Abstract | Many people with aphasia demonstrate problems of oral production at the discourse level. The Main Concept Analysis (MCA) for oral discourse production is a published evidence-based battery for quantifying the degree of presence, accuracy, completeness, and efficiency of targeted main concepts in oral discourse. In Japan, such a standardized tool specialized for assessing spoken discourse is currently lacking. The purpose of this study was to adapt the Japanese version of MCA for oral discourse production (the Japanese-MCA) and examine its validity and reliability. Stage 1 of the study involved the establishment of linguistically-specific main concepts (MCs) of the Japanese-MCA. Ten speech-language-hearing therapists and 60 healthy participants who were native monolingual Japanese speakers were recruited to determine MCs. Stage 2 examined the criterion validity and reliability of the Japanese-MCA. Language samples of 20 participants with aphasia, as verified by Standard Language Test of Aphasia (SLTA), and 20 healthy older participants were used. Results of Stage 1 of the study yielded normative data with a set of target MCs that were geographically and linguistically specific for use in Japan. The results also revealed the comparability of the Japanese-MCA and previously reported versions of other languages. Stage 2 findings indicated not only a high correlation of criterion validity, but also good reliability of the test. With established norms and specific scoring criteria of the Japanese-MCA, it is believed that this new tool will become a useful addition to clinical management and research of aphasia in Japan. |
