The new cognitive neurosciences. Aphasia is an acquired impairment of language that affects comprehension and production of words, sentences, and/or discourse. The Quick Aphasia Battery (QAB) aims to provide a reliable and multidimensional assessment of language function in about a quarter of an hour, bridging the gap between comprehensive batteries that are time-consuming to administer, and rapid screening instruments that provide limited detail regarding individual profiles of deficits.
