摘要：Word retrieval deficits are commonly seen in aphasia following stroke. Past studies have reportedimpaired noun comprehension and/or production in fluent aphasia while difficulty in verbcomprehension and/or production has been found in nonfluent aphasia. However limited studieshave been done on the naming abilities of Malay-speakers with aphasia.Aim: This study examined the verb and noun production and comprehension abilities in individualswith aphasia using the Malay Object and Action Test (MOAT), which is a newly developed prototypetest whose purpose is to identify the word retrieval deficits and explicate the nature of the difficultiesamong Malay-speaking adults with aphasia. A classification of error type patterns will be produced.
