Normative data on the boston diagnostic aphasia examination, parietal lobe battery, and the boston naming Test

Abstract This report describes normative data for the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination, the “Parietal Lobe Battery” (Goodglass & Kaplan, 1972), and the Boston Naming Test (Kaplan, Goodglass, & Weintraub, 1978). These tests were administered to 147 neurologically normal adult males, who were right-handed and native English-speaking. For each age and education group, means, standard deviations, and the range are reported. The lowest score for each group is suggested as a cut-off below which impairment may be suspected. Differences among age and education groups are specified and briefly discussed.
