The aim of this study is to test the validity and reliability of the Bilingual Aphasia Test as a measure of language impairment in a Greek-speaking Broca's aphasic population and to investigate relationships with the same aphasic group's performance on the Greek version of the short form of the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination battery, mainly focusing on a series of subtests which are shared by the two batteries, yet occasionally differ in content. Correlation analyses showed that the two instruments yielded highly comparable results with respect to the measurement of reading and listening comprehension, as well as in the performance-based measurement of the automated sequence capacity of the patients. Nevertheless, the Bilingual Aphasia Test, as a more extensive battery, proved to be more sensitive and objective in characterizing the patients' language abilities in a number of individual language functions, including commands, sentence repetition, naming, verbal fluency and syntactic comprehension.
本研究的目的是检验双语失语症测试作为一种测量讲希腊语的布罗卡失语症患者语言损伤的工具的有效性和可靠性，并调查同一失语症群体在希腊语版波士顿诊断失语症检查简表上的表现之间的关系，主要关注两个测试中共同的一系列子测试，但内容偶尔有所不同。相关性分析表明，在阅读和听力理解的测量方面，以及在基于表现的患者自动序列能力测量方面，这两种工具产生了高度可比的结果。然而，双语失语症测试作为一个更广泛的测试，在描述患者在包括指令、句子重复、命名、言语流畅性和句法理解等多种个体语言功能方面的语言能力时，被证明更加敏感和客观。
