Abstract:
The Sentence Repetition test (SR) has been used to assess aphasic and other patients in neuropsychological settings. SR has been shown to be reliable and valid, as well as sensitive to patients with brain injury. This study was conducted to update the normative data for the SR. Sensitivity and specificity tests of the SR using the new normative data was also conducted. The findings suggest that SR is sensitive to specific brain dysfunction that affects the ability to repeat sentences as well as attention and concentration. The new normative data show that the ability to repeat sentences is not influenced by age, but education appears to be a significant factor in SR performance. In a clinical group, a reduction of SR performance was related to length of unconsciousness and was more impaired for patients with left-hemisphere injury. Good specificity and sensitivity were found. The findings of this study confirm that with new norms, SR continues to be a useful tool for neuropsychological assessment.
