Aphasia Evaluation (BAE) was designed to detect the basic resources of verbal communication in the aphasic patient, so as to begin, after that, with a more complete and better organized neuropsychological or language
Background: Deep dysphasia is a relatively rare subcategory of aphasia, characterised by word repetition impairment and a profound auditory-verbal short-term memory (STM) limitation. Repetition of words is better than nonwords (lexicality effect) and better for high-image than low-image words (imageability effect).
