+# Text Aphasia Battery (TAB)
+
+The **Text Aphasia Battery (TAB)** is a modified subset of the [Quick Aphasia Battery (QAB)](https://aphasialab.org/qab/) designed to assess aphasic symptoms in environments where input and output modalities are restricted to text. TAB is especially useful for large-scale identification of aphasic features in applications such as corpus studies and evaluations of large language models (LLMs). **Note:** TAB is not a replacement for the QAB or other clinical diagnostic tools.
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+TAB consists of **four subtests** that evaluate different aspects of language function:
+
+1. **Connected Text**
+2. **Word Comprehension**
+3. **Sentence Comprehension**
+4. **Repetition**
+
+Each subtest comes with specific instructions and scoring criteria, aimed at detecting various aphasic markers.
+
+---
+
+## Subtests
+
+### 1. Connected Text
+
+- **Objective:**  
+  Evaluate fluency, grammaticality, and coherence of speech.
+
+- **Instructions:**  
+  Respond to the following prompts in 3–5 full sentences:
+  - "Tell me about the best trip you ever took."
+  - "Describe a happy childhood memory."
+  - "Tell me about your first job."
+  - "What do you like about where you live?"
+  - "Describe what is happening in the following scene: The boy is pushing the girl."
+
+- **Scoring:**  
+  Uses adapted non-motor APROCSA features (see **Notes on Evaluation**).
+
+---
+
+### 2. Word Comprehension
+
+- **Objective:**  
+  Evaluate lexical-semantic processing and selection among competing meanings.
+
+- **Instructions:**  
+  Elicit responses **verbatim** for the following:
+  - "Which one is an animal: ‘lion’ or ‘drum’?"
+  - "Which object is typically used to make music: ‘violin’ or ‘giraffe’?"
+  - "Which item is usually worn on the feet: ‘boot’ or ‘boat’?"
+  - "Which object is used for cutting: ‘knife’ or ‘kite’?"
+  - "Which one is a large mammal with a long neck: ‘giraffe’ or ‘horse’?"
+
+- **Scoring:**  
+  Responses are scored in a binary fashion (correct/incorrect). Incorrect selections may indicate deficits in semantic processing.
+
+---
+
+### 3. Sentence Comprehension
+
+- **Objective:**  
+  Evaluate syntactic processing, comprehension of passive structures, and logical reasoning.
+
+- **Instructions:**  
+  Elicit responses **verbatim** for the following:
+  - "Are babies watched by babysitters?" (Expected: **Yes**)
+  - "Do you cut the grass with an axe?" (Expected: **No**)
+  - "If you’re about to leave, have you left yet?" (Expected: **No**)
+  - "Are witnesses questioned by police?" (Expected: **Yes**)
+  - "If I was at the park when you arrived, did I get there first?" (Expected: **Yes**)
+
+- **Scoring:**  
+  Delayed or incorrect responses may indicate difficulties with syntactic processing, handling of negation, or confusion with passive constructions.
+
+---
+
+### 4. Repetition
+
+- **Objective:**  
+  Evaluate morphosyntactic integrity.
+
+- **Instructions:**  
+  Elicit responses **verbatim** for the following:
+  - "Please repeat exactly: house."
+  - "Please repeat exactly: breakfast."
+  - "Please repeat exactly: catastrophe."
+  - "Please repeat exactly: The sun rises in the East."
+  - "Please repeat exactly: The ambitious journalist discovered where we’d be going."
+
+- **Scoring:**  
+  Check for exact reproduction. Errors (e.g., phonemic substitutions, deletions, or distortions) indicate issues with morphosyntactic processing.
+
+---
+
+## Notes on Evaluation
+
+TAB scoring is based on **binary pass/fail** criteria according to predefined aphasic markers. The evaluation focuses on the following linguistic features:
+
+- **Anomia:** Word-finding failures or circumlocutions.
+- **Paraphasias:**  
+  - *Semantic Paraphasias:* Substitution of one content word for another.  
+  - *Phonemic Paraphasias:* Errors in sound production (substitution, insertion, deletion, or transposition).
+- **Agrammatism:** Omission of function words or morphemes.
+- **Paragrammatism:** Incorrect or inappropriate grammatical structures.
+- **Empty Speech:** Overuse of vague, nonspecific words.
+- **Repetition/Reading Errors:** Deletions, insertions, or distortions.
+
+For **Connected Text**, each response should be evaluated for the presence (1) or absence (0) of the following APROCSA features:
+
+- Anomia
+- Abandoned utterances
+- Empty speech
+- Semantic paraphasias
+- Phonemic paraphasias (evaluated at token-level in models)
+- Neologisms
+- Jargon
+- Perseverations
+- Stereotypies and automatisms
+- Short and simplified utterances
+- Omission of bound morphemes
+- Omission of function words
+- Paragrammatism
+- Retracing
+- False starts
+- Conduite d’approche
+- Meaning unclear
+- Off-topic
+- Overall communication impairment
+
+---
+
+## Automatic Identification Prompt
+
+The TAB is built for automatic evaluation using in-context LLM prompting. The system processes a transcript and produces a JSON file with each linguistic feature as a key and its value set to **1** (feature present) or **0** (feature not present).
+
+### Instructions
+
+- **Input:**  
+  A transcript passage.
+
+- **Processing:**  
+  Analyze the transcript according to the definitions and examples below.
+
+- **Output:**  
+  A JSON file that includes **every one** of the following features as keys:
+
+  - Anomia
+  - Abandoned utterances
+  - Empty speech
+  - Semantic paraphasias
+  - Phonemic paraphasias
+  - Neologisms
+  - Jargon
+  - Perseverations
+  - Stereotypies and automatisms
+  - Short and simplified utterances
+  - Omission of bound morphemes
+  - Omission of function words
+  - Paragrammatism
+  - False starts
+  - Retracing
+  - Conduite d’approche
+  - Meaning unclear
+  - Off-topic
+  - Overall communication impairment
+
+### Output Format
+
+Your JSON output **must** include each feature as a key with its corresponding value (0 or 1). Do **not** include any additional keys or extraneous information.
