Description

The NAB Auditory Comprehension Test was created to highlight deficits in auditory comprehension. Created to be a comprehensive assessment of auditory comprehension, the measure incorporates most of the previously existing methods of assessment, including asking the examinee to answer questions, point to stimuli, and engage in a paper-folding task. The NAB Auditory Comprehension Test includes six subtests, requiring the examinee to perform various one- to four-step commands; answer questions pertaining to the concepts of before/after, above/below, and right/left; point to and identify body parts; and answer yes/no questions.

The test may be completed in approximately 10-15 minutes, has an equivalent form available, and offers a multi-method approach to assessing auditory comprehension deficits.

The detailed Record Form guides examiners through the measure. The Record Form, tear-off Stimulus Pad, and Panel Cards are all that is necessary for administration, allowing optimal portability and flexibility in a variety of evaluation settings.
Two equivalent, parallel forms allow for ease of retesting and reduce the likelihood of practice effects.
The NAB Auditory Comprehension Test is one of six tests in the NAB Language Module, which serves as a marker of the severity of aphasia and related disorders of language production, comprehension and word-finding.
