The patients’ ability to produce the scripts will be probed at specific timepoints throughout the course of the experiment. We measure their performance at each probe by having the clinician transcribe what the patient produces for the target script. We then quantify the number of target words that were produced by using a specially designed calculator. The output from this calculation then acts as the primary outcome measure (POM) of the experiment. This provides an in-depth look at the maintenance or loss of language ability over the duration of the study.
