TI  - Predicting the Western Aphasia Battery Aphasia Quotient.
PG  - 163-6
AB  - Administration of the Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) yields a total score termed 
      the Aphasia Quotient (AQ), which is said to reflect the severity of the spoken 
      language deficit in aphasia. This score is a weighted composite of performance on 
      10 separate WAB subtests. Based on data from 100 patients, all 10 subtests were 
      found to correlate highly with each other and with the AQ, but the score from one 
      subtest, Information Content, was the best predictor of the AQ. Time postonset 
      had no influence on the relationships among the subtests or between the 10 
      subtests and the AQ. These findings are useful in understanding the Western 
      Aphasia Battery and in interpreting the Aphasia Quotient.
