[The effect of aphasia and organic brain damage on the variability of the results of "Token" test].
The aphasia and psychoorganic syndrome variables were taken into consideration when analysing the Token test results: 78 patients with aphasia and 150 patients with organic brain damage without aphasia were investigated. The aphasic group were subdivided into 6 categories according to language communication abilities. The patients group with brain damage without aphasia were subdivided into 4 categories according to the stage of psychoorganic syndrome. On the basis of mathematical analysis we consider that aphasia was responsible for about 65% of variability results in the Token test, psychoorganic syndrome-for 10%. The rest 25% was not connected with these two variabilities, and we could not find any explanation for this. The results mentioned above show the high specificity of the Token test for aphasia.
