AB  - Studies suggest that individuals with aphasia present with impairments in 
      attention. However, most research has been conducted with small sample sizes 
      using experimental protocols that lack established psychometric properties. We 
      examined the attention performance of 114 individuals with chronic post-stroke 
      aphasia using a standardised, norm-referenced assessment of attention, the 
      Conners' Continuous Performance Test-II (CPT-II; Conners, C. K. (2000). Conners' 
      Continuous Performance Test II. Toronto: Multi-Health Systems Inc). Participants 
      completed the CPT-II and the Western Aphasia Battery-Revised (WAB-R; Kertesz, A. 
      (2007). Western Aphasia Battery-Revised. San Antonio, TX: PsychCorp). As a group, 
      variable performance on selected CPT-II measures was observed. Participants 
      demonstrated impairments on omissions (48.2%) and hit reaction time (67.5%), with 
      11.4% demonstrating atypically slow performance and over half of the sample 
      (56.1%) performing atypically fast. The Confidence Index, a summary score, was 
      also within the impaired range for the majority of participants. However, there 
      were also measures in which a greater percentage of participants demonstrated 
      performance within normal limits. Using the WAB-R Aphasia Quotient (AQ) as a 
      measure of severity, there was significantly worse performance in participants 
      with more severe (AQ < 50) compared to less severe (AQ >/= 50) aphasia. No 
      significant differences in attention were identified between participants with 
      fluent versus non-fluent aphasia. The CPT-II is a feasible measure for persons 
      with aphasia, which may assist in identifying attention performance deficits that 
      potentially affect language.
