描述了西方失语成套测验(WAB)的信度和效度特征。高内部一致性测量和高重测信度证明了测试的稳定性，因为它的部分对综合指数有贡献，而且因为它的时间可靠性。裁判间和裁判内的可靠性很高，这表明得分者内部和之间的得分一致。WAB满足表面和内容有效性标准。WAB和神经感觉中心失语症综合检查(NCCEA)的结果相关，表明结构效度良好。WAB AQ[失语症商数]得分与瑞文S有色递进矩阵得分显著相关，提示WAB的语言部分并不完全独立于非语言功能。WAB AQ得分在失语症和对照组之间有可靠的区分，高功能命名性失语受试者的WAB AQ得分仅有少量重叠。
The reliability and validity characteristics of the Western Aphasia Battery (WAB) are described. High internal consistency measures and high test-retest reliability argue for stability of the test because its parts contribute to the composite index and because of its temporal reliability. Inter- and intrajudge reliability are high, suggesting consistent scoring within and between scorers. The WAB satisfies face- and content-validity criteria. Results from the WAB and the Neurosensory Center Comprehensive Examination for Aphasia (NCCEA) correlate, indicating good construct validity. WAB AQ [aphasia quotient] scores and Raven''s Colored Progressive Matrices scores significantly correlate, suggesting that the language portions of the WAB are not totally independent from nonverbal functioning. WAB AQ scores reliably differentiate between aphasic and control groups, with only a small overlap for high functioning anomic aphasic subjects.
