title: The Reitan-Indiana Aphasia Screening Test: scoring and factor analysis.
abstract: This article presents a scoring system and factor analysis for the Reitan-Indiana Aphasia Screening Test. Eight content categories were clinically identified and scored (N = 197). Also, the interrelationships of these content areas were explored by factor analysis. The analysis revealed two major factors, a general language abilities factor and a sensorimotor coordination factor. The pattern of loadings was interpreted with reference to hypothesized relationships and previous research on the test. The findings also have implications for the clinical interpretation of test results.
