Construction and Clinical Application of Chinese Semantic Battery
Abstract：Objective To construct the Chinese Semantic Battery and evaluate the significance of clinical application. Methods 45 nor-mal subjects and 100 patients with brain damage finished the Chinese Semantic Battery, including Oral Picture Naming, Picture Pyramids and Palm Trees Test, Word Pyramids and Palm Trees Test, Word Picture Verification and Word Reading. The scores of normal subjects were as norms, and the sensibility, specificity, and Youden's index of the patients were calculated. Results The sensitivity of the battery was 0.96, and the sensitivity of each task was 0.78, 0.68, 0.66, 0.72 and 0.64, respectively. The specificity was 0.96, 0.96, 0.98, 0.96 and 1.00, respec-tively. Youden's index was 0.60, 0.46, 0.42, 0.39 and 0.50, respectively. Conclusion The validity of norms of Chinese Semantic Battery is ac-ceptable for semantic impairments and can be applied to clinical diagnoses and scientific researches.
