Abstract:
ObjectiveTo evaluate the value of Token Test in testing Chinese aphasia and study the mechanism of bilateral hemispheric asymmetry.Methods33 patients with left hemispheric cerebral vascular diseases and 30 patients with right hemispheric cerebral vascular diseases were studied by Token Test and Aphasia Battery of Chinese(ABC). ResultsThe statistical analysis shows that the score of Token Test was significantly correlated with all tests of ABC in both left and right hemispheric damages groups(P<0.01), and that the score of Token Test was significantly negative correlated with infarction areas in left hemispheric damages groups (P<0.01),but incorrelated with infarction areas in right hemispheric damages groups(P>0.05). There is a significant correlation between the score of Token Test and the severity of the aphasia(P<0.01). Conclusions Token Test was closely related with ABC. It can be effective to detect some higher neuropsychological function disorder.
