Wimes K The Aachen Aphasia Test (AA T), originally developed as a test for aphasia language disorders
in Germany, consists of six spontaneous speech rating scales and five subtests : Token
Test, Repetition, Written Language, Confronting Naming and Comprehension. The study aimed
to describe the linguistic properties of the AAT Thai version and to investigate the test performances
of the normal subjects. In this study some problems of linguistic changes in the construction
of the Thai version were discussed. The results revealed that the normal subjects' performances
on the test were independent of age, sex and education level. Therefore, the Thai version
of AAT is applicable to the differential diagnosis of the communicative ablities of Thai aphasic
patients.
