Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The difference between the test group and the control group will be based on the following linguistic measures of the ASTA: - The amount of: nouns, lexical verbs, repetitions, minimal responses, neologisms, echolalia, stereotypes, semantic and syntactic paraphasias. - The diversity (type-token ratio) of: nouns and lexical verbs. - The mean length of utterance (MLU) - The percentage of correct utterances. - The finiteness index - The amount of clauses. In addition, while analysing the language samples, special attention will be paid to measures specific for the Arabic language, which may differ significantly between the two test groups.	—
