviews how core lexicons are developed and might be applied by clinicians, and a compendium of CoreLex checklists for various stimuli. 68 CoreLex is scored by assigning one point for each checklist item produced by a participant. Synonyms of CoreLex items are not given points, but inflected CoreLex items are.…”

Measurement of communication ability at the discourse level holds promise for predicting how well persons with stable (e.g., stroke-induced), or progressive aphasia navigate everyday communicative interactions. However, barriers to the clinical utilization of discourse measures have persisted. Recent advancements in the standardization of elicitation protocols and the existence of large databases for development of normative references have begun to address some of these barriers. Still, time remains a consistently reported barrier by clinicians. Non-transcription based discourse measurement would reduce the time required for discourse analysis, making clinical utilization a reality. The purpose of this article is to present evidence regarding discourse measures (main concept analysis, core lexicon, and derived efficiency scores) that are well suited to non-transcription based analysis. Combined with previous research, our results suggest that these measures are sensitive to changes following stroke or neurodegenerative disease. Given the evidence, further research specifically assessing the reliability of these measures in clinical implementation is warranted.

Evidence suggests that discourse-level assessment in aphasia should be implemented within clinical settings. However, existing discourse measures that are time and labor intensive in process prevent speech-language pathologists from applying such measures to their clinical practices. This article provides an overview of a lexicon-based analysis (core lexicon measure) that recently was developed and investigated for clinical usability. A new approach to core lexicon measures provides a simple scoring method with short instructions, which may be practical and time efficient for assessment and management of persons with aphasia. The article concludes with suggestions for clinical application and implementation.

“…In fact, this issue features several articles on the use of core lexicons and their application to aphasia, extending the scope of earlier work that examined the top 10 nouns and verbs in participants' responses to the procedural discourse and Cinderella story telling tasks from the AphasiaBank discourse protocol (see articles by Dalton et al and Kim et al in this issue). [23][24][25][26][27] Dalton and Richardson analyzed responses to the Broken Window picture description task from the AphasiaBank discourse protocol. 7 They created a core lexicon (CoreLex) list of the 24 unique lemmas (word roots, such as "run" for "runs," "running" and "ran") used by at least 50% of the normative sample (92 control participants).…”

AphasiaBank is a shared, multimedia database for the study of communication in aphasia. This article describes a variety of discourse measurement tools and teaching resources available at the AphasiaBank website. The discourse measurement tools include main concept analysis, core lexicon checklists, correct information unit computation techniques, and other automated analyses using the CLAN program. These tools can be used to measure a variety of aspects of language production for assessment as well as treatment evaluation and clinical research purposes. Importantly, they are intended to help make the discourse analysis process more efficient and reliable. Teaching resources include an online tutorial on aphasia, videos of typical behaviors seen in aphasia, group treatment videos, classroom activities, tutorial screencasts, and conference posters. These resources can be used for a variety of clinical and educational purposes. The AphasiaBank website is part of the larger TalkBank project which provides many other shared databases and resources that are relevant to professionals interested in communication and communication disorders.
