Hypothesis twelve Severity of aphasia positively correlates with the recall of new vocabulary therefore, participants with severe aphasia will learn less new vocabulary than those with less severe aphasia (see section 5.4.2.3). Table 5.37 Correlation co-efficients: IR~ aphasia screening scores of 11 participants (Pearson Correlation results using 1-tailed significance) Variables Results Outliers Severity of Aphasia r = +.769; p
