Aphasia rehabilitation and the strange neglect of speed (2004)
Journal Article
Crerar, A. (2004). Aphasia rehabilitation and the strange neglect of speed. Neuropsychological Rehabilitation, 14(1-2), 173-206. https://doi.org/10.1080/09602010343000174

Timing data is infrequently reported in aphasiological literature and time taken is only a minor factor, where it is considered at all, in existing aphasia assessments. This is not surprising because reaction times are difficult to obtain manually, b... Read More about Aphasia rehabilitation and the strange neglect of speed.
