Abstract: Objective To establish the Cookie Theft Test for Chinese norms. Methods 29 normal participants and 17 patients with stroke finished the Cookie Theft Test. The language samples were analyzed in 7 different indexes which are incorrect statement (IS), dysfluencies (DF), providing structure support (PS), repetitions (RP), content units (CU), elaborations of content units (EC) and irrelevancies (IR). Besides, the total words of language samples were counted. The scores of normal participants in 8 indexes were regarded as norms. And the scores of patients in 8 indexes were used to test the validity of the norms. Results The test-retest reliability was r(IS)=0.92, r(DF)=0.89, r(PS)= 0.98, r(RP)=0.84, r(CU)=0.96, r(EC)=0.88 and r(IR)=0.99, respectively. 12 out of 17 patients were distinguished by the norms. Conclusion The norms of Cookie Theft have acceptable reliability and validity and can be applied to clinical diagnoses and scientific researches
