Abstract: This study was designed to assess the test-retest reliability of three aphasia tests. The Auditory Comprehension Test for Sentences (ACTS), the Boston Naming Test (BNT), and the Reading Comprehension Battery for Aphasia (RCBA) were administered on two separate occasions to 31 non-brain-damaged adults aged 50 to 76 years. The results showed acceptable score stability for all three aphasia tests. Sixty-eight percent of the time, older non-brain-damaged adults would be expected to score within 4.0% or less of the total number of test items on repeated testing.
