title: Psychometric review of nine aphasia tests.
abstract: Nine aphasia tests are reviewed using six psychometric criteria appropriate to standardized tests. The number of criteria met by individual tests ranged from one to five, with a median and mode of three. A seventh criterion was applied to six tests that used normative data. Two of the six reviewed tests met that criterion. The need for test manuals to contain a wide range of psychometric information is discussed and, in particular, the role of subject description in test standardization is emphasized.
