MacWhinney, B., Fromm, D., Forbes, M. & Holland, A. (2011). AphasiaBank: Methods for studying discourse. Aphasiology, 25,1286-1307.
Discourse samples were collected from a 66-year old female participant (DOB March 21, 1950) with semantic PPA. She was a participant in the aphasia group program at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. She was diagnosed with PPA by a neurologist in 2013, and reported worsening symptoms in 2015. Prior to the diagnosis, she had worked as a high school math teacher. The samples were collected by a graduate student clinician. The first sample (November 2016) is audio only, the second sample (January 2017) is video. WAB-R AQ test results (see below) were consistent with Anomic aphasia at both times.
Both data sets include these discourse tasks (from the AphasiaBank discourse protocol):
Section I: Free Speech Samples
a. Stroke story and coping
b. Important event
Section II: Picture Descriptions
a. Broken window
b. Refused umbrella
c. Cat rescue
Section III: Story Narrative
a. Cinderella story
