title: Reliability of the 36-item version of the Token Test in patients with poststroke aphasia.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study was to investigate the intra- and inter-rater reliability of the 36-item version of the Token Test.
  
  
  METHODS
  Twenty-four people following stroke with mild disorder of language comprehension were assessed by two speech therapists at a distance of 2  days apart.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The test showed excellent and good inter-rater reliability, while some parts had lower coefficients.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  This version of the Token Test can be used to assess mild disorder of oral language comprehension. However, further clearer instructions for administration and scoring may improve the test reliability.
