ABSTRACT
Although PALPA tests have been used both as initial and primary materials, there is a small bias towards their usage as initial tests in preliminary assessment prior to carrying out further experimental investigations of language processing. Although PALPA was designed as an assessment rather than experimental tool, it is gratifying to see that it is sufficiently flexible to be used for broad-based assessments in neuropsychological evaluations of language and as a more precise instrument for use in isolating and exploring more specific neuropsychological impairments in detail.
