dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study was to determine if a hierarchy of difficulty exists for yes/no questions. Participants in this study were 8 aphasic subjects (6 men and 2 women) and 8 control subjects (3 men and 5 women), ranging in age from 55 to 72 years. Five categories of yes/no questions were established, digitally recorded into the computer, and then presented randomly via loudspeaker. Data on accuracy of response and response time were recorded by the computer. Statistically significant differences were found between the question types and across experimental groups for accuracy rate and response times. Clinical implications of this study include providing speech-language pathologists a systematic approach to treating auditory comprehension deficits in aphasia.
