摘要：The Western Aphasia Battery-Revised (WAB-R; Kertesz, 2006) is one of the most widely-usedstandardized assessment tools in countries with English speakers. The Tagalog version of the WABR (T-WAB-R; Ozaeta & Kong, 2012), was developed to provide a comprehensive evaluation oflanguage skills in Tagalog. Through normative data obtained from 36 native speakers of Tagalog,stratified into three age ages (20-40, 41-60, and 61+ years) and two educational levels (below 16years and 16+ years), a basis for comparison was created. Concurrent validity of the T-WAB-R wasdemonstrated by positive and significant correlations between similar subtests of the Tagalog versionof the Bilingual Aphasia Test (BAT; Paradis & Del Pilar, 1991). Inter-rater reliability demonstratedmoderate consistency (i.e., mean Spearman coefficient of 0.904 across the T-WAB-R sub-tests);while intra-rater reliability was found to be of high consistency (mean Pearson’s coefficient of1.000).
