Clinical neurolinguistics still lacks consolidated and standardised tools for the assessment of impairments of pragmatics of verbal communication. In the present paper we present norms of the Italian version of the Right Hemisphere Language Battery (Batteria del Linguaggio dell'Emisfero Destro, BaLED) originally devised by Bryan. The normative study has been conducted with the recruitment of 440 healthy subjects. The battery of tests was not intended to be cognitively oriented, by providing evidence of the cognitive impairments underpinning verbal pragmatic deficits; on the contrary, it permits the detection of the presence/absence of impairments in processing the main pragmatic features of verbal communication traditionally associated with right hemisphere lesions. Thus, apart from being a clinical tool for diagnosing pragmatic impairments of verbal communication, the BaLED represents a useful initial battery of tests for clinical assessment and for selecting specific populations of neurological patients suitable for investigation in further experimental studies.
临床神经语言学仍然缺乏用于评估言语交流语用障碍的统一和标准化工具。在本文中，我们展示了最初由布莱恩设计的《右脑语言测试组》（Batteria del Linguaggio dell'Emisfero Destro，BaLED）意大利语版本的常模。该常模研究招募了440名健康受试者。该测试组并非以认知为导向，旨在提供支撑言语语用缺陷的认知障碍证据；相反，它能够检测出在处理传统上与右脑病变相关的言语交流主要语用特征时是否存在障碍。因此，除了作为诊断言语交流语用障碍的临床工具外，BaLED还是用于临床评估以及选择适合进一步实验研究的特定神经科患者群体的有用初始测试组。
