Enumerate about the Reitan Aphasia Screening Test

This test serves two purposes in that it contains both copying and language-related tasks. As an Aphasia screening procedure, it provides a brief survey of the major language functions: naming, repetition, spelling, reading, writing, calculation, narrative speech, and right-left orientation. The copying task involves having the subject copy a square, Greek cross, triangle, and key. The first three items must each be drawn in one continuous line. The language section may be scored by listing the number of aphasic symptoms or by using the quantitative system developed by Russel and co- workers. The drawings are either not formally scored are rated through a matching to model system also provided by Russel and Colleagues.
