@aphasiologist1@BrielleStarkPhD I very much want to Linda! Unsure if I can juggle family things to get up there… have until end of May to decide before the early bird cut-off 📆
@aphasiologist1 … I’m commenting without reading @BrielleStarkPhD’s paper yet. So I’m hoping these comments are on the right track / aligning with the findings of the paper 🤞🙏
@aphasiologist1 Definitely depends on the situation. My go-to’s are narratives (eg CIU’s) and I’ve recently done conversation analysis (eg mazes, abandoned utt’s). Which can both be scored just by listening, not transcribing. Using for both Ax and outcome measurement.
@BrielleStarkPhD@FOQUSAphasia Ooh I’m so excited to read this! I love transcriptionless discourse analysis for ABI. I do worry about stability of measurement, but gathering data over multiple days / contexts isn’t really feasible. Have also often wondered about inter/intra rater reliability… 🤔
